FUNCTIONAL REDUNDANCY TO ACHIEVE HIGH RELIABILITY

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1979
Abstract In conventional protection and control systems, hardware is dedicated to perform a given function, and to protect against failure, this hardware has to be replicated. There is a trend to continue this practice into the field of computer-based protection systems.

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.

Differentiation of Reliability Functions

1996
One of the main tools in reliability analysis of stochastic technical systems [4],[7],[10] are probability functions of the type. $$ {\rm P}\left( {\rm x} \right)\,:\, = \,{\rm P}\left( {{\rm y}_{\ell {\rm i}} \, < \,{\rm y}_{\rm i} \,\left( {{\rm a}\left( \omega \right)\,,\,{\rm x}} \right)\, < \,{\rm y}_{{\rm ui}} \,,\,{\rm l} \le {\rm i} \le {\rm

Reliability Function and Boolean Ring

Babylonian Journal of Mathematics, 2023
Reliability functions are fundamental mathematical models in engineering reliability theory, giving the probability that a system or component functions over a given time period. Boolean rings are algebraic structures with addition, multiplication, and complementation operations that follow certain axioms.

Assessment of Reliability Function

1984
In the previous section, the reliability of a system was expressed in precise probabilistic terms. However, no indication was given on how to find the appropriate reliability function for a real component or system. There are two different approaches to this problem.

System Reliability as a Function of Component Reliability

2005
In reliability theory, as in any theory, we think and operate in terms of models. In this chapter we investigate a model of a system,which consists of elements or components. Our purpose is to develop a formal instrument to enable us to receive information about a system’s reliability from information about the reliability of its components.

Parallel Function Processor Reliability Test

1990
Abstract : A week long test was run on the Parallel Function Processor (PFP) Monday June 12, 1989 through Sunday June 18, 1989. Temperature data was collected over a 103 hour period from Tuesday June 13, 1989 through Saturday June 17, 1989 at 32 points on the system. Plots of 31 of these points are included in this report, the 11th thermocouple did not
