Abstract

In order to identify the vulnerable components and ensure the required reliability of mechatronics systems, importance measures of critical components are crucially used in the early design of systems. However, complex mechatronics systems have the properties of hierarchy, nonlinearity, dependency, uncertainty, and randomness, which make it difficult to analyze the coupling failure mechanisms, model the system, estimate its reliability, and complete importance measures of its components. This paper proposes importance measures for components with continuous time degradation. The Wiener process model is used to describe the continuous-time degradation process, and the Copula Hierarchical Bayesian Network (CHBN) is developed for system reliability estimation. Six importance measures are proposed for continuous-time degrading components. These importance measures provide a time-dependent analysis of the criticality of components, thus adding insights on the contributions of the components on the system reliability or performance over time. A case study on the harmonic gear drive is then conducted to demonstrate the use of the proposed importance measures. The results of the study show that the CHBN-based importance measures can be a valuable decision-support tool for designers in the early design of systems.
