Reliability Analysis and Maintenance Strategies for
Complex Systems and Components
A power supply consists of three rectifires in series. Each rectifier has a Weibull
failure didtribution with eqaul to 2.1. However they have different
characteristics lifetimes given by 12,000 hr, 18,500 hr and 21,500 hr. Find the
MTTF and the design life of the power supply corresponding to a reliability of
0.90.
Given values:

A system has two failure modes. One failure mode due to external conditions,
has a constant failure rate of 0.07 failure per year. The second attributed to
wearout, has a Weibull distribution with a characteristics life of 10 year and a
shape parameter of 1.8. Determine the system reliability for a design life of 1
year. Find by trial and error the median time of failure
