3. System reliability
Objectives
• Learn the definitions of a component and a system from a reliability perspective
• Be able to calculate reliability of series, parallel and complex systems given the reliabilities of their components

Definition of components and systems
• Component: One failure mode, one performance function
• System reliability: multiple failure modes, multiple performance functions
• Block diagram: Shows effect of the failures of the components on the failure of the system

Series systemCalculation of reliability
• System fails if any one of its components fails

Parallel system: calculation of reliability
• System survives if one component survives

Generic approach for reliability analysis of complex systems
• List all possible modes
• Break down the event “system failure” into disjoint events
• Calculate the failure probabilities of these events
• System failure probability equals the sum of probabilities of the above events.
