From a company's point of view, which of the following costs would be LEAST appropriate for determining the cost of reliability?
Response:
As a result of improper machining, a gear-tooth in a vehicle's transmission breaks causing the transmission to lock up and the vehicle to crash, injuring the driver. The failure mode in this case should be identified by the reliability engineer as the Response:
A system is made up to several identical parts of varying age. The reliability of each of these parts is given by R( t) = e - λt where λ is the failure rate in failures per hour and t is the operating time in hours.
Which of the following is TRUE about the reliability of these parts?
Response:
For a high compression aircraft air conditioning system, the MTBF is 100 hours. This mean life is allocated for four serial units comprising the total system. The unit failure rates are then weighted as follows:
w 1 = 0.1250 w 3 = 0.1875
w 2 = 0.2500 w 4 = 0.4375
Based upon the above data, indicate which of the following is the correct calculation for one of the units.
Response:
