On the Mean Time between Failures for Repairable Systems [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 1986
Much of the recent work on modelling repairable systems involves Poisson processes with nonconstant intensity functions, viz, nonhomogeneous Poisson processes. Since times between failures are not identically distributed when the process is nonhomogeneous, it is not clear what concept should take the place of the mean time between failures in assessing

The mean time between failures for an LCD panel

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, 2011
AbstractThe calculation of mean time between failures is very important in reliability life data analysis. For different distributions, the values of mean time between failures are always different. The two‐parameter Weibull distribution is widely used in reliability engineering. However, some distributions may offer a better fit of data.

Sequential Testing for Comparison of the Mean Time Between Failures for Two Systems

IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 2007
This study deals with simultaneous testing of two systems, one "basic" (subscript b), and the other "new" (n), both with an exponential distribution describing the times between failures. We test whether the mean TBFn/MTBFb ratio equals a given value, versus whether it is smaller than the given value. These tests yield a binomial pattern.

Comparison of the Mean Time Between Failures for Two Systems Under Short Tests

IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 2009
A sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) is discussed, for comparison of two systems, one "basic" (b), and the other "new" (n), with exponentially distributed times between failures (TBF). The hypothesis that the mean TBFn/MTBFb ges 1 is checked, versus one that it is

Control of mean time between failures

International Journal of Control, 1994
A new optimal stochastic control problem is posed. The criterion is to maximize the mean-time-between-failures criterion given a certain reference value. It is shown that this control problem is closely related both to the problem of minimizing the variance of the signal—minimum variance control — and to the problem of minimizing the so-called ...

An assessment of mean time between failures for a group of rolling bearings

2011 International Conference on Quality, Reliability, Risk, Maintenance, and Safety Engineering, 2011
Rolling bearings are usually considered to be non-repaired items the reliability of which is characterized by mean time to failure, or so called basic rating life. Reliability describes these parameters well in case the bearings are used in operation up to the very time the failure occurs, or during the time corresponding with basic rating life.
