State of the art in reliability allocation: a comparative study on a mechanical system
Abstract
This paper aims to present some reliability allocation methods and their application on a mechanical system. So, it enables us to point out the difficulties to use reliability allocation methods on such systems. The system studied is complex, we firstly present an approach to break it down and to model it in a serial system which is the form adapted to the methods here presented. Secondly, we present the reliability allocation method and compare the allocation results.
