Obtaining system availability in an engineering design is trickish and
challenging, especially when there is a reduction in capacity; however, it
supports system maintainability. In this paper, a mathematical model for
finding the availability under the reduced capacity has been proposed using
the Chapman Kolmogorov approach with the help of transition diagrams
associated with various possible combinations of probabilities. The paper
observes the most critical subsystem by selecting variable failure and
repair rates from different subsystems. It deals with the sensitivity
analysis of a complex repairable threshing combined machine comprising
subsystems in a series configuration and the threshing machine consisting of
21 subsystems. The device works in total capacity when the threshing drum
and feeding Hooper work in the complete state, and the concave subsystem and
blower work with reduced power. This study dealt with uncertain data and was
analyzed analytically using a complex repairable system. The availability of
the entire machine has been investigated analytically, and various
availability indices such as subsystems extruder have been computed and
reported. The study discovered that subsystem extruder has the most impact
on some subsystems? overall system availability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
