System Reliability Analysis of Redundant Condition Monitoring Systems

摘要

The development and application of new reliability models and methods are presented to analyze the system relia- bility of complex condition monitoring systems.The methods include a method analyzing failure modes of a type of redundant con- dition monitoring systems (RCMS) by invoking failure tree model,Markov modeling techniques for analyzing system reliability of RCMS,and methods for estimating Markov model parameters.Furthermore,a computing case is investigated and many conclu- sions upon this case are summarized.Results show that the method proposed here is practical and valuable for designing condition monitoring systems and their maintenance.
