Computer Simulation in Reliability

Abstract

The troublesome problems of calculating a realistic lower confidence limit for systems reliability from component results and writing algebraic probability expressions for complex systems have been investigated. Practical Monte Carlo procedures for routine use of high speed computers are described. Iterative procedures are explained which can: a. Save time in calculating the lower confidence limits of complex systems. b. Obtain point estimates of complex systems from Boolean expressions when the writing of algebraic equations is too difficult.
