Required conditions:- number of trials (n) must be known - all trials are independent- each trial results in either a success (p) or failure (q) i.e. p + q = 1- values for p and q are constant for each trial
Probability of exactly r failures (and n-r successes),
Pr = nCr p(n-r) qr

Moments of Binomial Distribution:
Expected # of successes, E(x) = n.pwhere,n = # of trials or samplesp = probability of successq = probability of failure
Std. Deviation, σ(x) = √ n.p.q
Example
A product is claimed to be 90% free of defects. What is the expected value and standard deviation of the number of defects in a sample of 4?
Here, n = 4p(defect) = 0.1
E(defects) = n.p= 4 x 0.1 = 0.4
σ(defects) = √ npq
= √ 4 x 0.1 x 0.9 = 0.6
Binomial Distribution Application
Binomial Distribution can be used to determine the probability of all possible outcomes in a system. Only a restricted number of outcomes (and their probabilities) are usually of interest in engineering applications, e.g. outcomes that lead to system failure.
Example:It is known that, in a certain manufacturing process, 1% of the products are defective. If the a customer purchases 50 of these products selected at random, what is the probability that he receives 2 or less defective products?
n = 50p(defect) = 0.01 p(no defect) = 1 – 0.01 = 0.99
P(2 or less defects) = 0.0756 + 0.3056 + 0.6050 = 0.9862
P(2 defective) = 50C2 (0.01) 2 (0.99) 48 = 0.0756P(1 defective) = 50C1 (0.01) 1 (0.99) 49 = 0.3056P(0 defective) = 50C0 (0.01) 0 (0.99) 50 = 0.6050
Mutually exclusive events
Example: The manufacturing company has a policy of replacing, free-of-charge, all defective products that are purchased. If the product manufacturing cost is $10 per unit and each product is sold for $15, how much profit is made?
p(defect) = 0.01For 1000 products, n = 1000Expected # of defects, E(defects) = n.p = 10
Therefore, 1010 products must be manufactured to sell 1000 products.
Manufacturing cost = $10 x 1010 = $10,100Income = $15 x 1000 = $15,000
Profit = $15,000 - $10,100 = $4900Profit per unit = $4900/1000 = $4.90
Example:
If the company decides to increase the manufacturing cost to $10.05 per unit in order to decrease the probability of defects to 0.1%,
p(defect) = 0.001For 1000 products, n = 1000Expected # of defects, E(defects) = n.p = 1
Therefore, 1001 products must be manufactured to sell 1000 products.
Manufacturing cost = $10.05 x 1001 = $10,060.05Income = $15 x 1000 = $15,000
Profit = $15,000 - $10,060.05 = $4939.95Profit per unit = $4939.95/1000 = $4.94
Effect of Redundancy Consider a system consisting of 4 identical components, each having a failure probability of 0.1.
q = 0.1 (p = 0.9) n = 4 (p+q)4 = p4 + 4p3q + 6p2q2 + 4pq3 + q4
System state Individual probability all components working p4 = (0.9) 4 = 0.6561
3 working, 1 failed 4p3q = 4(0.9) 3 (0.1) = 0.2916
2 working, 2 failed 6p2q2 = 6(0.9) 2 (0.1) 2 = 0.0486
1 working, 3 failed 4pq3 = 4(0.9)( 0.1) 3 = 0.0036
all components failed q4 = (0.1) 4 = 0.0001
= 1
Consider 4 criteria
System reliability, R
all components required for success (no redundancy)
0.6561
3 components required for success (partial redundancy)
0.6561+0.2916 = 0.9477
2 components required for success (partial redundancy)
0.6561+0.2916+0.0486 = 0.9963
1 component required for success (full redundancy)
0.6561+0.2916+0.0486+0.0036 = 0.9999

System with Derated States
Two-state systems: (1) success or up state (2) failure or down state
Many systems can also reside in derated (or partial output) states,e.g. process plant, power generation plant
One of the most useful application of Binomial Distribution is to evaluate engineering systems with de-rated states.
- build COPT using Binomial Distribution- use COPT to evaluate system reliability
COPT: capacity outage probability table
System with Derated States
Consider a generation plant with two 10 MW units, each having a forced outage rate (probability of failure) of 10%.
p = 0.9, q = 0.1, n = 2

System with Non-identical ComponentsAll components must be identical to apply the Binomial Distribution.If components of a system have non-identical capacities:
- Units with identical capacities are grouped together- COPT is developed for each group- COPT for different groups are combined, one at a time- Final COPT for the system is used for reliability evaluation
A pumping station has 2 x 20 t/hr units, each having an unavailability of 0.1, and 1 x 30 t/hr unit with an unavailability of 0.15. Calculate the capacity outage probability table for this plant.

• The Failure Rate function
The failure rate function is seen to be decreasing . If λ1 λ2 early failure should have failure rate close to λ1. After a while all the week components have failed we are left with components with lower failure rate λ2
Reliability Block Diagram • A reliability block diagram is success- oriented network
describing function of the system .
• It shows the logical connection of the components needed to fulfill the specified system function
• If the system has more than one function , each function must be considered individually and separate reliability block diagram has to be established for each system function
• Reliability block diagram are suitable for the system of non repairable components and where the order in which failures occurs doesn’t matter
• When the system are repairable and the order in which failures occurs are important Markov Method are more suitable

Structure Function •The state of component i (i= 1,2,… n) can be described by binary variable xi where
X={x1, x2 , x3…..xn} is called state vector .By knowing the state of n components we knom whether the system is functioning or not
State of system (x) =( x1, x2 , x3…..xn)
This (x) is called the structure function

Pivotal Decomposition
• Conditional Probability approach
• p(system success or failure )= p(system success or failure if component x is good).p(x is good)+ p(system success or failure if component x is bad).p(x is bad)
• By pivotal decomposition the structure function may be written
(X(t)) = Xi(t) · (1i,X(t)) + (1 − Xi(t)) · (0i,X(t))
• = Xi(t) · [ (1i,X(t)) − (0i,X(t))] + (0i,X(t))
Pivotal Decomposition
• Consider the system represented by the reliability block diagram.
• Assume that the components of the system are independent with the following function probabilities (reliabilities): p1 = 0.90, p2 = 0.95, p3 = 0.85, p4 = 0.90, p5 = 0.80.
• Find the system reliability ps using Pivotal
• Sol
• Considering ith component is good and bad both the structure function is expressed as
• Assume component 2 doesn’t work then the reliability can be reduced as
1 1 0i i i iX x x x x
Pivotal Decomposition
• Assume component 2 works then the component 1 becomes irrelevant component the reliability can be reduced as shown in below
•
• If the system components have independent probabilities (reliabilities p1 = 0.90, p2 = 0.95, p3 = 0.85, p4 = 0.90, p5 = 0.80.)

Advantages of Cut Set Method:- cut sets identify ways in which a system may fail- approximation can be used to simplify evaluation- can be easily programmed on a computer
1st Approximation
QS = P(C1 C2 C3 C4)
= P(C1) + P(C2) + P(C3) + P(C4) - P(C1 C2) - P(C1 C3) - P(C1 C4) - P(C2 C3) - P(C2 C4) - P(C3 C4) + P(C1 C2 C3) + P(C1 C2 C4) + P(C1 C3 C4) + P(C2 C3 C4) - P(C1 C2 C3 C4)
P(C1) + P(C2) + P(C3) + P(C4)
QA.QB + QC.QD + QA.QD.QE + QB.QC.QE
If QA = QB = QC = QD = QE = Q, then QS = 2Q2 +2Q3
If Q = 0.01, QS = 0.000202, RS = 0.999798 n
For ‘n’ cut sets, QS = P(Ci) i=1
2nd Approximation
Neglect higher order cut sets (events with very low probabilities)
1st order: none2nd order: AB, CD3rd order: ADE, BCE
Neglecting cut sets higher than 2nd orderQS P(C1 C2) P(C1) + P(C2)
QA.QB + QC.QD
If QA = QB = QC = QD = QE = Q, then QS = 2Q2
If Q = 0.01, QS = 0.0002, RS = 0.9998

Probability Density Function, f(x) (see p. 43) - plot of Probability vs. Random Variable x
(Cumulative) Probability Distribution Function, F(x) = ∫f(x).dx f(x) = dF(x) dx
For discrete distribution, F(x) = ∑f(x)
In reliability evaluation, the random variable is usually time (t)
Failure Density Function, f(t)
(Cumulative) Failure Distribution Function, Q(t) -- Probability of Failure
Survivor Function R(t) = 1 – Q(t) -- Probability of Success
Hazard Rate, (t) = f(t) / R(t) = # of failures per unit time # of components exposed to failure

Total number of samples = N0
Number of failures at time t = Nf (t)
Number of survivors at time t = Ns (t)
Number of failures in interval t = Nf (t)
Failure Density Function, f(t) = Nf (t) / N0
Failure Distribution Function, Q(t) = Nf (t) / N0
Probability of Failure
Survivor Function R(t) = Ns (t) / N0
Probability of Success
Hazard Rate, (t) = f(t) / R(t)

Redundancy
Two way to ensure higher system reliability
• use components of higher reliability in critical places
•Introduce redundancy in those places Redundancy
•In an entity, the existence of more than one means for performing a required function [IEC50(191)]
Existence of means, in addition to the means which would be sufficient for a functional unit to perform a required function or for data to represent information [IEC61508, Part 4]
Redundant items may be classified as:
•Active (warm) redundancy
•Passive redundancy
•Cold redundancy
•Partly loaded redundancy
Passive Redundancy or perfect switching
• Ti time to failure item i for i=1,2…n
• Life time of the whole stand by system
• Mean time to failure
• For Two stand by system n=3
• For Two stand by system n=3
Cold Standby, Imperfect Switching
• Consider a system of n = 2 components with failure rates 1 and 2. Let the probability of successful switching be 1 − p. The system may survive (0, t] in two disjoint ways:– Item 1 does not fail in (0, t] (i.e., T1 > t).
– Item 1 fails in a time interval (, + d] where 0 < < t.
– The switch S is able to activate item 2. Item 2 is activated at time and does not fail in the time interval (, t].
– The probability of event 1 is Pr(T1 > t) = e−1t
