Study on Reliability of Mechanical Systems Based on Petri Nets and Failure Dependence

Abstract:

Mechanical systems is vulnerable to be influenced of its structure and human factors for its subsystems, components and the complex relationship between each unit, causing the mechanical systems to be failed, which severely affects the reliability of the mechanical systems. based on Petri nets models of mechanical systems analysis, from safety, intermediate and failure three aspects, 3-level working model of “safety-intermediate-failure” is introduced to reflect the reliability (functioning fully) of mechanical systems, intermediary transition between reliable and failure, failure (can not work). Through using the union and intersection operation of stochastic event, and considering the different values of the related failure parameters among basic events which impacts on the reliability of mechanical system, eventually the calculation of mechanical system reliability vector with the intermediate state is established.
