In this paper, we develop a hierarchical Bayesian reliability model that account for unexpected failures. For this, the sample space of all failures is broken down into subspaces of expected failures and unexpected failures. The overall reliability is, then, derived based on the total probability theorem. A Bayesian network model is developed to explicitly compute the probability of unexpected failures. A single board computer reliability analysis is considered and the results show that neglecting unexpected failures overestimates the reliability.","PeriodicalId":161789,"journal":{"name":"2017 2nd International Conference on System Reliability and Safety (ICSRS)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116834604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The implementation of autonomous ship (AS) in the maritime industry, might be considered as a future alternative to reduce these human errors. However, this type of ship will create new vulnerabilities and paths to failure even as it provides benefits on other scores. When the AS is in the port, a maintenance staff embarks on board, to carry out the scheduled routine maintenance or requested repairs. Mistakes made by the maintenance staff may have fatal consequences on the safety of the AS. The wrong way of sea chest strainer cleanness is one of the causals that has contributed to several engine room water ingresses, causing a complete damage of the engine room equipment of many conventional ships. In this paper, we analyze and model this event sequence from a human perspective. Technical methodologies i.e. human reliability analysis (HRA) event tree is used for the identification of the vulnerabilities of the task procedure and the technique for human error rate prediction (THERP) is used for the quantification of these human errors probability. Based on this analysis, error barriers and error recovery mechanisms are proposed to prevent its consequences.","PeriodicalId":161789,"journal":{"name":"2017 2nd International Conference on System Reliability and Safety (ICSRS)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123286064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We focus on a two-core system in which, when one of the cores fails, the other can take care of all the systems' tasks. However, this results in an increased operational temperature that leads to a reduced lifetime. We first discuss the epistemic uncertainty distribution that we expect when we estimate the scale parameter of a Weibull distribution from a limited set of samples. We then extend the procedure to consider the epistemic uncertainty in the two core system-on-chip when we can measure the failure times of the first and of the second core.","PeriodicalId":161789,"journal":{"name":"2017 2nd International Conference on System Reliability and Safety (ICSRS)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127031536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the RET data which may contain abundant information of products are obtained in complex stress environment with a duration of test time. Thus, an accelerated-compensated degradation modeling method is proposed to describe the feature of RET data which are collected under temperature step stress and vibration constant stress. The model proposed is validated by using the reliability enhancement test data of a certain type of servo system. For the small sample problem, the parameter bootstrap method is used to verify the model validity. Using the enhancement test data to carry out degradation modeling, not only makes full use of data mining information, but also lays the foundation for the subsequent product reliability assessment, shortens the development time and saves the cost of degradation test.","PeriodicalId":161789,"journal":{"name":"2017 2nd International Conference on System Reliability and Safety (ICSRS)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127904331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we consider clustering of failures in redundant systems due to parallel type of carryover effects, in which the event intensity of a recurrent event process is temporarily increased after event occurrences in other processes. Our main goal is to develop formal test procedures for the assessment of such effects in redundant systems with repairable components connected in parallel and subject to recurrent failures. We develop partial score tests for testing the presence of parallel carryover effects in recurrent event settings. Asymptotic properties of the test statistics are discussed analytically as well as through simulations. A simulated data set including failure times of diesel power generators operating in remote and isolated communities is analyzed to illustrate the methods developed.","PeriodicalId":161789,"journal":{"name":"2017 2nd International Conference on System Reliability and Safety (ICSRS)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124851936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
