Abstract
Abstract Bogie is a pivotal system and plays a critical part in the safety and reliability management of high speed rail. However, the available bogie system reliability analysis methods lack the consideration of multi-state characteristics, and the common multi-state reliability analysis methods, being an NP-hard problem, lead to a low efficiency. In order to overcome the mentioned drawbacks, this paper proposes a novel multi-state rail train bogie system reliability analysis approach based on the extended d-MC model. Three different function interactions within the bogie system are considered to build the multi-state bogie system flow network model. Meanwhile, an extended d-MC model is established to remove unnecessary d-MC candidates and duplicates, which greatly enhances the computing efficiency. The bogie system reliability is calculated, and the examples are provided. Numerical experiments are carried out for the different operational conditions of the bogie system and are used to testify the practicability of the method projected in this article, and is is found that the proposed method outperforms a newly developed method in solving the multi-state reliability problems.
