ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITE SYSTEM
BY CONVENTIONAL METHOD
A system is constructed by arranging the components in the manner shown in Fig. 3 Ia,
and the reliability of each component for a given time t is recorded in the drawing. For ex-
ample, the reliability OfC 1 is 0.58. Find the reliability of the system for time t.
Calculation Procedure:- Perform the first cycle in transforming the system
to a simpler one
A system in which the components are arranged solely in series or in parallel is a simple
