A system has two components arrangeded in series with identical reliabilities of 0.90. Determine the reliability of the system under each of these conditions: a. The current reliability of the system. b. Each system component has a backup with a reliability of 0.90. (Leave your answer to 4 decimal places) c. Each system component has a backup with a reliability of 0.95 and a switch that is 0.99 reliable is connected serially in the system. (Leave your answer to 4 decimal places) d. One of the given two backups with reliabilities of 0.96 and 0.97.

Step 1
The current reliability of the system is the product of the reliabilities of the two components in series. Since both components have a reliability of 0.90, the reliability of the system is 0.90 * 0.90 = 0.81. b. Each system component has a backup with a Show more…

A system has 4 components, A, B, C, and D, with reliability values of 0.98, 0.89, 0.94, and 0.95, respectively. If the components are in series, what is the system reliability? Also, what is the probability of failure of this series system, Fs? RA = 0.98 RB = 0.89 RC = 0.94 RD = 0.95 If the series system above has failure probabilities of FA = 0.01, FB = 0.10, FC = 0.11, and FD = 0.02, what is the reliability of the system? What is the probability of failure of the system?

A subassembly is composed of two components, components A and B, which operate in series and have constant failure rates. Find the MTTF and R(1), the reliability at the end of the first year for the following configuration: Two identical subassemblies configured as a standby system with annual component failure rates of 0.08 and 0.12 and standby annual failure rates of 0.01 and 0.04, for components A and B, respectively. (Hint: A single subassembly consists of the two components A & B in "series")

Consider three components such that r1 = 0.92, r2 = 0.9, r3 = 0.84. (a) What is the system reliability if these three components are connected in series? (b) What is the system reliability if these three components are connected in parallel? (c) Suppose the series system in part (a) is not sufficiently reliable. If system-level redundancy is applied, what is the new value of system reliability? (d) Suppose the series system in part (a) is not sufficiently reliable. If component-level redundancy is applied, what is the new value of system reliability?
