Reliability engineering is a sub-discipline of systems engineering that emphasizes the ability of equipment to function without failure. Reliability describes the ability of a system or component to function under stated conditions for a specified period of time. Reliability is closely related to availability, which is typically described as the ability of a component or system to function at ...

Reliability block diagrams model the functioning of a complex system through use of a series of "blocks," in which each block represents the working of a system component or subsystem. Reliability block diagrams allow one to aggregate from component reliabilities to system reliability. A reliability block diagram can be used to optimize the ...

Reliability Block Diagrams (RBDs) Block diagrams are widely used in engineering and science and exist in many different forms. They can also be used to describe the interrelation between the components and to define the system. When used in this fashion, the block diagram is then referred to as a reliability block diagram (RBD).

A reliability block diagram (RBD) is a drawing and calculation tool used to model complex systems. An RBD is a series of images (blocks) representing portions of a system. Once the images (blocks) are configured properly and image data is provided, the failure rate, MTBF, reliability, and availability of the system can be calculated.

"Reliability is the "probability of success" for a given period of time. Reliability is a metric directly related to how often (or how fast) the system fails. The last column in Table 1 shows how very different the Reliability is for these three systems, even though all three have the same Availability.

system reliability model is required. Most reliability modeling approaches are based on statistical methods. Their typical examples are reliability block diagram (RBD), fault tree analysis (FTA), and Markov chains [2].
