Tutorial No 8

The document outlines a tutorial for a Reliability Analysis course at G.B. Pant Institute of Engineering & Technology, focusing on continuous Markov processes. It includes several questions requiring calculations of limiting probabilities, availability, MTTF, and constructing state space diagrams based on given transition rates and system conditions. The tutorial emphasizes the analysis of both repairable and non-repairable systems with specific component failure and repair rates.

TUTORIAL – 8
Q 1) The state space diagram and transition rates in f/hr of a continuous Markov process is shown in
Figure 1. Calculate:
(a) The limiting probabilities of each state.
(b) The availability of the system.
(c) The MITF for the following system operating conditions;
(1) state 1 is the normally up state, state 2 is a standby state and state 3 is the failure state; and
(2) state 1 is the operating state and states 2 and 3 are failure states.

Q 2) The following stochastic transitional probability matrix P shows the transition rates in per hour of a
continuous Markov process.
(a) Construct the state space diagram and discuss particular features of it.
(b) Evaluate the MTTF given that the system starts in state 1.
(c) Derive the differential equations for the system.
0.90 0.05 0.05
𝐏= 0 0.95 0.05
0 0 1
Q 3) A mission oriented system consists of 3 non-identical, non-repairable components, two of which
must operate for system success. If the failure rates are 0.01f/106hr, 0.05f/106hr and 0.1f/106hr, construct
the stochastic transitional probability matrix and hence evaluate the MTTF of the system.
Q 4) A repairable system consists of three non-identical components A, Band C, all of which must work
for system success. When one component fails, no further component failures can occur. Construct the
relevant state space diagram and hence evaluate general expressions for the individual limiting state
probabilities in terms of component failure and repair rates. Evaluate the unavailability of the system in
hr/yr if the three components have the following reliability data:
Component Failure rate (f/yr) Repair rate (r/yr)
A 1.0 365
B 0.1 12
C 0.5 52
Q 5) A continuously operated/repairable system consists of four identical components each having an
MTTF of 5000 hr and an MTTR of 25 hr. At least three of the components must work for system success.
Construct a state space diagram of the system and calculate the MTTF of the system assuming it starts in
the state in which all components are operating. Compare this value with that if all components must work
for system success.
