Hazardous Rated Electrical Equipment and the Arc Flash Hazard
2014 IEEE Petroleum and Chemical Industry Technical Conference (PCIC), 2014This paper evaluates the relationship between hazardous-rated electrical equipment, which is suitable for installation in Class I, Division 1 (Zone 1), or Division 2 (Zone 2) locations, and an arc-rated switchgear, which is designed to withstand the effects of an internal arcing fault.

A Hazard Rate Approach to the Timing of Births
Econometrica, 1984"This paper discusses two approaches that economists have taken in analyzing the timing of births. It formulates an empirical model appropriate for one of these approaches and demonstrates its usefulness using household survey data from Costa Rica. The hazard rate technique employed in this paper is a natural way of modeling a broad class of problems

The Hazard Rates of First and Second Defaults [PDF]
The Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics, 2000 This article examines hazards of repeated mortgage default, conditional on reinstating out of an initial default episode. Results indicate that subsequent default risk for reinstated borrowers is significantly greater than the risk of first default, especially during the first two years after a default episode.

Biometrical Journal, 1985
AbstractThis note proposes a new model for summarising data on survival distribution. A simple graphical method (or equivalently a linear‐regression‐based method) for estimation of parameters is given. The model is shown to describe adequately data on Survivorship of Starling Birds reported by LACK (1943) and data on power generators reported by ...

A rating system for determination of hazardous wastes
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2005Although hazardous waste lists and their classification methodologies are nearly the same in most of the countries, there are some gaps and subjectiveness in determining the waste as hazardous waste. A rating system for the determination of waste as a hazardous waste is presented in this study which aims to overcome the problems resulted from the ...

Hazard Rates and Generalized Beta Distributions
IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 1987This paper considers the behavior of the hazard rates of the Generalized gamma, and beta of the first and second kind. The hazard functions include strictly decreasing, constant, strictly increasing, ? and ? shaped hazard rates. By considering the generalized distributions a unified development for such distributions as beta type 1, beta type 2, Burr ...

SOME RESULTS ON REVERSED HAZARD RATE
Probability in the Engineering and Informational Sciences, 2001In view of the growing importance of reversed hazard rate (RHR) in reliability analysis and stochastic modeling, we have considered different implicative relationships with respect to the monotonic behavior of RHR. In that context, a few characterizing properties have also been presented based on expected inactivity time.

Hazard rate function in dynamic environment
Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 2014Abstract The hazard rate function is always applied to make maintenance policy, and the usual hazard rate function is computed by the data of failure times of systems working in constant environment, thus for systems working in dynamic environment it cannot be directly applied.

AbstractHazard rate processes are discussed in the context of doubly stochastic Poisson processes. We derive an explicit expression for the reliability function corresponding to an increasing hazard rate processes with independent increments. Also, bounds are obtained for the reliability function of a system with a general hazard rate process.

Beta Hazard Rate Distribution and Applications
IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 2015We introduce a new finite range life distribution with a hazard rate function of the form of a nonstandard beta density function. The hazard rate function is either increasing, or has a bathtub shape with a long flat middle interval. The proposed model has a simple structure.
