Mechanical system reliability analysis using a combination of graph theory and Boolean function

摘要: Abstract A new method based on graph theory and Boolean function for assessing reliability of mechanical systems is proposed. The procedure this approach consists two parts. By using the theory, formula a system that considers interrelations subsystems or components generated. Use to examine failure interactions particular elements system, followed with demonstrations how incorporate such dependencies into analysis larger systems, constructive algorithm quantifying genuine interconnections between provided. combination provides an effective way evaluate large, complex system. numerical example demonstrates approaches in analysis.
