Optimal burn‐in procedure for periodically inspected systems

Burn‐in is a widely used method to improve the quality of products or systems after they have been produced. In this paper, we study burn‐in procedure for a system that is maintained under periodic inspection and perfect repair policy. Assuming that the underlying lifetime distribution of a system has an initially decreasing and/or eventually increasing failure rate function, we derive upper and lower bounds for the optimal burn‐in time, which maximizes the system availability. Furthermore, adopting an age replacement policy, we derive upper and lower bounds for the optimal age parameter of the replacement policy for each fixed burn‐in time and a uniform upper bound for the optimal burn‐in time given the age replacement policy. These results can be used to reduce the numerical work for determining both optimal burn‐in time and optimal replacement policy. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2007     

Modeling and analysis of a mixed‐model assembly line with stochastic operation times

We consider a mixed‐model assembly line (MMAL) comprised a set of workstations and a conveyor. The workstations are arranged in a serial configuration. The conveyor moves at a constant speed along the workstations. Initial units belonging to different models are successively fed onto the conveyor, and they are moved by the conveyor to pass through the workstations to gradually generate final products. All assembling tasks are manually performed with operation times to be stochastic. An important performance measure of MMALs is overload times that refer to uncompleted operations for operators within their work zones. This paper establishes a method to analyze the expected overload times for MMALs with stochastic operation times. The operation processes of operators form discrete time nonhomogeneous Markov processes with continuous state spaces. For a given daily production schedule, the expected overload times involve in analyzing the Markov processes for finite horizon. Based on some important properties of the performance measure, we propose an efficient approach for calculating the expected overload times. Numerical computations show that the results are very satisfactory. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2007     

三态部件的可靠性分析

并行程序运行故障原因识别

高性能计算系统的复杂性和规模的不断增长使得系统的平均无故障时间越来越短,因此系统的硬软件故障导致并行程序运行出错的概率随之增加。此外,并行程序本身可能存在的编程错误也会导致运行出错。由于处理上述两类故障原因的措施迥异,所以在程序运行出现故障时,用户需要关注故障原因的类别。针对这一问题,设计和实现了一种基于作业管理系统Slurm的并行程序运行故障原因识别系统。通过对Slurm进行扩展,监控作业状态,重提交和重运行作业。根据作业运行结果,区分故障原因类别。故障注入方式进行的实验表明,该系统具有较高的识别准确率。     

扫描电镜分析法在电动自行车火灾成因鉴定中的应用

由电动自行车引发的火灾中,电动自行车起火原因的调查是非常重要的。由于电动自行车采用各种直流电池作为电源,因而与交流电条件下的各种电气火灾调查鉴定有所不同。在直流电源条件下多股铜导线的短路熔痕的形态特征与普通交流电条件下形成短路熔痕的形态特征存在一定的差异。运用扫描电子显微镜,通过对多股铜导线在直流电条件下一次短路熔痕,过载熔断时所形成的熔断表面及熔珠进行分析研究。通过微观形态的观察,可以区分一次短路或过载熔断。
