Simulation Assessment of Reliability for k/N Redundancy System Considering Failure Correlativity of Components

The reliability assessment model of k /N system is built based on Copula function theory considering the failure correlativity existing among components,and then a simulation strategy is presented on the foundation of agent technique.The components and equipment entity model are designed according to the modeling technique above to describe the operation relationship during the mission phase,and then the simulation system for the assessment of product reliability is completed.And at last,an example is given with different material support programs.The research result has shown that the relevance existing in components has effect on the confirmation and optimization of maintenance strategy.
