Reliability analysis of large repairable systems Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • The state space approach is a flexible technique for system reliability modeling and calculations. When, however, the number of states is large this method encounters problems of storage, computer time and rounding off errors. The problem areas while using this approach for large and complex repairable systems are identified and suitable methods for overcoming these difficulties are suggested. The techniques of state merging, state space truncation and sequential truncation are presented. A brief introduction to the frequency balancing approach is also given as it is necessary for understanding these techniques. 1974.
