Reliability Evaluation of Radar Power Amplifier System in Case of Related Competing Failures
Since it is difficult to obtain adequate performance distribution information of highly reliable components in case of related competing failures and system reliability problems cannot be accurately estimated
the multi-state system reliability evaluation method in consideration of epistemic uncertainty was proposed in case of related competing failures.Firstly
the components' sudden failure thresholds were assumed as a decreasing random process to represent the correlation between accumulative degradation and sudden failure.Secondly
in order to reduce the impact on the epistemic uncertainty of components
the components' performance distribution model based on interval variables was built on the assumption that the components' performance damage distribution parameter and sudden failure parameter caused by random shocks are interval variables.Thirdly
the traditional general generating function method was improved and the definition of general generating function and its algorithm were proposed.Finally
the reliability of the power amplifier of a radar system was analyzed.With simple and clear procedures
this method not only avoids the components' complex failure mode and less status information
but also features great universality and high engineering application value.
