All rights reserved. 134.1.4 Measuring reliability The classical definition of reliability is the probability of providing a specified performance level for a spec-ified duration in a specified environment. This probability is a useful metric for mission-oriented, low vol-ume

35、 products such as spacecraft. However, reliability metrics for most high-volume products measure thereliability of a product population rather than the performance of a single system or a mission. Specifying asingle value such as MTBF is not sufficient for a product that exhibits a time-dependent ha

36、zard rate (i.e.,non-constant failure rate). In this case, a more appropriate metric is the probability of mission success. Thismetric may be time dependent, e.g., the probability of mission success may vary depending on the length ofthe mission, or number of cycles, e.g., the probability of mission

37、success may vary depending on the numberof uses. For “one-shot” devices, where the mission is a single event such as a warhead detonation, the proba-bility of success will be a single number. Constant rate metrics are discussed in 4.1.4.1. Probabilities of suc-cess metrics are described in 4.1.4.2.A

38、 useful reliability function is the cumulative hazard function, H(t), that can be derived from the EquationH(t) = ln(R(t). The derivative of the cumulative hazard function is the hazard rate, h(t) (see Pecht B11). 4.1.4.1 Constant rate reliability metricsThe hazard rate is the instantaneous rate of

39、failure of the product. When the hazard rate is constant, or inde-pendent of time, it is usually designated by a parameter l. Sincefor a constant failure rate, the previous equation becomes the familiar R(t) = exp( t), the exponential distri-bution. The constant parameter is usually called the const

40、ant failure rate, although sometimes the functionh(t) is also called the “failure rate,” and there are many references in the literature to increasing or decreasingfailure rates.7A constant failure rate has many useful properties, one of them is the mean value of the products life distri-bution is 1

41、/. This mean value represents the statistically expected length of time until product failure and iscommonly called the mean life, or mean-time-before/between-failure (MTBF). Another useful property ofthe constant failure rate is that it can be estimated from a population as the number of failures d

42、ivided bytime without having to fit a distribution to failure times. However, it should be noted that the exponential dis-tribution is the only distribution for which the hazard rate is a constant and that the mean life is not 1/h(t)when the hazard rate is not a constant.MTBF is sometimes misunderst

43、ood to be the life of the product rather than an expression of the constantfailure rate.8 If a product has an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours, it does not mean that the product will last thatlong (longer than the average human lifetime). Rather, it means that, on the average, one of the products willfail fo

44、r every 1,000,000 hours of product operation, i.e., if there are 1,000,000 products in the field, one ofthem will fail in one hour on the average. In this case, if product failures are truly exponentially distributed,then 63% of the products will have failed after 1,000,000 hours of operation. Produ

45、cts with truly exponen-tially distributed failures over their entire lifetime almost never occur in practice, but a constant failure rateand MTBF may be a good approximation of product failure behavior.7Since failure rate is so often implicitly interpreted as a constant parameter, the term constant

46、failure rate is used throughout this guideto mean the constant parameter l of the exponential distribution. The term hazard rate is used whenever the derivative of the hazardfunction varies with time, e.g., decreasing hazard rate or increasing hazard rate.8The use of mean time to failure (MTTF) and

47、MTBF is not standard in either reliability literature or industry practice. In some contexts,MTTF is used for non-repairable items, and MTBF is used for repairable items. In some contexts, either or both MTTF and MTBF areimplicitly assumed to imply a constant failure rate. For convenience and to hel

48、p minimize confusion in this guide, MTTF is used in con-junction with non-repairable items, MTBF is used in conjunction with repairable items, and both are used only in conjunction with aconstant failure rate. When the hazard rate is not a constant, the mean value of the reliability distribution is

49、referred to as the mean liferather than the MTBF or MTTF.Ht() ht()t t=d0t=IEEEStd 1413.1-2002 IEEE GUIDE FOR SELECTING AND USING14 Copyright 2003 IEEE. All rights reserved.If the constant rate is represented by the parameter , the mean value of the exponential distribution is 1/, asdiscussed in the preceding subclause. Therefore, constant rate metrics can be described either as a rate or asa mean life, e.g., constant failure rate or MTBF. Constant rate reliability metrics are approximations
