Modelling of Selected Reliability Indicators of Prototype PAM Equipment

Abstract:

The aim of the contribution is to describe modelling of selected reliability indicators of prototype equipment with PAM. Purpose of model is maximizing overall equipment reliability by the means of optimal selection of basic elements or by proper redundancy of the elements. Further, possibilities of reliability increase by the means of active and passive reserve are described, as a higher level of reliability control in given technical equipment with PAM. Summary of particular ways of reliability increase is presented on an example of a given prototype mechatronic equipment based on artificial muscle.
