2. Normalization of Technical System Reliability Using Information Approach

Annotation: The information approach capabilities to solve the problem of reliability normalization are considered for the case, when the requirements for reliability index of technical system are specified as lower one-sided confidence limit. The mathematical programming problem is defined and solved as to change-over from the requirements for lower confidence limit of the technical system reliability to the requirements for reliability point estimate and its root-mean-square deviation. The proposed approach was adapted to solution of the problem of direct reliability apportionment of the technical system subsystems and units as lower confidence limits.
