The validation system for reliability and survivability of unique mechanical systems

Abstract

We propose a concept of the validation system for the properties of reliability and survivability of unique mechanical systems, the failures of which can result in accidents. The system is based on the principles of self-organization and provides the opportunity to consider off-design impacts of any origin, errors in design and operation based on the use of appropriate rules formulated by experts. The principles of self-organization are implemented by a mechanism based on the rules that step-by-step formulate the necessary tasks, the required expert systems and computing units to solve them, as well as on the rules directly linking negative factors and neutralizing their properties.
