Reliability Analysis of Industrial Model Using Redundancy Technique and Geometric Distribution

Abstract

The present paper is an initiative towards analyzing the maintenance process of an industrial model using regenerative techniques. With an increase in demands to analyze the reliability of any industrial models following continuous or discrete distribution, the major concern to be considered inspect the possibility and level of failure and proceeding the failed unit for further repairing process. The system consists of two parallel units following the passive standby redundancy and with different failure mechanism. The proposed analytical methodology in the paper made it possible to assess the reliability of the whole system in the event of failure of its components. The stochastic analysis of reliability characteristics of the considered system to the types of repair time distributions was also studied using geometric distribution. The numerical equations and results being calculated for reliability parameters like mean time to system failure, availability of system in operative form, down period of the system following repair mechanism, using regenerative techniques, and geometric distribution. Graphical and analytical analysis were presented.
