Reliability Definitions
• Reliability is the probability that an item will successfully
perform its intended function
– In general, reliability is a function of time, R(t).
– Un-reliability is denoted Q(t) = 1 – R(t).
• Reliability / un-reliability are related to the CDF
– R(t) = P(working up to time t) = 1 – F(t).
– Q(t) = P(failure before time t) = F(t).
• Note that R(t) + Q(t) = 1.

Reliability Definitions (cont.)
• The probability of failure in a given time interval, t1 to t2, can
be expressed in terms of either reliability or unreliability
functions, i.e.,
P(t1 < T < t2) = R(t1) - R(t2)
= Q(t2) - Q(t1)

• The hazard rate is the instantaneous probability that a part that
has survived to time t will suddenly fail

Series Reliability
• Independent, series connected devices with reliabilities r1, r2,
r3, etc. have an overall reliability of r = r1 r2 r3 … rN.

• Independent, parallel connected devices with un-reliabilities
q1, q2, q3, etc. have overall un-reliability q = q1 q2 q3 … qN.
• Equivalent to r = 1 – (1 – r1)(1 – r2)(1 – r3) … (1 – rN).

Exponential Reliability
• The most basic model of reliability is the situation where the
failure rate is constant over time.
• The result is an exponential model,
R(t) = e-lt
Q(t) = 1 – e-lt
h(t) = l
MTTF / MTBF = 1/l
• Applies when the failure mechanism is simple .
• Recall that the exponential distribution is memoryless
• The Exponential Model is most often associated with
electronic equipment.

• -log R(t) = lt, that is, a logarithm paper should show a straight
line with exponential reliability.

Weibull Reliability
• When the failure rate isn’t constant with respect to time, the
distribution that fits the data is usually the Weibull
– Reliability
R(t )  e
– Hazard Rate
h(t )  blb t b 1
  lt b
• When b < 1 the failure rate is increasing.
• When b = 1 the failure rate is constant.
• When b > 1 the failure rate is increasing.

Weibull Reliability (cont.)
• Weibull is the first choice reliability model
– Models “weakest link in the chain” (series).
– 20-30 points usually required to discredit.
– Note: includes exponential (b = 1).
•
b is the shape parameter
•
l is the scale parameter

Weibull Probability Paper
• Probability paper for the Weibull is based on the logarithm of
the logarithm of the inverse reliability

 b log l  b log t
R(t )
• That is,
– Y = log(failure time)
– X = log(log(1 / (1 – Median Rank (Y))))
– Fit Y = mX + b using the least squares method
(AKA simple linear regression).
– Estimate of l = e-b and b = m-1.

The Log-Normal Distribution
• A log-normal tends to be a model of reliability when
– A large number of failures have to occur, that is, an
effective model is that of a large, parallel system, the
failure tends to have a log-normal distribution.
– Non-linear increases in the failure rate of the components.
– The log-normal appears concave down on Weibull paper.
• The Lognormal Model is often used as the failure distribution
for mechanical items and for the distribution of repair times.
• If T ~ LN(,), then Y = lnT ~ N(,).
