Assignment 3

This document contains solutions to reliability engineering problems involving calculating mean time to failure (MTTF) and reliability of components and systems. For the first problem, it calculates the MTTF of individual components and a system based on given failure rates and a target system reliability over a 5 year design life. For other problems, it determines probabilities of component failures within given time periods and calculates overall system reliability based on failure rates of individual components.

Q.3.

9 A
given data - design life 5 yr and system reliability 0.95
and ƛ1=2ƛ2 and ƛ3= 3ƛ2 where ƛ is failure rate of component

to find - mttf of each component and system

mttf of system equal to 1/ƛ1+ƛ2+ƛ3

ƛ1+ƛ2+ƛ3 = - LN(0.95)/5 0.0102587

mttf of system will be 97.478629

ƛ1= 0.0034196 ƛ2= 0.0017098 ƛ3= 0.0051293

B time = 5yr
suppose ƛ=ƛ1
system reliability in parellel will be= 1-(1-exp^-ƛt)^2 if both parellel components will be identical

so system reliabiliyy will be= 0.0336175

Q.3.11 A
given data - mttf of each batteries 5 hrs

to find = probability of batteries failure within first 2 hrs operation

prabability of one battrery failure = (1-exp^ƛt)

0.32968
B
to find - probability of more than one failure

required probability will be =1-( 0 fail+1fail) (e^-ƛ*ƛ^x)/factorial x

x=0,1

ans= 0.2642411
C
yes

Q.3.12A
given data - time -1000hrs and ƛ1=0.000356/hrs, ƛ2=0.00156/hrs

required reliability will be = 1-(1-e^-ƛ1*t)*(1-e^-ƛ2*t)

0.4467219
and mttf will be integration of R(t)dt

R(t)= 1

mttf= 902.59529

Q.3.15
given data failure rate =0.15/yrs ,gurantee life 2months ,time 10,000 hrs

to find - reliability
reqired reliability will be = R(t/t0)/R(to)

R(t/t0)= 0.9682765
R(t0)= 0.9993904

required probability = 0.9688671

Q.3.18
given data avg. life or mttf = 1000 hrs

so operating failure rate ƛo = 0.001

operating hours t0= 10


idle hours ti = 14
probability (p)= 0.0083333

let idle failure rate (ƛi) = 0

so failure rate effective ƛeff = 0.0007639

R(t) = 0.90 = exp^- ƛeff*T here T = design life in day

T = 137.92649 hrs = 5.7469372 days

Q.3.20
given data failure rate per cartoon = 0.005

no of cartoon in 1 hrs = 150

so the reliability of no jam during 1 hrs period = 0.4723666


mponents will be identical

(using poisson distribution )
