(MECH) (Semester - VIII) (Revised 2007-08) Examination, May / June 2011 (E- Il) MAINTENANCE ENGINEERING & MANAGEMENT Duration :3 Hours ‘Tal Marks : 100 Instructions : 1) Answerin total FIVE questions, selecting minimum ome question from each module. 2) Use of statistical tables is permited. 3) Assume missing dat, if any with proper justification. 4) Figures to right side indicate marks. 5) Use only the probability plot supplied along with the question paper and not to forget 0 atach them to your answer books. MODULE-1 Q1) Answer the following: | a) Explain the importance of data analysis in maintenance planning and control. [5] ») Give general maintenance policy decision using a flow chart. 15] ©) Avwell built system too fails. Offer your comments. 15] 4) Bring out the issues involved in condition based maintenance system. [5] 02). Wiite a descriptive note on the following: 8) Computerizes Maintenance Management (CMM). 15) ») Latest trends in maintenance. 18] ©) Codification in maintenance. 161 Q3) ) Hjorth (1980) proposed a hazard rate as given below 112) We) =8+ oy c He claims its versatility as the following special cases can be derived fiom 6 = 0: the Rayleigh distribution 8 = B= 0: the exponential distribution {8 = 0: decreasing failure rate 8 OB: increasing failure rate, and 0< 8 < OB: bath-tub curve Prove his claim and hence characterize the distribution using rectification analysis Also show that it does not violate reliability requirements. Pro.G- 1153 » 4) a) b) Q5) a) 2 MECH 8 - (E11) 3 (RO) Telan & Mariappan (2008) reported an uncommon behavior of Logrormal distribution on life-cycle. Carry out necessary investigations in support of the authors” findings. 8) ‘An electronic company manufactures Printed Circuit Board (PCB). The ‘manufacturer is required to perform accelerated reliability testing to determine the long-term reliability at normal operating conditions. The following fuilure- time data is obtained from such test: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 93 and 111 hours. Carryout reliability assessment on this product using probability plot and hence find the following: [14] ‘Mean, median and modal lives, B+ life which can be used for warranty Using Part ii) for warranty with a cost of Rs. 1500/- and if the company offers a extended warranty witha cost of Rs. 2000/-, find the mean warranty cost iv) IfB10 life is used for Preventive maintenance schedule and if one ignores to replace parts on the scheduled period, what would be your inference! Note: Not to forget to attach the used plots with the answer sheets Find the reliability ofthe given system (You may assume 0.9 reliability level for all components) (61 > Figur |: Rely lock diagram of ay MODULE- 11 Without preventive maintenance performance of a system is given by [10] al aa finde =12 00 0+ LA Oe Q i) Characterize the hazard rate. ii) Fora convenient level of mission and reliability level of 0.95, supposing by ‘overhauling the system is returned to as-good-as new condition, recommend 4 preventive maintenance policy. iii) 1f there is 1% probability that faulty overhaul will cause the system to fail immediately following start-up, what would you like comment on the ‘maintenance action.G- 1153 * MECH 8 - (EI) 3 (RC) 26) Q7 28) )_ Derive a relation for k-out-of-n units system’s reliability and mean life from first principles without using Markov model. (10) ‘A multi-national service provider has the global server made up of 2 standby servers. ‘The first one is primary while all others are backups as shown in the Figure 2. The failure rate ofthe primary computer as well as back-up systems are 2, = 0.004 per day. [No failures occur while in stand-by and for that matter, not even switch failures [20] a) Define various states of the system. 'b) Draw the corresponding State Transition Diagram (STD). ¢)_ Establish a general expression for reliability of the system and hence investigate its nature, 4) Obtaii the other reliability measures if they are analytically feasible. et Figure-2: A 1/3 stand-by system ‘Module -1V critical communications relay has a constant failure rate of 01 per day. Once it has failed, the Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) is 2.5 days (the repair rat 48). Derive a relation for availability showing transient and steady state components and hence obtain steady state availabilty for the general case (Hint: use Makov formulation) 'b) Find steady state availability for the specific case under Consideration. ©) If two identical communications relays must operate in series, using the result ‘obtained in Part i) and assuming mutual independency, compute the steady state availability of the series system. (Hint: model it like RBD) 4) Ifthe two components operate in active parallel compute the steady state availabilty ‘ofthe system using the result obtained in Parti) and assuming mutual independency. (Hint: model like RBD) 4). Establish arelation for optimal period for age replacement policy and hence explain how to make PM decision. 112) )_Derivean optimal Preventive Maintenance (PM) schedule for maximum availability as illustrated by Kay (1978) and give detailed explanation of its utility.
