Two kinds of probabilistic models are constructed, in which the dependent competing failure process is considered. First, based on the assumption of cumulative shock, the probabilistic models for hard failure and soft failure are built respectively. On this basis, the dependent competing failure model involving degradation and shock processes is established. Furthermore, the situation of the shifting-threshold is also considered, in which the hard failure threshold value decreases to a lower level after the arrival of a certain number of shocks. A case study of fatigue crack growth is given to illustrate the proposed models. Numerical results show that shock has a significant effect on the failure process; meanwhile, the effect will be magnified when the value of the hard threshold shifts to a lower level.展开更多

For software structure, the pattern of modules and table? drive is adopted to realize the security of financial transaction and the diagnosis of communication fault. A new method, which is based on the application layer, transport layer and network layer, is used for diagnosing communication fault. Supporting both magnetic card and IC card, the system has been put into use in real financial systems, and has brought about both economic and social effects.展开更多

So data recovery technology has attracted wide attention of users and how to use data recovery technology to help to recover lost data and to minimize the loss has become an urgent need. This paper starts from the software and hardware failure to analyze two aspects of hard disk data loss, data storage structure theory, and combined with practical experience, it elaborates data damage type and related recovery methods.展开更多

High speed trains, as a major part of the railway transportation, are engaged with passenger's safety, and therefore the reliability issue is very important in such vital systems. In this paper, a dependable speed controller core based on FPGA has been developed for high speed trains. To improve the reliability and mitigate single upset faults on basic speed controller, this paper proposes a new effective method which is based on hardware redundancy. In the proposed Hybrid Dual Duplex Redundancy(HDDR) method, the original controller is quadruplicated and correct values are voted through the comparator and error detection unit. We have analyzed the proposed system with Reliability, Availability, Mean time to failure and Security(RAMS) theory in order to evaluate the effectiveness of proposed scheme. Theoretical analysis shows that the Mean Time To Failure(MTTF) of the proposed system is 2.5 times better than the traditional Triple Modular Redundancy(TMR). Furthermore, the fault injection experimental results reveal that the capability of tolerating Single Event Upsets(SEUs) in the proposed method increases up to 7.5 times with respect to a regular speed controller.展开更多
