Reliability Assessment for Systems Subject to Maintenance and Repair.

Abstract

This report discusses the research accomplishments achieved since the interim report of September 1986. The main thrust of the research performed under the grant is the development of methodology to deal with more realistic models for the quantitative reliability assessment and analysis fo complex systems. This methodology is potentially applicable to the programs of the U.S. Air Force in particular and the Department of Defense in general. In addition the results obtained are of value in a variety of other applied areas, and in probability and statistical theory. Contents: 1) Error Bounds for Exponential Approximations of Geometric Convolutions; 2) Identifying Coefficients in the Spectral Representation for First Passage Time Distribution; 3) Age-Weighted Distribution; and 4) Partial Ordering of Distributions.
