If a component has a relatively high probability for failure that will affect the overall function of a product, then redundancy is applied.TrueFalse

Step 1
Redundancy refers to the inclusion of extra components or systems in a product to provide backup or alternative functionality in case of failure. Now, if a component has a relatively high probability for failure, it means that there is a higher chance of it not Show more…

The influence of the number of elements (and thus complexity of the system) can be illustrated on several systems where all components have the same probability of failure F1 = 0.02; the corresponding reliability R1 = 0.98. What will be the reliability of a system composed of: (a) 2 components (b) 10 components (c) 50 components (d) 200 components

In airline applications, failure of a component can result in catastrophe. As a result, many airline components utilize something called triple modular redundancy. This means that a critical component has two backup components that may be utilized should the initial component fail. Suppose a certain critical airline component has a probability of failure of 0.038 and the system that utilizes the component is part of a triple modular redundancy. (a) What is the probability that the system does not fail? (b) Engineers decide to the probability of failure is too high for this system. Use trial and error to determine the minimum number of components that should be included in the system to result in a system that has greater than a 0.99999999 probability of not failing.

5) A system has two identical components, and requires both the components for system success. If one component fails, the other cannot fail while the failed component is being repaired. The component failure rates and repair rates are 0.1 failures/year and 365 repairs/year respectively. If a similar component is carried as a spare with an average installation time of 1 hour, evaluate the probability of failure, frequency of failure and the average down time of the system.
