Reliability
Probability that a component / system , when operating under given conditions, will perform its intended functions adequately for a specific period of time. Inherent reliability Achievable reliability
Failure Rate ( )
The number of failures occurring in a unit time is known as failure. It can be calculated during a specific period for a given number of component. e.g. If there are 5 failure occurring during a period of 1000 hours to which 500 components are subjected , then FR = 5/500 * 1/1000 = 1 * 10-5 Failure/hr
e.g.
Mid Frequency (days) values, x , f fx 0-4 2 18 4-8 6 10 8-12 10 13 12-16 14 9 16-20 18 7 20-24 22 5 24-28 26 4 28-32 30 4 32-36 34 2 36-40 38 2 40-44 42 2 44-48 46 1 48-52 50 1 52-56 54 0 56-60 58 1 60-64 62 1 36 60 130 126 126 110 104 120 68 76 84 46 50 0 58 62
The mean time to failure (MTTF) m = fx/f = 1256/80= 15.7 days= 376.8 hrs The mean failure rate 1/m = 1/376.8 failure /hr.
