As the functions and structure of the system are complicated and elaborated, various types of structures are emerging to increase reliability in order to cope with a system requiring higher reliability. Among these, standby systems with standby components for each major component are mainly used in aircraft or power plants requiring high reliability. In this study, we consider a standby system with a multi-functional standby component in which one standby component simultaneously performs the functions of several major components. The structure of a parallel system with multifunctional standby components can also be seen in real aircraft hydraulic pump systems and is very efficient in terms of weight, space, and cost as compared to a basic standby system. All components of the system have complete operation, complete failure, only two states, and the system has multiple states depending on the state of the component. At this time, the multi-functional standby component is assumed to be in a non-operating standby state (Cold Standby) when the main component fails. In addition, the failure rate of each part follows the Weibull distribution which can be expressed as increasing type, constant type, and decreasing type according to the shape parameter. If the Weibull distribution is used, it can be applied to various environments in a realistic manner compared to the exponential distribution that can be reflected only when the failure rate is constant. In this paper, Markov chain analysis method is applied to evaluate the reliability of multi-functional multi-state standby system. In order to verify the validity of the reliability, a graph was generated by applying arbitrary shape parameters and scale parameter values through Excel. In order to analyze the effect of multi-functional multi-state standby system using Weibull distribution, we compared the reliability based on the most basic parallel system and the standby system.

중복시스템의 일반적인 구조는 기능을 수행하는 주요부품과 주요부품이 고장 나는 경우에 그 기능을 대신 수행하는 대기부품으로 구성되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 하나의 대기부품이 여러 개의 주요부품의 기능을 동시에 대신 수행할 수 있는 다기능 대기부품을 갖는 병렬시스템을 고려한다. 이 시스템을 구성하고 있는 모든 부품들은 작동상태와 고장상태만 갖는 반면 시스템은 구성 부품들의 상태에 따라 다중 상태를 갖는 것을 가정한다. 이러한 중복구조는 항공기와 같이 시스템의 중량이 중요한 요소인 시스템에서 많이 채택되고 있는 구조이다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 중복시스템의 신뢰도를 평가하기 위한 새로운 신뢰도모델링 기법을 제안하고 부품들이 상수고장률을 갖는 경우 마코프 분석 방법을 적용하여 시스템의 신뢰도를 구한다. 또한 본 연구에서 고려하고 있는 시스템과 기존에 이미 알려진 병렬시스템과 중복구조를 갖는 병렬시스템의 신뢰도를 비교하여 다기능 대기부품의 효과를 분석한다.

We analyse reliability of multi-state UH-60 helicopter hydraulic pump system with a multi-functional standby component using Markov analysis method. The system consists of seven components: 2 main pumps, 1 standby pump, 2 primary servos, and 2 tail rotor servos. The standby pump can take over when one more than components fail. Therefore the standby pump is multi-functional standby component. The system has four states: good, deteriorated, dangerous, and failed. The components have 2 states: working and failed. We assume the system is unrepairable when the components fail. We estimate failure distributions and rates using collected failure time data in field. And we classify multi-state of the system according to emergency procedure of UH-60A student handout. We obtain the reliabilities of multi-state system using Visual Basic program because the differential equations is extremely complicated and tedious to solve.

There are various notions of partial ordering between life-times of systems; stochastic ordering failure rate ordering and likeli-hood ration ordering. In this paper we show that for series systems with non i.i.d. exponential lifetimes of components standby redundancy at component level is better than that at system level in failure rate or-dering and likelihood ratio ordering. We also demonstrate that for 2-component parallel systems with i.i.d. exponential lifetimes of com-ponents standby system redundancy is better than standby component redundancy in failure rate ordering and likelihood ratio ordering.

A k-out-of-n standby system is considered where all of its components are s-independent and classified either working or cold standby connected with imperfect switches. The probability density function of the life length for this system is established in closed form, when the underlying components have constant failure rates. Also the reliability function of the system is derived. Finally, the reliability functions for one, two and three out of four systems are deduced for perfect or imperfect switches and identical or non-identical constant failure rates for working and standby components.

We consider a preventive replacement policy for a cold-standby system with N components, in which only one component is in operation at a time. If the component in operation fails, a standby component is immediately switched into operation. If all components fail, the system fails. The system is inspected at random poins in time to determine whether it is to be replaced or not. If the number of failed components at the time of inspection exceeds a threshold value r, the system is replaced. Otherwise the decision is put off until the next inspection point arrives. Under the cost structure which includes a replacement cost, a system down-time cost and a holding cost of the components, we develop an efficient procedure to find the optimal control values N and r, which minimize the expected cost per unit time.

This paper proposes a safety-critical standby component unavailability model that contains aging effects caused by the elapsed time from installation, component degradation due to surveillance tests, and imperfect maintenance actions. An application of the model to a Motor-Operated Valve and a Motor-Driven Pump involved in the HPIS of a VVER/1000-V446 nuclear power plant is demonstrated and compared with other existing models at component and system levels. In addition, the effects of different unavailability models are reflected in the NPP's risk criterion, i.e., core damage frequency, over five maintenance periods. The results show that, compared with other models that do not simultaneously consider the full effects of degradation and maintenance impacts, the proposed model realistically evaluates the unavailabilities of the safety-related components and the involved systems as a plant age function. Therefore, it can effectively reflect the age-dependent CDF impact of a given testing and maintenance policy in a specified time horizon.

The increasing level of operation in high-tech industry is likely to require ever more complex structure in reliability problem. Furthermore, system failures are more significant on society as a whole than ever before. Reliability redundancy optimization problem (RROP) plays a important role in the designing and analyzing the complex system. RROP involves selection of components with multiple choices and redundancy levels for maximizing system reliability with constraints such as cost, weight, etc. Meanwhile, previous works on RROP dealt with system with perfect failure detection, which gave at most a good solution. However, we studied RROP with imperfect failure detection and switching. Using absorbing Markov Chain, we present not a good solution but the optimal one. In this study, the optimal system configuration is designed with warm and cold-standby redundancy for k-out-of-n system in terms of MTTF that is one of the performance measures of reliability.

Recently, interest in the precast concrete (PC) construction method has been increasing. The PC construction process consists of i) design, ii) production, iii) transportation, and iv) installation. A PC field manager at the site submits a shipment request form to the factory one to three days before the installation of the PC component. Numerous matters should be considered in writing a shipment request form. Incorrect shipment request forms may cause standby resources, waste of resources, premature work conclusion, or excessive work. These issues can lead to an increase in construction costs, replanning of PC component installation, or rework. In order to prevent such problems, PC component installation should be simulated based on the shipment request form. Accordingly, this study aims to identify factors influencing the operability of shipment request forms for PC construction. To this end, this study derived factors influencing i) initiation of the activity, ii) addition or deletion of activities, and iii) an increase or decrease in the activity execution time. As a result, this study identified flow, the features of PC components, condition of PC components, unloading location, installation location, input equipment and labor, number of anchors, number of supports, weather, strike, and accident. Further studies should verify the factors derived in this study based on focus group interviews.
