This research proposes a novel framework of final drive simultaneous failure diagnosis containing feature extraction, training paired diagnostic models, generating decision threshold, and recognizing simultaneous failure modes. In feature extraction module, adopt wavelet package transform and fuzzy entropy to reduce noise interference and extract representative features of failure mode. Use sin...

Aim: To evaluate the effect of storage media and autoclaving on shear bond strength of composite to enamel. Materials and Methods: 100 human premolars were randomly divided into ten groups of ten as follows: C: freshly extracted teeth. A: Autoclaved freshly extracted teeth. CH-6: 6 month storage in 0.5 % chloramine T. CA-6: 6 month storage in 0.5 % chloramine T + autoclaving. T-6: 6 month stora...

To compound this, examples of abnormal behavior in high-integrity systems are few and far between; usually, there are insufficient examp...

The paper discusses a case study concerning the functional safety assessment based on the evaluation of the Safe Failure Fraction (SFF) for a complex system. Being such evaluation made according to IEC61508 standard, the paper focused on some related ambiguities. The paper is structured in two phases. First, a reliability prediction of each component of the system is implemented and then a Fail...

This paper deals with the transient analysis of K-out-of-N: G system consisting of Noperatingmachines. To improve system reliability, Y cold standby and S warm standbys spares areprovided to replace the failed machines. The machines are assumed to fail in multiple modes. At leastK-out-of-N machines for smooth functioning of the system. Reliability and mean time to failure areestablished in term...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Failure mode and effects analysis Data envelopment analysis Overall risks Risk priority ranking Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a method that examines potential failures in products or processes and has been used in many quality management systems. One important issue of FMEA is the determination of the risk priorities of failure modes. In this paper ...
