RELIABILITY OF ANALYSIS OF CIRCUIT ELEMENTS BY THE REDUNDANCY METHOD,
Abstract
The effectiveness of using the redundancy method to increase the reliability of circuit elements is analyzed, taking into account the possibilities of short-circuit and open-circuit failures. Formulas and curves of reliability gain under various conditions are derived from the analysis of circuit elements of both switching and nonswitching types. The effects of failures of some of the basic elements within redundancy elements in changing the loading of other elements have also been considered. Some discussion is devoted to the average life of the redundancy element, indicating that the redundancy method is particularly suitable for long-term operation or self-adapting systems. Some design considerations for practical applications are discussed in substantial detail with illustrations. (Author)
