Initialization of a ”design for Reliability” Method for Complex Systems

چکیده
Nowadays, the industrial competition is based on the Total Cost Ownership of the products (TCO). This is particularly true for big complex systems such as helicopters, for which the maintenance costs, often takes the largest part of this TCO. Thus the challenge for such integrators is to invest in reliability engineering projects aimed at increasing their product’s reliability to market them with the lowest TCO. To do so, industrialists need tools allowing them to predict the gain on products TCO realized with the development of reliability increasing projects during the design phase. Because of the complexity of the reliability parameter, the existing reliability engineering tools are not directly operational and require to be adapted for a complete and direct exploitation in industry.

DEVELOPING A NEW INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE FOR DISTILLATION COLUMN SIMULATION
The simulation of distillation columns is an essential step in design, optimization, and rating. In this paper, a new procedure has been proposed for the initial estimation of column profiles based on modified Kremser’s group method for simple and/or complex columns. The effect of this initialization algorithm on simulation procedure has been studied through two examples. The results show sig...
متن کاملA new idea for exact solving of the complex interval linear systems
In this paper, the aim is to find a complex interval vector [Z] such that satisfies the complex interval linear system C[Z]=[W]. For this, we present a new method by restricting the general solution set via applying some parameters. The numerical examples are given to show ability and reliability of the proposed method.
متن کاملDeveloping a method for reliability allocation of series-parallel systems by considering common cause failure
Reliability allocation has an essential connection to design for reliability and is an important activity in the product design and development process. In determining the reliability of subsystems or components on the basis of goal reliability, attention must be paid to failure effect, failure information, and improvement opportunities based upon real potentials for reliability improvement. In...
