Abstract Details

2014, Master of Science (MS), Ohio University, Industrial and Systems Engineering (Engineering and Technology).
The objective of this research is to develop a methodology to plan a zero-failure reliability demonstration test (RDT) for multi-component systems. A fully Bayesian hierarchical approach is applied to model multi-level systems, with independent components. The system failure time distribution is expressed according to the component failure time distributions based on the system structure determined by the reliability block diagram. Component-level prior information is incorporated into a joint prior distribution. Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, such as Gibbs sampling, are developed to find the minimum sample size for planning the system RDT.
