A Cauchy Integral Related to a Robot-safety Device System

Vanderperre, E., Makhanov, S. (1999)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

We introduce a robot-safety device system attended by two different repairmen. The twin system is characterized by the natural feature of cold standby and by an admissible “risky” state. In order to analyse the random behaviour of the entire system (robot, safety device, repair facility) we employ a stochastic process endowed with probability measures satisfying general Hokstad-type differential equations. The solution procedure is based on the theory of sectionally holomorphic functions, characterized...

A counting process model of survival of parallel load-sharing system

Petr Volf, Aleš Linka (2001)

Kybernetika

A system composed from a set of independent and identical parallel units is considered and its resistance (survival) against an increasing load is modelled by a counting process model, in the framework of statistical survival analysis. The objective is to estimate the (nonparametrized) hazard function of the distribution of loads breaking the units of the system (i. e. their breaking strengths), to derive the large sample properties of the estimator, and to propose a goodness-of-fit test. We also...

A note on the optimal replacement policy

Antonín Lešanovský, Petr Pěnička (1983)

Aplikace matematiky

A system with a single activated unit, which can be in a finite number of states, is considered. Inspections of the system are carried out at discrete time instants. It is possible to replace it by a new one at these moments. The user of the system, by setting down conditions of replacements, wants to maximize his gain, which does not include the rest value of units. On a numerical example it is shown that the frequency of replacements of the unit need not be the greater the longer is the period...

Analysis of a two-unit standby redundant system with three states of units

Antonín Lešanovský (1982)

Aplikace matematiky

A cold-standby redundant system with two identical units and one repair facility is considered. Units can be in three states> good (I), degraded (II), and failed (III). We suppose that only the following state-transitions of a unit are possible: I I I , I I I I I , I I I , I I I I . The repair of a unit of the type I I I can be interpreted as a preventive maintenance. Its realization depends on the states of both units. Several characteristics of the system (probabilities, distribution functions or their Laplace-Stieltjes transforms...

Approximation of Reliability for a large system with non-markovian repair-times

Jean-Louis Bon, Jean Bretagnolle (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Consider a system of many components with constant failure rate and general repair rate. When all components are reliable and easily reparable, the reliability of the system can be evaluated from the probability q of failure before restoration. In [14], authors give an asymptotic approximation by monotone sequences. In the same framework, we propose, here, a bounding for q and apply it in the ageing property case.
