Abstract
An engineering component is physically inoperative when it fails or has conditions that prevent it from operating and has a functional failure. The useful or operating times and the non-operating or downtimes are collected to determine the reliability or the probability of operation of the component during a period. The use of distributions is the most accepted method for determining component reliability. Among the main distributions used are the exponential, Log Normal, Weibull, etc. The Weibull distribution is widely used to estimate the reliability of a component, understood as the physical capacity of the element to function according to operating parameters. A study of three models based on Weibull modifications was conducted to determine the reliability of repairable components subject to maintenance activities. Two models represent the modified Weibull function with two parameters and an additional model that represents the Weibull function transmuted with failure rate function that fits the Davies curve. The characteristics, the physical interpretation, the applications, and the feasibility of using each model in analysis of reliability in elements and repairable in engineering are presented.
