4s-3ReliabilityReliability Reliability : The ability of a product, part, or system to perform its intended function under a prescribed set of conditions Failure : Situation in which a product, part, or system does not perform as intended Normal operating conditions: The set of conditions under which an item’s reliability is specified
4s-4Reliability Probability that the product or system will: Function when activated Function for a given length of time Independent events Events whose occurrence or nonoccurrence do not influence each other Redundancy The use of backup components to increase reliability Reliability is a Probability
4s-5Reliability Rule Lamp 1Lamp 2.90 x.80 =.72
4s-6Reliability Rule (1-.90)*.80 =.98 Lamp 1 Lamp 2 (backup)
4s-7Reliability Rule [(1-.90)*(1-.80)*(1-.70)] = – P(all fail) Lamp 1 Lamp 2 (backup for Lamp1) Lamp 3 (backup for Lamp 2)
4s-8Reliability Example S-1 Reliability Determine the reliability of the system shown
4s-9Reliability Example S-1 Solution The system can be reduced to a series of three components (1-.90) (1-.95).98 x.99 x.996 =.966
4s-10Reliability Failure Rate Figure 4S.1 Few (random) failures Infant mortality Failures due to wear-out Time, T Failure Rate

4s-13ReliabilityAvailability The fraction of time a piece of equipment is expected to be available for operation MTBF = mean time between failures MTR = mean time to repair
