The Robustness of Reliability Predictions For Parallel Systems of Identical Components

The robustness of reliability predictions based on the exponential failure law is investigated under possible deviations within the Weibull family of failure distributions. Regions of robustness are provided for parallel systems of N identical components, N = 1(1)15; i.e., regions in the space of th...

Zusammenfassung:The robustness of reliability predictions based on the exponential failure law is investigated under possible deviations within the Weibull family of failure distributions. Regions of robustness are provided for parallel systems of N identical components, N = 1(1)15; i.e., regions in the space of the Weibull shape parameter, within which one may safely use the exponential prediction procedure and have no more than a prespecified error.
