PROBABILITY THEORY AS APPLIED TO RELIABLE NETWORK DESIGN

Abstract

The probability of success equations for redundant networks are derived from basic component failure statistics. The components have two modes of failure open or short. The report calculates the equations for four basic redundant networks. A network is then designed based upon these results. The reliability of this network is calculated and compared to several other designs. Publication of this technical documentary report does not constitute Air Force approval of the report's findings or conclusions. it is published only for the exchange and stimulation of ideas.
