摘要

In recent years, there has been a growing focus on high-reliability products in industrial and military fields. Storage plays a crucial role in these products, and as a result, research on storage reliability has gained more attention. This paper specifically targets a class of products with complex structures that require long-term storage, regular testing, and maintenance. Firstly, an expression method for system availability is provided based on the reliability structure of the system and the maintenance situation of the constituent equipment in storage. Since the expression of system availability is typically complex and difficult to compute, and the storage life of the system cannot be represented as an explicit function of the reliability indicators of the constituent equipment, it is challenging to evaluate the availability and storage life of repairable systems. To address this, the paper proposes a comprehensive evaluation methodology for assessing the storage reliability of complex repairable systems based on fiducial inference. This approach is employed to derive point estimates and determine the lower fiducial limits for both system availability and storage life. Furthermore, simulation results demonstrate that this comprehensive evaluation method for storage reliability of complex repairable systems is not only convenient but also highly effective.

Abstract

In recent years, there has been a growing focus on high-reliability products in industrial and military fields. Storage plays a crucial role in these products, and as a result, research on storage reliability has gained more attention. This paper specifically targets a class of products with complex structures that require long-term storage, regular testing, and maintenance. Firstly, an expression method for system availability is provided based on the reliability structure of the system and the maintenance situation of the constituent equipment in storage. Since the expression of system availability is typically complex and difficult to compute, and the storage life of the system cannot be represented as an explicit function of the reliability indicators of the constituent equipment, it is challenging to evaluate the availability and storage life of repairable systems. To address this, the paper proposes a comprehensive evaluation methodology for assessing the storage reliability of complex repairable systems based on fiducial inference. This approach is employed to derive point estimates and determine the lower fiducial limits for both system availability and storage life. Furthermore, simulation results demonstrate that this comprehensive evaluation method for storage reliability of complex repairable systems is not only convenient but also highly effective.
