Abstract

Through analysis the characteristics of multiple components system with tri-states, this paper builds a reliability model for the tri-states system with failure dependent, which suppose the system has three states: work, failure of safety and failure of danger. The component included in the system have two kinds of state: work or failure. The components failure behavior between components are interdependent. Through the use of copulas function, we derived the reliability index for system under different structure with the dependency of components, and obtain the mathematical formula of probability of work, failure of safety and failure of danger, mean time to failure of safety, mean time to failure of danger, which makes reliability analysis more accurate.
