Reliability Enginnering: Presented by

This document discusses reliability engineering and key reliability concepts. It defines reliability as the probability of an item performing adequately for a specified period of time under stated conditions. It describes how system reliability depends on the reliability of its lowest-level components. It provides examples of series and parallel systems models and how they impact overall reliability. Key reliability parameters discussed include MTBF, MTTF, FITs, and MTTR. Benefits of reliability engineering include product improvement, planned maintenance, avoided failures, reduced costs, and better customer relations.

Reliability Enginnering

Presented by:
Tarang Jain Rahul Gupta Padmaja Pore

Definition of Reliability
The Probability of an item ( component/system) to perform adequately for a specified period of time. under stated conditions

Reliability Engineering
Reliability of a higher level of system
Relationship between different equipment Reliability of modules which make the equipment Reliability of system is depend upon reliability of lowest level

Series Model :Automobile with four Wheels

System reliability ,Rs=

i 1

Parallel model: Two Boilers But needed


One for operation

Rs =

1 (1 i )
i 1

Functionally parallel
The equipment can be in series , but if they act as back up for one another they considered as in parallel

Illustration

pump Valve 1 valve 2

Reaction vessel

Let see one example


0.95

0.70

Cont.
1-(1-0.95)*(1-0.70) 1-0.015=0.985 The reliability of the parallel system is greater then the reliability of any of its component

Reliability Parameters
Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) MTBF is a basic measure of reliability for repairable items. It can be described as the number of hours that pass before a component, assembly, or system fails. It is a commonly-used variable in reliability and maintainability analysis. MTBF can be calculated as the inverse of the failure rate for constant failure rate systems. For example: If a component has a failure rate of 2 failures per million hours, the MTBF would be the inverse of that failure rate. MTBF = (1,000,000 hours) / (2 failures) = 500,000 hours

Cont
Mean Time To Failure (MTTF) MTTF is a basic measure of reliability for non-repairable systems. It is the mean time expected until the first failure of a piece of equipment. MTTF is a statistical value and is meant to be the mean over a long period of time and large number of units. For constant failure rate systems, MTTF is the inverse of the failure rate. If failure rate is in failures/million hours, MTTF = 1,000,000 / Failure Rate for components with exponential distributions. Technically MTBF should be used only in reference to repairable items, while MTTF should be used for nonrepairable items. However, MTBF is commonly used for both repairable and non-repairable items.

Cont
FITS (fail in time)
FITS is a more intuitive way of representing MTBF. FITS is nothing but the total number of failures of the module in a billion hours (i.e. 1000,000,000 hours).

MTTR
Mean Time To Repair (MTTR), is the time taken to repair a failed module. It should be a goal of system designers to allow for a high MTTR value and still achieve the system reliability goals. Low MTTR requirement means high operational cost for the system.

Benefits
