Concept explainers
a)
Interpretation:reliability of original design.
Concept introduction:Reliability is defined as the product's ability to perform according to the standards over time. It is basically defined as the probability that a product performs its actual function in a set time or operations.
b)
Interpretation: configuration of the proposed design.
Concept introduction:In first proposed design the series components are connected directly and parallel. in second proposed design thereliability of the series componentsis connected in parallel form, but the components relate to each other through a path.
c)
Interpretation:the best reliability.
Concept introduction:Reliability is defined as the product's ability to perform according to the standards over time. It is basically defined as the probability that a product performs its actual function in a set time or operations.

- Reliability is usually estimated in one of three ways. List and briefly describe the three general techniques by which the parallel tests may be obtained and how reliability is estimated using each technique.arrow_forwardQ- Using the system reduction procedure, calculate the reliability of the independent system as shown in the form of a Reliability Block Diagrams below (Figure Q7). Illustrate how the Reliability Block Diagrams are simplified. The reliabilities of the units are shown in the diagram.arrow_forwarda. What is product life cycle? State the stages involved in product life product. b. How should a reliability program be organized in the environment of concurrent engineeringarrow_forward
