Abstract

A generalized reliability model of a device subjected to several competing modes of failure is developed. The main emphasis is on describing the method for calculating the reliability and average life of a device subjected simultaneously to gradual (wear out) and sudden (chance) failures. A Weibull model is used corresponding to wear out failure and an exponential model corresponding to sudden failure. A numerical solution for calculating the average life of the device is presented.
