The k-out-of-n system with mixed redundancy is defined as k-out-of-n system which both includes warm-standby and cold-standby components. In case that operating components in the system fail and the system needs quick transition of standby components to operation state, the k-out-of-n system with mixed redundancy is useful for decreasing system failure rate and operational cost. Reliability-Redundancy Optimization Problem (RROP) involves selection of components with multiple choices and redundancy levels for maximizing system reliability with constraints such as cost, weight, etc. A solution methodology by using harmony search algorithm for RROP of the k-out-of-n system with mixed redundancy to maximize system reliability was suggested in this study.

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.

In this paper we proposed the alternative analysis of reliability design using redundancy technique. First, we presented the process for establishing the reliability design alternative analysis process considering the active redundancy and the standby redundancy. and then, the case analysis of A driving equipment was performed in accordance with the reliability design alternative analysis process presented. In case the series reliability design result is not met with the reliability target value. so, the target item for redundancy design of A driving equipment were selected as items with a severity of two or higher. The redundancy design applied with active and standby redundancy techniques were analyzed using BlockSim software. As a result, it was analyzed that reliability design to active redundancy with one of two elements required for A driving equipment is the most efficient compared to the target value of reliability. The results of this study can be usefully used before the reliability design is performed.

In the development of an underwater construction robot, the reliability of the operating system is the most important issue because of its huge maintenance cost, especially in a deep sea application. In this paper, we propose a new redundant architectural design for the hydraulic control system of an underwater construction robot. The proposed architecture consists of dual independent modular redundancy management systems linked with a commercial profibus network. A cold standby redundancy management system consisting of a preprocessing switch circuit is applied to the signal network, and a hot standby redundancy management system is adapted to utilize two main controllers.

The reliability is defined as a probability that a system will operate properly for a specified period of time under the design operating conditions without failure and it has been considered as one of the major design parameters in the field of industries. Reliability-Redundancy Optimization Problem(RROP) involves selec tion of components with multiple choices and redundancy levels for maximizing system reliability with constraints such as cost, weight, etc. However, in practice both active and cold standby redundancies may be used within a particular system design. Therefore, a redundancy strategy(active, cold standby) for each subsystem in order to maximize system reliability is considered in this study. Due to the nature of RROP, i.e. NP-hard problem, A Parallel Particle Swarm Optimization(PPSO) algorithm is proposed to solve the mathematical programming model and it gives consistently better quality solutions than existing studies for benchmark problems.

고장 방지 시스템은 하드웨어나 소프트웨어의 여분 (Redundancy)을 이용하여 신뢰도(Reliability) 및 안전도(Safety)를 향상 시킨다. 시스템의 대상 영역(application areas)에 따라 고장 마스크(fault mask), 고장검출(fault detection), 고장 확인(fault identification)등의 기법을 선택하여 이용한다. 본 연구에서는 최소의 하드웨어와 소프트웨어의 여분을 이용하는 DMR(Double Modular Redundancy) 시스템을 대기 모듈(standby module)과 Fail-safe 모듈로 동작 시킬때 신뢰도와 안전도의 특성을 비교 제시한다. 또한 자기 진단 프로그램의 과도 오류 방지 능력에 대한 시스템의 MTTF를 비교함으로서 과도 오류를 취급하는 효과적인 방법을 제시하였다.

본 논문은 철도신호에서 사용되는 이중계제어장치의 전원공급방식에 대하여 상수고장률을 기반으로 하는 평균고장률에 의한 설계와 신뢰도함수에 의한 설계방안을 제안한다. 일반적으로 시스템 운명이전에 신뢰도 요구사항 만족을 위한 시스템의 신뢰도 예측은 RBD모델을 사용하였다. 하지만 이중계제어장치와 같이 여분을 갖는 시스템의 신뢰도를 RBD와 같은 조합모델에 의해 정확한 신뢰도를 모델링하기에 부적합하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다중계구조 제어기의 설계과정에서 단순조합모델에 의한 설계방식 선정보다는 결함발생에 대한 여분구조의 모델링을 통한 설계방식 선정이 보다 정확한 신뢰도를 갖는 시스템구축을 가능하게 하며, 운영중에 발생되는 유지보수비용 및 고장으로 인한 손실비용의 효율화를 위해 필요함을 입증한다.

신뢰도란 임의 시스템이 주어진 운용환경 하에서 의도한 기간 동안 의도된 기능을 정상적으로 수행할 확률로 정의된다. 신뢰도-중복 최적화 문제(RROP)는 비용, 무게 등의 제약내에서 시스템의 신뢰도를 최대화할 수 있는 최적의 부품을 선택하고, 부품수와 중복전략(활성/대기중복)을 결정하는 문제이다. 본 연구에서는 아리랑위성 2호의 다채널광학카메라(MSC) 시스템의 설계 구조를 바탕으로 RROP의 수리모형을 제시하고, NP-hard인 RROP의 해법으로써 병렬 개체군집최적화(PPSO) 알고리즘을 제안하였다. RROP 예제의 수치실험 결과는 계획된 수명기간에서 신뢰도를 최대화하는 시스템의 설계 구조를 제시한다.

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.

Hot Standby sparing system detecting faults by using software, and being tolerant any faults by using Hardware Redundancy is difficult to perform quantitative reliability prediction and to detect real time faults. Therefore, this paper designs Hot Standby sparing system using hardware basis self checking logic in order to overcome this problem. It also performs failure mode analysis of Hot Standby sparing system with designed self checking logic by using FMEA (Failure Mode Effect Analysis), and identifies reliability assessment of the controller designed by quantifying the numbers of failure development by using FTA (Fault Tree Analysis)
