Parallel Systems Redundant system – failure of one component does not lead to failure of the entire system The system will remain operational if at least one of the parallel elements is functioning correctly Reliability of the parallel system is determined by considering first probability of failure (unreliability) of an individual component and then the overall system: N∏ R(t) = 1 − (1 − R i (t)) i=1
Series-Parallel Combinations The most common in practice. Any systems may be simplified, i.e., reduced to a single component A series-parallel arrangement: (a) The original arrangement (b) The result of combining parallel modules (c) The result of combining the series modules The overall reliability of the system is represented by that of module 13
