Dynamic signatures and their use in comparing the reliability of new and used systems

The signature of a system with independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) component lifetimes is a vector whose ith element is the probability that the ith component failure is fatal to the system. System signatures have been found to be quite useful tools in the study and comparison of engineered systems. In this article, the theory of system signatures is extended to versions of signatures applicable in dynamic reliability settings. It is shown that, when a working used system is inspected at time t and it is noted that precisely k failures have occurred, the vector s [0,1]^n‐k whose jth element is the probability that the (k + j)th component failure is fatal to the system, for j = 1,2,2026;,n ‐ k, is a distribution‐free measure of the design of the residual system. Next, known representation and preservation theorems for system signatures are generalized to dynamic versions. Two additional applications of dynamic signatures are studied in detail. The well‐known “new better than used” (NBU) property of aging systems is extended to a uniform (UNBU) version, which compares systems when new and when used, conditional on the known number of failures. Sufficient conditions are given for a system to have the UNBU property. The application of dynamic signatures to the engineering practice of “burn‐in” is also treated. Specifically, we consider the comparison of new systems with working used systems burned‐in to a given ordered component failure time. In a reliability economics framework, we illustrate how one might compare a new system to one successfully burned‐in to the kth component failure, and we identify circumstances in which burn‐in is inferior (or is superior) to the fielding of a new system. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

基于输入特性分析的光电跟踪内模控制设计

内模控制是一种基于对象教学模型进行控制器设计的新型控制策略,其设计思路是将对象模型与实际对象相并联,控制器逼近模型的动态逆.根据内模控制原理及光电跟踪系统参考输入及扰动输入特性,设计了一种新型位置控制器.并分析了IMC跟踪控制器的零稳念偏差及抗干扰性能.从仿真结果看,与常规PID控制相比,内模控制器参数调整简单、跟踪性能良好.特别是在针对目标突然机动的情况下.IMC控制器具有良好的稳态误差重构能力,即能迅速收敛到稳态误差.根据仿真结果数据统计,系统跟踪误差的均方根可减小到0.5 tarad,表明该控制器能够提高系统的跟踪精度,为高性能光电跟踪系统提供了一种新的控制策略.
