Reliability analysis and evaluation of a brake system based on competing risk

摘要

The reliability of a brake system directly affects the safety of a vehicle. Fault tree analysis is a method used to optimise the design of a brake system and reduce the probability of traffic accidents caused by brake system failure. The failure parameters of the Weibull distributions of the brake system components of a racing car are obtained through maximum likelihood estimation. A fault tree is then established according to the failure principle of the brake system. Finally, the reliability of the brake system is analysed and evaluated via fault tree analysis to provide a reference for optimising the design of the brake system.
