Time-Dependent Reliability/Durability Methodologies for Acquisition, Maintenance, and Operation of Vehicle Systems

Abstract

Published studies and audits have documented that reliability has a significant impact on mission effectiveness, logistics effectiveness, and life-cycle costs. Purpose of this research is to develop methodologies to assess and improve the reliability / durability of vehicle systems, then use those methodologies in design for lifecycle cost and preventive maintenance. Random Process leads to Time-Dependent Reliability. Time-dependent reliability methodologies have been developed using math-based models.
