Abstract:

Existing methods cannot satisfy the reliability allocation demands of the early design phase for the modern complex system of NC turrets. Motivated by the need of practical application, this paper proposes a new and practical reliability allocation method in the early design stage for NC turrets considering failure mode and system complexity, information inaccessibility, and expert knowledge limitation. First, the fault tree of a NC turret is quickly built to clear the relationship between the system’s compositions and failure modes up. Second, the happening probability of each failure event in the fault tree is firstly calculated by fuzzy expert evaluation to provide the reliability allocation with complete information. Third, by discussing the practical meaning of every layer in the fault tree, the proposed allocation strategy is within the experts’ knowledge scope for evaluating accurately. Eventually, the application result of the AK36100 A turret is presented and compared with some existing allocation methods, illustrating the rationality of the proposed allocation method.
