Reliability Modelling of Non‐Maintained Parallel Systems with Multiple Failure Modes

This article presents four newly developed mathematical models representing non‐maintained parallel systems with hardware failures, common‐cause failures and human error. The Markov method was used to develop expressions for parallel system state probabilities, system reliability and mean time to failure (MTTF). System reliability and MTTF plots are shown. These plots clearly show the effect of common‐cause failures and human error on system reliability.
