questions.

Max. Marks = 30
Time Duration:50 mins

1. a) Define maintainability and its role in reliability . [2.5]

b) What are the steps in doing FMECA in safety analysis of a system ? [2.5]
2. Calculate the total reliability of two parallel systems each with three components in series.
Assume the reliability of each component will be p. [10]
3. Define and explain the Markovs graph for availability of single element system.
and NV = 1 1019 cm-3. [5]
4. A microwave transmitter has exhibited a constant failure rate of 0.00034 failures per operating hour, which gives nonacceptable design life(0.95 reliability) of 150 hours. A second redundant transmitter is added (parallel). What is the design
life of the new system? What will failure rate and hazard rate function of this redundant system. [10]

1. a) Define FMECA. What are the uses of FMECA. [2.5]

. b) Define availability and its types. [2.5]
2. Calculate the failure rate of a system for 10 i.i.d components in series each with probability of
failure of 0.93. Also calculate the MTTF and failure density . [10]
3. Define MTBF and MTTR. A component has MTBF = 200 hour and MTTR = 10 hour with both the failure and repair
distribution exponential, what is the availability at 10 hour, for first 10 hour and at steady state. [5]
4. What is meant by redundancy? Differentiate clearly between the component redundancy and the system redundancy.
