In today’s world, so-called “high-performance, sustainable” facilities are a dime a dozen. But many of these buildings rely on overly complex mechanical systems to carry out their mission. While these ...

The study of lifetime distribution and reliability testing seeks to characterise the statistical behaviour of time-to-failure data for components and systems across a range of applications, from ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract This paper considers an electronic system that upon failure is repaired. Only two states-the 'on' state and the 'off' state-are distinguished.

With today’s powerful computational resources, digital design is increasingly used earlier in the design cycle to predict zero-hour nominal performance and to assess reliability. The methodology ...

Mean time between failures (MTBF) may be one of the more familiar terms seen in datasheets, yet there is still a widespread misunderstanding of the term and its application. Consequently, some ...
