Abstract:Dependent failures of machines may take many forms. Interactive failure is one type of the dependent failures happening among multiple subsystems. The interactive coefficient is represented by the degree of interaction between two subsystems, but it cannot be estimated in intricate interactive relationship among multiple subsystems by now. In order to solve the problem, the failure chains of the interactive failure are classified into five types in this paper and all the elements in it are defined. Then the in… Show more
