چکیده

Functionality for efficient computation of properties of system lifetimes was developed, based on the Mathematica framework. The model of these systems consists of a system structure and the component’s independent lifetime distributions. The components are assumed to be non-repairable. In this work a very general implementation was created, allowing a large number of lifetime distributions from Mathematica for all the component distributions. All system structures with a monotone increasing structure function can be used. Special effort has been made to compute fast results when using the exponential distribution for component distributions. Standby systems have also been modeled in similar generality. Both warm and cold standby components are supported. During development, a large collection of examples were also used to test functionality and efficiency. A number of these examples are presented. The implementation was evaluated on large real world system examples, and was found to be efficient. New results are presented for standby systems, especially for the case of mixed warm and cold standby components. Sammanfattning Funktionalitet för effektiv beräkning av systems livstidsegenskaper har utvecklats, baserat på Mathematicas ramverk. Modellerna för dessa system består av en systemstruktur och komponenternas oberoende livstidsdistributioner. Komponenterna antas vara icke reparerbara. En mycket generell implementation som hanterar ett stort antal distributioner från Mathematica som komponenters distributioner har utvecklats. Alla systemstrukturer med en monotont växande strukturfunktion kan användas. Särskild hänsyn har tagits för att uppnå effektiva uträkningar när exponentialdistributionen används för komponenter. Standbysystem har också modellerats med motsvarande generalitet. Både varma och kalla standbykomponenter stöds. Under utvecklingen har ett stort antal exempel använts för utvärdering av korrekthet och effektivitet. Ett antal av dessa exempel presenteras. Implementationen har även utvärderats på stora verklighetsbaserade system, och konstaterats vara effektiv. Nya resultat presenteras för standbysystem, speciellt för fallet med blandade varma och kalla standbykomponenter.

Reliability analysis of repairable systems using system dynamics modeling and simulation

Repairable standby system’s study and analysis is an important topic in reliability. Analytical techniques become very complicated and unrealistic especially for modern complex systems. There have been attempts in the literature to evolve more realistic techniques using simulation approach for reliability analysis of systems. This paper proposes a hybrid approach called as Markov system ...
