CALCULATING THE TIME-SPECIFIC FREQUENCY OF SYSTEM FAILURE Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • This paper develops a formula for converting the expression for time-specific probability of system success into time-specific frequency of system failure. This conversion rule is then used to derive an expression for time-specific frequency of system failure using the tieset approach. The calculation of interval frequency from time-specific frequency is also presented. Copyright 1979 by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
