To evaluate the life of a packaging box, accelerated life testing was conducted under multiple environmental stresses. Based on the potential failure mode and mechanism, sensitive stresses were determined in accelerated life testing. The method of events compression and increasing stress levels was used for accelerated life testing based on the life profile of packaging box. The test included an environmental aging test, a random vibration test, a fork transport test, an artificial dismounting test, a declivitous impact test, and a rotating edge drop test. The standard timing test statistical scheme was used to evaluate the life of packaging box. The results indicate that the lowest confidence limit of the life of a packaging box life is 9.94 year under 80% confidence level.

The application of digital instrumentation and control systems in Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) provides a series of advantages, but it also raises challenges in the reliability analysis of safety-critical systems in the NPPs. Software testing is one of the most significant processes to assure software reliability, and the safety-critical systems of NPPs are sensitive to the severity of software faults, especially the critical faults that infect the system function greatly. Previous software reliability models related to the analysis of fault severity were mostly based on the assumption of different severities. In this paper, the fault severity data collected during the software test process were used for modeling the test process with a Software Reliability Growth Model based on a non-homogeneous Poisson process. The mean value function was derived by considering the ratios of critical and non-critical faults and was named as “Ratio of Critical-Faults model” (RCF model). The fault data collected while developing the safety-critical system were used to validate this model. According to the analysis, RCF model had fitting abilities similar to that of the Goel-Okumoto model and Inflection S-shaped model whereas the prediction effect of the RCF model was better than that of these two models, especially when little data were collected, which could be used to determine the release time of the software.

System of systems (SoS), like transportation systems and combat systems, is integrated by a set of independently operating systems that interact with each other to provide an end-to-end capability, which cannot be achieved by individual systems. Resilience is the ability of an SoS to recover to a desired performance level after disruptive events. Even though many measures have been proposed to evaluate resilience, there is no one general metric that can be used in all situations. Given that what we actually need is the performance process with time, this paper presents an area method to evaluate resilience by calculating the area below the performance curve after disruption. Meanwhile, we propose the SoS operating time, combined with the area method, to identify which of the recovered performance levels and the recovery speeds is more important according to different situations. Finally, the proposed research enables us to evaluate resilience implementation approaches and select the best one.

The generating function method is an important tool for the structural reliability analysis and performance assessment of multi-state systems. However, no corresponding solving method is available for implicit limited state functions. Therefore, a response surface method based on the generating function method is proposed, and its reliability is calculated. This method is improved based on the classical response surface method by using the present most dangerous point (minimum) of fitting the limited state function obtained as the design point and the expansion point of the next iteration, making the expansion point closer to the failure surface, enhancing the approximate precision of the limited state function near the failure surface, and providing a feasible way for calculating the system reliability in a highly precise manner with the generating function method of non-uniform discretization. Examples are provided to demonstrate that the new method improves the convergence rate and calculation accuracy and reduces the iterative and cumulative error.

Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) systems are widely used in commercial aircraft engines nowadays and system reliability has an important effect on the safety of aircraft operation. A reliability analysis framework is proposed in this study. Bayesian networks (BNs) are used to obtain the reliability function of the system which is able to analyze FADEC systems in the continuous time domain. A practical FADEC system is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of our formalism. Compared with others, this formalism can analyze systems in the continuous time domain, and a multi-state characteristic can be described. The result shows that our BN based formalism is a powerful tool for reliability analysis of FADEC systems.

This paper studies the degradation process of mechanical systems which are composed of multiple sub-systems which have been subjected to continuous wear and random shocks. We have developed a new mathematical model of series systems and established the function curve of each sub-system's degradation over time to evaluate the system's lifetime. Previous research mainly focused on simple non-repairable systems with multiple sub-systems which suffered from independent degradation processes, and held the view that systems can normally work only when the total degradation of each sub-system is less than the threshold level. This new model extends previous research by considering both a non-repairable system and a repairable system subject to multiple degradation processes, and these two types of systems will also fail when the degradation of the overall system is greater than the threshold level. The model is demonstrated on a specific example by means of Monte-Carlo simulation.

Being instrumental in electric energy data collection for energy data collection and supervisory systems, the reliability of an electric energy collector not only affects the reliability of the system, but also directly influences users' satisfaction. With the objective of addressing the problem of reliability assessment of an electric energy data collector, the failure mechanism of the data collector was first identified, followed by a cyclical acceleration method, which includes a sub test known as step stress test. Based on the exponential distribution of the fault time of the electrical energy collector, the Gamma distribution was assumed as the prior distribution and a multilevel Bayesian no-failure data statistical analysis method was used to calculate the average life span of the collector using the experimental data. Further, we adopted the Arrhenius equation under temperature stress and the activation energy value of electronic products to calculate the reliable life expectancy of the electrical energy collector under the normal operating temperatures. Additionally, this method is suitable for other electric energy data collectors as the main structure and working principle are similar.

With the rapid development of technology, several infrastructure networks are often coupled together and thus need to be modeled as interdependent networks. Because of potential overloads, interdependent networks are more fragile when suffering from attacks. Existing studies have primarily concentrated on the cascading failure process of interdependent networks without load, or the robustness of isolated network with traffic. Only limited research have been done on the cascading failure process caused by overload in interdependent networks. Redundancy is a primary design approach that can enhance the reliability and robustness of the system. In this paper, we propose a method that adds redundant design for the influential nodes in interdependent networks with traffic to suppress overloading. First, a detailed model with a redundant design and redundant level is introduced. Three strategies (Random, Degree and Betweenness) based on the potential knowledge of network centrality can be used to identify the influential nodes of networks. Then, two indicators are presented to evaluate the robustness of interdependent networks. Lastly, we analyze the common effects between the coupling strength and the redundancy on the invulnerability of interdependent networks. Experiments on two interdependent networks demonstrate that with a suitable coupling attributes (strength and preference) and a higher degree of redundancy, an interdependent network is more robust under random attacks. The results suggest that such a redundant design can permit construction of highly robust interactive networked systems.
