Monte Carlo Reliability Analysis.

Abstract

The work carried out during the 1984/85 contract year is divided into two parts. First, three classes of component dependency models have been successfully incorporated into the Markov Monte Carlo formulation: standby systems, shared load systems and shared repair crews. These models have been implemented in a computer code and used for the analysis of a number of complex systems. Second, the investigation of the Monte Carlo simulation of time-dependent failure was begun. Two different sampling techniques were formulated, and evaluation is continuing into the 1985/86 contract period. (Author)
