1. UNENE 4-4 S1 Chapter 4 -- Probability, Lecture 4Reliability of Simple Systems Use reliability block diagrams (with “system operation” indicated by successful transmission of a signal from input to output of a system.
Examine various methods for determining the overall system’s reliability - decomposition method, signal flow graphs, and cut- sets
Finally, we will do a quick study of M-out-of-N systems used to obtain very high reliability, such as in CANDU shutdown systems.
2. UNENE 4-4 S2 Series and Active-Parallel Units First, consider independent units. For two units in series, Axiom #3 (product rule) applies: For two units in parallel, the rule of union applies:
