2 outline definition of system; classification and representation; two state ; cut and link sets; system reliability; bounds for system probability of failure; multivariate cumulative distribution. 2

4 system classification and representation components: single, two, multi states. e.g. working/not working e.g. working at 0%, 25%, 50%... : single, two, multi states. representation: block diagram C 1 C 3 C 6 C 9 fault trees, event trees source C 5 C 2 C 4 C 7 C 10 sink C 8 vs event trees.html 4

5 two state system with two state components: example component state C i 1 component works 0 component fails convention is opposite respect to component analysis. C 1 C 3 C 6 C 9 source C 5 sink C 2 C 4 C 7 C 10 C 8 system state 1 system works 0 system fails 5

6 two state system with two state components vector of component state systemcomponents relation Boolean variable 2 2 number of components for components, there are 2 possible relations. coherent system: is non decreasing in. That is, if goes safe, it cannot degrade system operation. C 1 C 2 C 3 a states of components a a series a s parallel a s coherent a s non coherent a s C 1 C 2 C 3 C 1 C C 3 6

7 famous series system: C 1 C 2 C n min,,, or parallel system: max,,, C 1 or C k out of n system: true 1 indicator: false 0 C n 1: parallel system : series system 7

8 general system: cut and link sets example: C 2 C 1 C 3 C 4 cut set: a set of components whose joint failure implies failure of the system. E.g. C 1,2,3,4. minimum cut set: a cut set with no extra component : C 1,4 and C 2,3,4. link set: a set of components whose joint survival implies survival of the system. E.g. C 1,4. minimum link set: a link set with no extra component : C 1,2, C 1,3 and C 4. Algorithms are available for identifying cut sets and link sets. C 2,3, C 2,4 and C 3,4 are NOT cut sets C 1 and C 2 are NOT link sets 8

9 min cut set representation example: C 1 C 2 C 3 C 4 function relation for cut set 1 1 C 2 C 1 C 4 C 3 C 4 2 cut sets a system can be seen a series of its cut sets

10 min link set representation example: C 1 C 2 C C 4 function relation for link set C 1 C 1 C 2 C 3 3 link sets C 4 a system can be seen a parallel system of its link sets

11 component and system reliability component: probability of failure: P 0 1 reliability: 1 P 1 1 P 1 0 P 0 P 1 system: probability of failure: P 0 1 reliability: 1 P 1 11

17 two component series system equally reliable components: C 1 C 2 30% 1 70% independent failures identical failures positive correlation 1 0 ; opposite failures negative correlation % 17

18 limit cases for a two component series system equally reliable components: C 1 C 2 30% system failure 1 70% independent failures identical failures positive correlation 1 0 ; 1 51% 30% opposite failures negative correlation % 30% 70% % For series system, positive correlation decrease the probability of failure. 18

19 limit cases for a two component parallel system C 1 equally reliable components: 30% 170% system failure C independent failures identical failures positive correlation 1 0 ; 9% 30% opposite failures negative correlation % 0% For parallel system, positive correlation increase the probability of failure. 19

20 bounds for series two failure events (mechanisms):,0,,,, 0,min, max, min,1 many failure events (mechanisms): 1,2,, max min when the joint probability for each pair of events,, is known, you can use Ditlevsen s bounds (see Sørensen, J.D. (2004) "Notes in Structural Reliability Theory And Risk Analysis"). three failure events (mechanisms):,1,,,,, Ditlevsen s bounds require second order probability ( ) and define max and min values for higher order probability (e.g. third order: ). 20

21 bounds for parallel two failure events (mechanisms):,0,,,, 0,min, 0 min, many failure events (mechanisms): 1,2,, 0 min second order bounds are also available (see Sørensen, J.D. (2004) "Notes in Structural Reliability Theory And Risk Analysis"). 21

22 system reliability problem limit state functions,, 0 standard normal space component fails mechanism active the system components relation defines the failure of the system, depending on the failures of the components. 22

23 system reliability problem: series system Ω in a series system, the system fails if at least one component fails. failure domain: Ω standard normal space

24 system reliability problem: parallel system Ω in a series system, the system fails if at least one component fails. failure domain: Ω 0, 0, 0 0 standard normal space

25 system reliability problem: general system Ω e.g. failure domain: Ω 0, standard normal space C 1 C 3 C 2 25

26 approaches for system reliability problem Ω Monte Carlo Uniform Sampling: it can be easily implemented, it provides an unbiased estimate. Monte Carlo Important Sampling: it is not easy to find an appropriate proposal distribution. 0 standard normal space FORM: the design point (defined as the failure closest to the origin) may be not differentiable no linear approximation. Newton s method may not work. In any case, linear approximation may be not accurate. 26
