Reliability Comparison Between Redundant Repairable Network Flow Systems

چکیده
The importance in promoting, sustaining industries, manufacturing systems and economy through reliability measurement has become an area of interest. Reliability is one of the most important factors in any successful industries and manufacturing settings. In this paper, we study the reliability of three different repairable redundant network flow systems. First order differential equations method is used to obtain the explicit expressions for mean time to system failure, steady-state availability, busy period of repairman and profit function. Some numerical experiments are conducted in order to illustrate the effects of failure and repair rates on reliability indices such as mean time to system failure, steady-state availability and profit function. Furthermore, we compare the configurations based on reliability indices and cost benefits for the three configurations and find that configuration II is more reliable than configuration I and III.

Comparative analysis of profit between three dissimilar repairable redundant systems using supporting external device for operation
The importance in promoting, sustaining industries, manufacturing systems and economy through reliability measurement has become an area of interest. The profit of a system may be enhanced using highly reliable structural design of the system or subsystem of higher reliability. On improving the reliability and availability of a system, the production and associated profit will also increase. Re...
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 investigation deals with the transient analysis of the machine repair system consisting of M-operating units operating under the care of single repairman. To improve the system reliability/availability, Y warm standby and S cold standby units are provided to replace the failed units. In case when all spares are being used, the failure of units occurs in degraded fashion. In such situation ...
