Special Vehicle

The reliability assessment of special vehicles has become very important. However, due to the special structure of special vehicles, it is difficult to collect a large amount of experimental data. The use of traditional fault tree analysis cannot accurately assess product reliability. In this paper, dynamic fault trees are used to model the critical systems of special vehicles, and discrete Bayesian networks are used to evaluate the reliability of critical systems of special vehicles, which solved the problems of difficulty in accurately describing complex systems in the process of system reliability analysis and difficulty in obtaining accurate data in the process of analysis. Finally, through the combination of expert experience and the evaluation of the calculation results, the rationality of the method used in this paper in the reliability evaluation of special vehicles is verified.

Critical Components

Due to the high failure rates and the high cost of operation and maintenance of wind turbines, not only manufacturers but also service providers try many ways to improve the reliability of some critical components and subsystems. In reality, redundancy design is commonly used to improve the reliability of critical components and subsystems. The load dependencies and failure dependencies among redundancy components and subsystems are crucial to the reliability assessment of wind turbines. However, the redundancy components are treated as a parallel system, and the load correlations among them are ignored in much literature, which may lead to the wrong system’s reliability and much higher costs. For this reason, this article explores the influences of load-sharing on system reliability. The whole system’s reliability is quantitatively evaluated using fault tree analysis and the Markov-chain method. Following this, the optimisation of the redundancy allocation problem considering the load-sharing is conducted to maximise the system reliability and reduce the total cost of the system subjecting to the available system cost and space. The results produced by this methodology can show a realistic reliability assessment of the entire wind turbine from a quantitative point of view. The realistic reliability assessment can help to design a cost-effective and more reliable system and significantly reduce the cost of wind turbines.

Abstract This paper deals with possibilities of using genetic algorithms in design of costs optimization, which are needed to reach given reliability of technical system, respectively system reliability optimization by given amount of investment costs. In following chapters, there is a described design of new method, which will be later implemented in application and verified on an example. Causal relationships between system failures and elements faults can be detected by analytic approach, when at first the undesired system fault is identified and its reasons are progressively detected. The reliability of system and its elements is analyzed using method FTA (fault tree analysis) and system is represented by fault trees. In order to optimize costs, respectively reliability, the genetic algorithms are used.

The Impact

Based on the introduction of the station power using system, this paper used fault tree analysis method to model the reliability of station power using system, which had been always ignored in traditional HVDC system reliability evaluation but actually had an important impact on the result of evaluation. Whats more, it assessed the reliability of the whole HVDC system (included station power using system) by means of frequency and duration method. Finally, an example was given to prove the correctness and validity of the proposed theory.

In an automated systems environment is very important to predicted failures or unexpected situations to achieve system reliability. Failure of such systems can cause serious property damage, the environment, damage to human health or cause death. The essential task is to determine the tolerable and acceptable risk. The required level of risk for safety-critical systems can be achieved by using international technical standards and applying safety functions. Safety functions are implemented using an electrical/electronic/programmable electronics (E/E/PE) safety-related system. Technical standards offer the aspect of balancing risk tolerability according to the relevant, reliable safety functions. Based on the specific architecture of the whole system, it is possible to determine the maximum failure rate of the probability of failure on demand (PFDSYS) of the selected architecture. Subsequent application of reliability analysis using the event tree analysis (ETA) and fault tree analysis (FTA) methods can optimize the failure rate of the entire system. Application of reliability analysis using event tree analysis (ETA) and fault tree analysis (FTA) methods can only theoretically optimize the failure rate of the entire system with constant initial conditions and constant parameters of the reliability functions. The article proposes a new methodology for dynamic analysis of the state of system reliability as a function of the system operation time, maintenance frequency and system architecture. As a result of the methodology is a library of standard element architectures and simulation models which allows predicting and optimizing the reliability of E/E/PE safety-related systems.

System Reliability Analysis

PurposeIn some environments, the failure rate of a system depends not only on time but also on the system condition, such as vibrational level, efficiency and the number of random shocks, each of which causes failure. In this situation, systems can keep working, though they fail gradually. So, the purpose of this paper is modeling multi-state system reliability analysis in capacitor bank under fatal and nonfatal shocks by a simulation approach.Design/methodology/approachIn some situations, there may be several levels of failure where the system performance diminishes gradually. However, if the level of failure is beyond a certain threshold, the system may stop working. Transition from one faulty stage to the next can lead the system to more rapid degradation. Thus, in failure analysis, the authors need to consider the transition rate from these stages in order to model the failure process.FindingsThis study aims to perform multi-state system reliability analysis in energy storage facilities of SAIPA Corporation. This is performed to extract a predictive model for failure behavior as well as to analyze the effect of shocks on deterioration. The results indicate that the reliability of the system improved by 6%.Originality/valueThe results of this study can provide more confidence for critical system designers who are engaged on the proper system performance beyond economic design.

Monitoring and control of subway tunnel diseases throughout operation determine whether the operation of the subway is safe or not. In order to ensure operation safety, in-depth analysis of tunnel disease risks must be conducted. We constructed a fault tree based on tunnel diseases of Shanghai Subway at first. Using the subway tunnel maintenance work data, we calculated the probability of occurrence of elementary events of the fault tree, conducted quantitative calculation and analysis on the tunnel diseases, and found major diseases of the tunnels and their causes in light of the calculation results. Then, indicated by the precise fault tree analysis (FTA) we conducted, common tunnel diseases mainly include large passenger flow, shortage of maintenance personnel, maintenance error, personal carelessness, hot weather, and poor lighting. Analysis was conducted on the probability importance of elementary events of the tunnel diseases as well. In the end, we proposed the tunnel disease association rule mining algorithm based on the support degree. Via the calculation of association among major diseases, we explored the elaborate association mechanism of the diseases. The in-depth mining on the association mechanism can provide theoretical support and decision support for prevention and comprehensive control of the tunnel diseases and lay a solid foundation of practice guidance for subway operation safety of megacities.
