Moment inequalities for the reliability function

Statistics & Probability Letters, 1992
Consider a binary system with \(n\) components. Let \(X=(X_ 1,\dots,X_ n)\) be the state vector of the system. Let \(\phi(X)\) denote the structure function of the system. Let \(p=(p_ 1,p_ 2,\dots,p_ n)\), where \(0\leq p_ i\leq 1\) is the random reliability of the component \(i\).

Reliabilities of the Groningen Functional Capacity Test

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2003
The purpose of this study was to make a preliminary evaluation of the test-retest reliability of the Groningen Functional Capacity Test, a test developed to assess the functional capacity of people with a chronic disease and/or physical handicap and participating in a recreational sports stimulation program called SCALA, as a way to create homogeneous

Asymptotic behaviour of reliability functions

Statistics & Probability Letters, 1988
We relate the classes of life distributions based on notions of aging with those that depend on the tail behaviour. This last classification introduces the concepts of outlier-neutral, outlier-prone and outlier- resistant distributions. We prove some results that connect IFR, IFRA, NBU and NBUE definitions with the outlier-resistance concept. Similarly

Urban Expressway Functional Reliability

Journal of Highway and Transportation Research and Development (English Edition), 2016
AbstractDifferent grades of roads have different function goals during the process of planning and design. The extent of function realization has significant effects on the operational efficiency of a road network system. In accordance with the function description of urban expressways in the Code for Design of Urban Road Engineering (CJJ37—2012), this

Reliability of systems with various functions

Reliability Engineering, 1981
Abstract The technical system considered is supposed to fulfil various functions. For each of these functions a corresponding subsystem is defined in terms of the system components. Generally different subsystems may have common components. Therefore these subsystems are statistically dependent even if the components are independent.

Reliability Methods for Passive Safety Functions

10th International Conference on Nuclear Engineering, Volume 2, 2002
This paper presents the study performed within the framework of a European Project called Reliability Methods for Passive Safety Functions (RMPS). Its objective is to propose a specific methodology to assess the passive system thermal-hydraulic (T-H) reliability.

Hilbert Functions in Design for Reliability

IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 2015
The algebraic approach to the analysis of system reliability associates an algebraic object, a monomial ideal, to a coherent system (CS), and studies the reliability of the system using the Hilbert series of the monomial ideal. New capabilities of the algebraic method in system design are shown, in particular related to enumeration of working states ...

Multi-function System Reliability [PDF]

2019 Annual Reliability and Maintainability Symposium (RAMS), 2019
Reliability is defined as the probability of a system successfully maintaining its function within the specified time under the specified condition. Reliability theory has been mainly developed for single-function system with single reliability structure of the system [1–2].

Generalized S-Shapedness of Reliability Functions

Mathematics of Operations Research, 1986
Reliability functions have the property that if they intersect the diagonal y = x it is done in an S-shaped form (Moore and Shannon). In this paper a wider class of polynomials is presented, the members of which form a dense grid on the unit square. The S-shapedness intersection property holds whenever a reliability function intersects a polynomial ...
