Qus.1Explaini) Reliability ii) Hazard Rate iii) MTTF iv) Maintainability

Qus.2Explain Fault tree analysis & symbol used to construct Fault tree diagram.

Qus.3Explain failure density function, hazard rate & mean time between failures.

Qus.4 What is Analysis of variance (ANOVA)?

Qus.5 Following table shows the result of 100 Spark plug components tested simultaneously

components

Calculate: Hazard rate, Failure density function & Reliability.

Qus.6 A system of three elements 1,2 and 3 having failure rates λ1=0.007, λ2=0.003, λ3=0.001 per hour
respectively. Assuming mission time of 20 hours and system reliability of 0.90, Find failure rates as well as
reliability of each subsystem for the entire mission period.

Qus.7 Construct a Fault tree diagram for series-parallel system shown in the block diagram.

Qus.8A room with two light bulb is operated by a single switch. By assuming the “NO Light” in the
room as the top undesirable event construct a Fault tree diagram.

Qus.9 A special purpose machine (SPM) requires a continuous DC supply during operation. A required
DC supplyismade through AC to DC converter. Two converter are used in order to ensure uninterrupted
DC supply. Converters receive power supply from sub-station which id directly connected to the main
supply line. Construct a Fault tree diagram for the system.
Qus.10 For an emergency operation theatre in a hospital, the power is obtained from the main city supply
through a transformer connected in series. To ensure uninterrupted supply, an auxiliary generator is also
used with a suitable switch over. Draw a block diagram for the system & construct a Fault tree diagram

Qus.11 Find the reliability of following subsystem shown in figure having S1, S2, S3 and S4 non-series
parallel structure in witch arrows indicate the flow of information.

Qus.12Explaini) Gear tooth thickness ii) Interference iii) Undercutting iv) Gear Profile modification

Qus.13Explainwith neat sketch “Surging of helical spring.
