Reliability Assessment
in Risk Analysis
(Part 1)
Introduction
Reliability is theoretically defined as the probability
of failure or the frequency of failures.
The reliability of an engineering system can be
defined as its ability to fulfill its design purpose
defined as performance requirements for some time
period and environmental conditions.
The theory of probability provides the fundamental
bases to measure this ability.
Introduction (contd)
The objective of this chapter is to introduce reliability
assessment methods for components and systems that
are based on analytical models and empirical data.
The reliability assessment methods are needed to
determine failure rates and hazard functions, which can
be applied to other decision and problem-solving
techniques; such as engineering, economic and tradeoff
studies.
Reliability assessment also can be fed into risk analysis
and management process to be used to define the
failure probabilities of risk measures.
Introduction (contd)
The reliability of a component or system can be
assessed in the form of a probability of meeting
satisfactory performance requirements according to
some performance functions under specific service
and extreme conditions within a stated time period.
Random variables with mean values, variances,
and probability distribution functions are used to
compute probabilities.
Introduction (contd)
The reliability assessment methods can be based
on:
1. Analytical strength-and-load performance
functions, or
2. Empirical life data.
They can also be used to compute the reliability for
a given set of conditions that are time invariant or
for a time-dependent reliability.
Analytical strength-and-load
performance functions
Many methods are available for reliability
assessment purposes that are based on strengthand-load performance functions, such as:
1) First Order Second Moment (FOSM) Method,
2) Advanced Second Moment (ASM) Method, and
3) Computer-Based Monte Carlo Simulation
(CBMCS)
