Afer ha, he classcal problem of cred rsk s also preseed ogeher wh a aalogy wh relably ad s show how sem-markov models are useful for hs mpora opc of face coeco wh he ew rules of he Basel Commee. CLAICAL RELIABILITY THEORY Relably heory s maly cocered wh he secury of maeral fgs. A frs dsco mus be made bewee smple ad complex srucures. For a smple srucure, s possble o defe wha s called he lfeme of he cosdered sysem, defed as he r.v. T represeg he me erval bewee me 0 ad he me of he frs falure, falure meag ha he sysem s ou. A complex sysem s composed of several smple compoes, from whch falures have a mpac, more or less mpora, o he way he sysem s workg.. Basc Coceps Le us cosder a smple srucure called he relably sysem havg r.v. T as ΩI,,P. lfeme, T beg defed o he probably space ( ) Defo. The relably fuco of s gve by he fuco U defed as U () = PT ( > ), 0,. (.) [ ) U() represes he probably ha o falure happes before. If F represes he dsrbuo fuco of T, s clear ha for all o-egave : U()= F(). (.) If he desy fuco f of T exss, we oba: U () = fudu ( ). (.3) From ow o, we always assume ha he f or he dervave of U exss. Defo. The fuco r, defed as

From basc defos of codoal probably (relao (6.4) of Chaper ) ad from relao (.), we ca successvely wre: P ( < T + d) PT ( + dt> ) = PT ( > ) f() d = U () (.5) U'( ) = d U () = rd (). Cosequely, r()d smply represes he codoal probably of havg a falure he fesmal me erval (,+d) gve ha he compoe has o falure before or a me. o, he value of he falure rae a me s a rsk measure o have suddely a falure jus afer me. By egrao, relao (.4) gves: r( u) du 0 U () = e (.6) provded ha we suppose ha U(0)=. From he las relao, s clear ha ay o-egave fuco ca be a falure rae f he followg wo codos are sasfed: - he fuco r s egrable o he posve half real le, - rudu ( ) =. (.7) 0 The mea lfeme T s jus he mea for he d.f. F. By egrao by pars, s possble o show ha T = U() d (.8) 0 ad smlarly f he varace σ exss: σ = U ( ) d (.9) 0. Classfcao Of Falure Raes The frs classfcao of falure rae ypes was gve by Barlow ad Proscha (965) wh he followg defo.

3 Relably ad cred rsk models 337 Defo.3 There are hree ypes of falure raes: () creasg falure rae ype ( shor IFR) ff, : < r( ) < r( ), (.0) () decreasg falure rae ype ( shor DFR) ff, : < r( ) > r( ), (.) () cosa falure rae ype ( shor CFR) ff, : < r( ) = r( ). (.) I he las case, le us wre r ( ) = λ ; he relao (.6) gves: λ U () = e, 0 (.3) so ha he d.f. of T s he egave expoeal dsrbuo of parameer λ (see Chaper, seco 5.5). Laer Barlow ad Procha (965) refe hs classfcao wh he followg defo. Defo.4 () A falure rae s of creasg falure rae average ( shor IFRA) ype (respecvely of decreasg falure rae average ( shor DFRA) ype) ff he fuco x x r() d, x [ 0, ) x s creasg (respecvely decreasg). 0 () A falure rae s of ew beer ha used ( shor NBU) ype (respecvely of old beer ha used ( shor OBU) ype) ff U( x+ y) ( ) U( x) U( y), x, y > 0. (.4) The meag of hese las wo ypes s smple; for he OBU ype, for example, we ca wre equaly (.3) he form: U( x+ y) U( x) (.5) U( y) or PT ( > x+ y) PT ( > x) (.6) PT ( > y) ad fally PT ( > x) PT ( > x+ yt> y), (.7) hs las relao meag ha, gve he eve {T>y}, he codoal probably of he eve {T>x+y} s always smaller ha he ucodoal probably of he same eve for y=0. I oher erms, he fac of workg up o me x always mples a wear pheomeo called agg. Le us meo ha s possble o show (Barlow ad Proscha (965)) ha he followg clusos are rue: IFR IFRA NBU, DFR DFRA OBN.

Ths s he cocep of mmal reparao. The dsrbuo fuco G of he repar me Y s called he maaably fuco ad he equvale of he falure rae he repar rae fuco oed s, so ha: G'( ) s () =, G ( ) (.3) s( u) du 0 G () = e. The effec of cosderg possble reparaos mples ha we ca ow roduce a wo-sae sysem wh as sae space { 0, }, hese wo saes represeg respecvely workg ad repar saes. Now he relably sysem ca have raso from oe sae o he oher oe: a me 0, he sysem s he operag sae or sae or up sae; a he me of he frs faluret, goes o sae 0 or dow sae for a me Y ad so o.

Theorecally, hs s gve wh he so-called srucure fuco. Le us suppose ha all he compoes of he complex srucure C are smple, so ha, for each =,,,, (operag or up sae), x = x() = (.6) 0, (faled or dow sae). The sae x of he srucure C a me, s gve by, ( up sae), x ( ) = ψ ( x ( ),, x ( )) = (.7) 0, (dow sae), where he fuco ψ :{ 0,} { 0,} (.8) s called he srucure fuco of C. Le us ow gve he followg defos. Defo.6 The complex compoe has a moooe srucure ff x y, ψ ( x,, x ) ψ ( y,, y ), =,,, ψ(0,,0) = 0, ψ(,,) =. (.9) Defo.7 A compoe (=,...,) of a complex sysem s rreleva ff he srucure fuco s cosa x ; oherwse, hs compoe s called releva. Defo.8 The complex compoe has a cohere srucure ff s moooe ad each compoe s releva. Parcular cases () A seres srucure fucos ff each compoe does. () A parallel srucure fucos f a leas oe compoe does.

For hese hree ypes of srucure, he srucure fucos are successvely gve by: () ψ ( x,..., x) = x( = m x), =,..., = () ψ ( x x) = x( = x) =,..., () ψ ( x,..., x ) (.30),..., max, (.3) =, x k, = = x < = 0, k. (.3) Remarks. () Barlow ad Proscha (965) have proved ha for ay cohere srucure, we have he uve resul x ψ ( x,..., x) x. (.33) = = () If all he compoes are depede ad f U ( =,..., ) s he relably fuco of compoe, he, we have for a seres sysem: = U () = U (), (.34) ψ for a parallel sysem: Uψ () = ( U ()), (.35) = ad for a k-ou-of sysem: Uψ ( ) = ( U ( )) ( U ( )) ( for U ( ) = U ( ), =,..., ). (.36) = k Example. Le us cosder a complex sysem for whch compoe (=,,) has a egave expoeal dsrbuo of parameer λ ( =,..., ). If he srucure s a seres srucure, follows from resul (.34) ha: λ λ = Uψ () = e e = (.37) =

8 34 Chaper 8 ad so, hs srucure has also a egave expoeal dsrbuo whose parameer λ = λ. Moreover as we have: = T =, =,...,, (.38) λ, T T = (.39) = a resul showg ha MTTF for he complex srucure s gve by he harmoc mea of he MTTF of all he compoes. If all he compoes have he same relably fuco, hs las resul gves: T T =. (.40) Example. Le us cosder he reduda srucure formed by a complex srucure composed of decal compoes parallel, all havg a egave expoeal relably fuco of parameer λ. From resul (.35), we ge: U () ( e λ ), ψ = (.4) ad so from relao (.4): λ λ ( e ) rψ () = λe, (.4) λ ( e ) provg ha here he falure rae s me depede. I s o dffcul o show ha: > rψ ( ) < λ, 0 rψ ( ) λλ ( ), (.43) λ e rψ () λ λ. λ e These las resuls show he effec of redudacy, whch adds o a smple egave expoeal compoe, supplemeary compoes parallel o mprove he relably. Ths effec s mpora a he begg ad of course s me decreasg wh me o coverge o λ. For he MTTF, we have ha: Tψ = T, (.44) k k =

TOCHATIC MODELLING IN RELIABILITY THEORY. Maeace ysems I he las subseco, resul (.34) shows ha for a seres srucure, he relably fuco s hghly decreasg wh he umber of compoes. However, f he compoes are reparable, s possble o errup he sysem momearly durg he reparao of he faled compoe ad he o reser he compoe he sysem ad so o. For such a possbly, oe ca cosruc a sochasc model (Moha e al (96)) o compue he ma dcaors gve seco.4. Le us assume ha all he compoes are depede wh egave expoeal dsrbuos, respecvely wh parameers λ,..., λ, ad ha he repar me for compoe (=,,) has a egave expoeal dsrbuo of parameer μ. All he repar mes are also depede ad of oher ad of o he workg mes of he compoes. Moreover here s o me loss o replace he repared compoes he sysem. The evoluo of he sysem ca be see as a successve sequece of workg ad repar mes. For example for =, he radom sequece ( X, Y, X, Y,..., X, Y,... ) (.) represes successvely he workg ad repar mes ad f we roduce a wosae se {0,}, so ha, a me, he sysem sae Z() s sae f s operag ad sae 0 f s uder repar, he he process (.) s a couous Markov process where he raso marx of he mbedded Markov cha s gve by: 0 0 (.) ad for whch he codoal sojour mes are gve by:

10 344 Chaper 8 0, < 0, 0: F0( ) = λ e, 0, (.3) 0, < 0, 0 : F0( ) = μ e, 0. Wh he oao of Chaper 3, we have here: b = 0 η =, b0 η0, λ = = μ (.4) ad for he saoary dsrbuo of he mbedded Markov cha: π0 = π =. (.5) We are eresed he followg wo raso probables: φ0() = P( Z() = 0 Z(0) = ), (.6) φ0() = P( Z() = Z(0) = 0). They are gve by he sysem (0.3) of Chaper 4. For =, usg Laplace rasforms, s possble o show ha λ ( λ+ μ) φ0() = ( e ), λ+ μ (.7) μ μ ( λ+ μ) φ0() = + e. λ + μ λ + μ The asympoc behavour s gve by relao (0.8) of Chaper 3, or here drecly from resul (.7), λ lm φ0( ) =, λ + μ (.8) μ lm φ0( ) =. λ + μ As here, we have: MTTF =, MTTR, λ = μ (.9) relaos (.8) ake he form MTTR lm φ0( ) =, MTTF + MTTR (.0) MTBF lm φ0( ) =.

Wh he same sem-markov approach, s possble o show ha: λ ( λ+ μ) φ ( ) = ( e ), =,...,, λ + μ ( λ+ μ) μ + λe φop () =, λ + μ (.) ( λ+ μ) λ λe φ0 ()( = φop ()) =, λ + μ λ = λ + + λ. Ad cosequely, he asympoc behavour s gve by he followg relaos: λ lm φ ( ) =, =,...,, λ + μ ( λ+ μ) μ + λe lm φop ( ) =, (.) λ + μ λ φ0 () =. λ + μ b) For he geeral sochasc model of Moha e al (96), here exss a smple form of he asympoc behavour gve by he followg expressos: λ lm φ ( ) =, =,...,, μ λ + = μ lm φop ( ) =, λ + = μ λ = μ φ0 () =. λ + μ = (.3)

The basc assumpo s ha he process Z { Z(), 0} wh { } As before he ma relably dcaors are: () The avalably fucos defed as: A() = P Z() U Z(0) =, I, ( ) ( ) A(,) s = P Z() U Z() s =, I, (.4) respecvely he homogeeous ad he o-homogeeous case. If as Chaper 3, we defe by φ j he raso probably fucos for he Z- process, for boh he cases, we ge: A() = φ (), I, j U j A(,) s = φ (,), s I. j U j (.5) If, he homogeeous case, he process s ergodc, we ca also defe he asympoc avalably as: π jη j A( ) = lm A( ) =.

Dog so, he wo cases, we ge: D R() = φj (), U, j U (.9) D R (,) s = φ (,), s U, j U where of course, boh he homogeeous ad he o-homogeeous cases, he D marx Φ gves he probables raso for he sem-markov process of D kerel Q.
