چکیده
This paper deals with the Reliability analysis of K-out-of-n : G redundant system in the presence of Lethal & Non-lethal Common Cause Shock failures (CCS) along with imperfect fault coverage. S.Akhtar (1994) has discussed the reliability analysis of k-out-of-n: G redundant system with Perfect and imperfect fault coverage and derived Reliability measures namely Rs (t), As (t), MTTF, MTBF. K.Mallikarjunudu & A.A. Chari [15] has extended the reliability analysis for deriving reliability indices viz Rs (t), As (t), MTTF&MTBF in the presence of Non-lethal CCS failures with imperfect fault coverage as model extension of S.Akhtar. In this direction, this paper further attempts to extend the same by including lethal shock failures in addition to the Non-lethal CCS failures along with imperfect fault coverage. The model derives the Reliability measures such as Rs (t), As (t), MTTF, MTBF. Also Numerical results are provided to highlight the impact of Lethal & Non-lethal CCS in support of the model.

Fuzzy Reliability Evaluation of a Repairable System with Imperfect Coverage, Reboot and Common-cause Shock Failure
In the present investigation, we deal with the reliability characteristics of a repairable system consisting of two independent operating units, by incorporating the coverage factor. The probability of the successful detection, location and recovery from a failure is known as the coverage probability. The reboot delay and common cause shock failure are also considered. The times to failure of t...
متن کاملMTBF evaluation for 2-out-of-3 redundant repairable systems with common cause and cascade failures considering fuzzy rates for failures and repair: a case study of a centrifugal water pumping system
In many cases, redundant systems are beset by both independent and dependent failures. Ignoring dependent variables in MTBF evaluation of redundant systems hastens the occurrence of failure, causing it to take place before the expected time, hence decreasing safety and creating irreversible damages. Common cause failure (CCF) and cascading failure are two varieties of dependent failures, both l...

This study is concerned with the performance modeling of a fault tolerant system consisting of operating units supported by a combination of warm and cold spares. The on-line as well as warm standby units are subject to failures and are send for the repair to a repair facility having single repairman which is prone to failure. If the failed unit is not detected, the system enters into an unsafe...
متن کاملCalculation and Analysis of Reliability with Consideration of Common Cause Failures (CCF) (Case Study: The Input of the Dynamic Positioning System of a Submarine)
Abstract The reliability and safety of any system is the most important qualitative characteristic of a system. This qualitative characteristic is of particular importance in systems whose functions are under various stresses, such as high temperature, high speed, high pressure, etc. A considerable point, which is rarely taken into account when calculating the reliability and safety of syst...
متن کاملAssessment of redundant systems with imperfect coverage by means of binary decision diagrams
In this article, we study the assessment of the reliability of redundant systems with imperfect fault coverage. We term fault coverage the ability of a system to isolate and correctly accommodate failures of redundant elements. For highly reliable systems, such as avionic and space systems, fault coverage is in general imperfect and has a significant impact on system reliability. We review here...
