Abstract:

The reliability analysis of complex systems may often become unmanageable, especially when state or time dependent failure rates, repair facilities and standby operations are present in a system. This paper describes the possible use of a simulation approach and the development of a reliability, availability and maintainability simulator which may be used to alleviate some of the disadvantages inherent in the traditional analytical approach.
