Assignment 2 - Report of Failure Probability of Design
Assignment 2 (Group)
1. Objective of the research: Propose new methodology for complex systems’ design for
reliability.
3. Summarize of research:
In this article, industries involved in drilling activities often face failures of their own
drilling systems and equipment. During the drilling process, sometimes the drill bit is
broken. This causes the downtime take too long. It happens whether to repatriate broken
drill points and reinstall new drill points. In addition, due to excessive drilling, the
electrical components of the drilling system will fail. All of these contribute to waste of
time and result in losses in operating and production costs. Therefore, they want to
evaluate a new design that is intended to be created whether it is reliable or not. The
objective is to predict when damage and failure will occur, making replacement of the
equipment and components involved before failure and thus reducing downtime.
4. Summarize the Calculation
𝜆𝑏 = 0.0054 × exp [(𝑇𝐴 + 273) / 377 ]10.4 for 125ºC rated temperature,
where 𝑥𝑘𝑛 is the 𝑛th iteration of 𝑘th parameter and 𝐴(𝑡) is the availability value.

Where :
d. Load- sharing system, with two same items, initially both units share the load, with
times to failure distribution being ƒh(t).

e. Renewal equation:
(7)
f. Let An be the virtual age of the system has time to the (n+1)th failure Xn+1 which is
distributed according to the following CDF. Conditional CDF of system at age y
shown below:
(8)
where F(X) is the CDF of the TTFF distribution of the system when it was new
(underlying) distribution.
h. For the GRP, the expected number of failures in (0, 𝑡), that is, CIF 𝑊(𝑋), is given by
a solution of the so-called 𝐺- renewal equation:
(9)
where
(𝑡), and 𝑓(𝑡) are the CDF and PDF of the TTFF (underlying) distribution.

Where Rs(t) is reliability of the system and Ri(t) is reliability of the component i.
j. From mathematical point of view, the reliability allo- cation problem is a nonlinear
programming problem. It is shown as follows:
Maximize
(12)
where
Rs is system reliability, 0 ≤ Rs ≤ 1, Fs unrealibility of system
Rj is componenet reliability of stage j, 0 ≤ Rs ≤ 1
Rj min is lower limit on Rs
Rj max is upper limit on Rs, bi is resources allocated to ith type of
constraint,
f (∙) is the system reliability function
gi(∙) is the ith constraint function
n is number of subsystem in the system
m is the number of resources
k. In this method, weighting factors for a subsystem are equal to the division of the
failure rate of the subsystem to the sum of all subsystems failure rates of a system.
Equation shows below:
(13)
where
n is the number of subsystems
λi is the failure rate of ith subsystems
λ* is the required failure rate of system
λi* is the allocated failure rate for ith subsystems
wi is the weighting factors
