Some comparisons of residual life of coherent systems with exchangeable components

Most of the research, on the study of the reliability properties of technical systems, assume that the components of the system operate independently. However, in real life situation, it is more reasonable to assume that there is dependency among the components of the system. In this article, we give sufficient conditions based on the signature and the joint distribution of component lifetimes to obtain stochastic ordering results for coherent and mixed systems with exchangeable components. Some stochastic orders on dynamic (or conditional) signature of coherent systems are also provided. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics 61: 549–556, 2014     

Warranty costs: An age‐dependent failure/repair model

An age‐dependent repair model is proposed. The notion of the “calendar age” of the product and the degree of repair are used to define the virtual age of the product. The virtual failure rate function and the virtual hazard function related to the lifetime of the product are discussed. Under a nonhomogeneous Poisson process scenario the expected warranty costs for repairable products associated with linear pro‐rata, nonrenewing free replacement and renewing free replacement warranties are evaluated. Illustration of the results is given by numerical and graphical examples. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2004.     

A general approach to the shape of failure rate and MRL functions

Failure rate and mean residual life are two important characteristics for studying reliability of products. In literature, some work studied the shape of failure rate function based on the knowledge of the associated probability density function; some other work investigated the shape of mean residual life function based on the shape of the associated failure rate function separately for continuous case and discrete case. In this article, a general approach is developed which can be applied to the aforementioned studies. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2004     

基于能量度量的星载AIS信号自适应码元同步抽取算法

基带信号码元同步抽取是目前星载AIS(Automatic Identification System)信号处理中的一个难点问题,针对过零检测和迟门早门等现有算法存在的不足,提出了基于能量度量的基带信号自适应码元同步抽取算法。将基带信号根据采样率和码速率的比值分割成相同的段的组合,之后分别计算每个段内相应样点的能量度量,最后选择使能量度量最大时的样点集作为最优同步抽取样点,该样点集具有最大信噪比。仿真结果验证了该算法误码率优于过零检测和迟门早门算法。

一种改进的跳频信号信道化检测方法

在通信对抗中,对目标跳频信号进行有效检测是对该信号进行后续处理及实施干扰的前提,利用信道化检测方法实现对跳频信号的盲检测。侦察方作为通信非协作接收者,无法与目标信号发送端实现时间同步,导致信道化检测方法性能不佳,针对此问题,提出一种简单高效的判决门限改进算法。仿真结果表明:采用改进算法,虚警概率显著降低,在信噪比大于-2 dB时检测概率有一定的提高。最后给出了关于进一步提高信道化检测方法性能的几点策略。

如何估计软件的MTBF

软件剩余初始故障个数No、平均无故障时间MTBF、故障暴露率λ和软件运行的成功率θ等是衡量软件可靠性的重要参数.其中对高可靠性软件(包括军用软件等)MTBF是最重要的.传统的MTBF计算方法有2种一是计算发生故障的平均时间间隔二是通过软件可靠性模型进行估计.前者代价较大,后者不太准确.本文从软件的失败率入手研究软件的MTBF,这是一个比较贴近实际的方法.

Optimal (τ, T) opportunistic maintenance of a k‐out‐of‐n:G system with imperfect PM and partial failure

The opportunistic maintenance of a k‐out‐of‐n:G system with imperfect preventive maintenance (PM) is studied in this paper, where partial failure is allowed. In many applications, the optimal maintenance actions for one component often depend on the states of the other components and system reliability requirements. Two new (τ, T) opportunistic maintenance models with the consideration of reliability requirements are proposed. In these two models, only minimal repairs are performed on failed components before time τ and the corrective maintenance (CM) of all failed components are combined with PM of all functioning but deteriorated components after τ; if the system survives to time T without perfect maintenance, it will be subject to PM at time T. Considering maintenance time, asymptotic system cost rate and availability are derived. The results obtained generalize and unify some previous research in this area. Application to aircraft engine maintenance is presented. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons;, Inc. Naval Research Logistics 47: 223–239, 2000
