ABSTRACT

The phased array radar composed by the T/R units in a two-dimensional surface is a typical lattice system. The failure criteria can be described as the failure units within a subarea exceed a threshold. The exact reliability evaluation method of such system is not easy to be obtained. Thus, we proposed a reliability lower bound evaluation method. We provide an importance-based principle to identify the weakest area r ×s to conduct a selective maintenance. Some numerical examples are provided to show how to use the proposed method.

Keywords: Lattice system, Two-dimensional system, k-within-r ×s -out-of-m ×n, System reliability, Selective maintenance.
