A method for computing series system reliability with unequal component sample sizes
methodforcomputi00bors.pdf (1.012Mb)Abstract
A method is presented for constructing system reliability using component failure data when the sample sizes for testing on the component parts differ greatly. The procedure can be applied to weapons systems as easily as subsystems. No assumptions about failure distributions are made. The accuracy of the procedure was examined by computer simulations and in this manner the procedure has demonstrated high accuracy for cases of practical interest.

A beam pattern design procedure for multidimensional sonar arrays employing minimum variance beamforming
(1990);This paper develops a beam pattern design procedure for general multidimensional irregular sonar arrays that incorporates the not well understood effects of array geometry into the design process. The procedure is implemented ... -
Modification of the Fjortoft graphical prognosis method
(Monterey, California. U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1966-10);This paper presents a relatively simple method for producing a 24-hour prognostic 500-mb chart by graphical means. It modifies the Fjortoft graphical method by incorporating a technique to include the intensification and ... -
A comparison of the Lieberman-Ross and Mann-Grubbs methods
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1976-09); NPS-53Zh76091This paper compares the Lieberman-Ross (LR) method, a statistically exact procedure for computing system reliability bounds, with the Mann-Grubbs (MG) procedure, an approximately optimum method for computing such bounds. ...
