Evaluation of the Hazard of Failure of the Redundant System by Fast Simulation Methods

摘要

A redundant system consisting of repairable, unrepairable and periodically tested components is considered. None of distributions involved is supposed to be of exponential type. A method of weighted simulation enabling one to construct unbiased estimates for the hazard of failure of the system simultaneously at several points is proposed. High accuracy of estimates is demonstrated with the example of power supply system.
