In these cases,the traditional stress-strength interference( SSI) model based on classical probabilistic approach can not be used to evaluate reliabilities of components. To solve this issue, the traditional universal generating function( UGF) is introduced and then it is extended to represent the discrete interval-valued random variable.Based on the extended UGF,an improved discrete interval-valued SSI model is proposed, which has higher calculation precision compared with the existing methods. Finally,an illustrative case is given to demonstrate the validity of the proposed model.展开更多

On the basis of stress-strength interference (SSI) model, this paper takes the mechanical system with common cause failure (CCF) as the research object. The relationship between the stress distribution and the strength distribution is studied, and the failures of components are independent of each other under the determin- istic stress. Then, the concept of conditional reliability is introduced to build the system reliability models under the action of one-stress and multi-stress for both series and parallel systems. Finally, the corresponding properties of the DrODosed methods are discussed to show their advantages.展开更多

In order to avoid the uneertain hypothesis in the Miner's rule, ie. thatthe sum of damage equals one represents failure, this paper proposes the probabilistic relativeMine's rule. This paper also presents a new method for calculating reliability, ie. the syntheticmethod of Miner's rule and interference model. This model considers not only the influence ofstress concentration, dimension and surface, but also the influence of stress amplitude and se-quence.展开更多
