Complex Systems RBD |
This example validates the results for complex systems in BlockSim's analytical and simulation diagrams.
Reference Case
The data set is from example 4.9 on page 85 in the book Life Cycle Reliability Engineering by Dr. Guangbin Yang, John Wiley & Sons, 2007.
Data
Some systems are made up of independent series, parallel, series, series-parallel, parallel-series, k-out-of-n, and redundant subsystems. The reliability of such an engineering system (presented in Figure 4.17 on page 85) is computed at 600 hours of mission time. Each component has an exponential life distribution model with a different lambda. Failures rates are presented in table below.
| Components of the System | Number of Failures, [math]\displaystyle{ \lambda }[/math] (x10-4 per hour) |
|---|---|
| Component 1 | 1.2 |
| Component 2 | 2.3 |
| Component 3 | 0.9 |
| Component 4 | 1.6 |
| Component 5 | 4.8 |
| Component 6 | 3.3 |
| Component 7 | 1.7 |
| Component 8 | 2.5 |
| Component 9 | 4.3 |
| Component 10 | 4.3 |
