Question
In the figure it gives the component reliability and relationships for a particular system, with the specific probabilities given in the following table.
what is the overall system reliability?
show work
Pa = 0.91
Pb = 0.85
Pc = 0.92
Pd = 0.93
Pe = 0.87
Pf = 0.97
Pg = 0.99
Ph = 0.72
Pi = 0.87
Explanation / Answer
Reliability of Pc and Pb(parallel)
Pbc = 1 - (1-Pb)(1-Pb) = 1 - (0.08)(0.15) = 0.988
Reliability of Pd and Pe (series)
Pde= 0.93*0.87 = 0.8091
Reliability of Pbc and Pde (parallel)
Pbcde = 1 - (0.012)(0.1909) = 0.9977092
Reliability of Pg and Ph (parallel)
Pgh = 1 - (0.01)(0.28) = 0.9972
Reliability of the whole system =
reliability of Pa and Pbcde and Pf and Pgh and Pi (series) =
= 0.91 * 0.9977092 * 0.97 * 0.9972 * 0.87 = 0.7640444510399938
