Abstract

This paper considers specific series systems exposed to external shocks and internal failures. The systems must complete a specified amount of work. The system elements can operate with different load levels that determine their performance and internal failure rates. The increase of the elements’ loading, on one hand increases their internal failure rate, but, on the other hand, it increases its performance level, which leads to reduction of the mission time. The optimal loading should achieve the balance between these two effects and provide the largest mission success probability. Two different types of series systems characterized by different definitions of time during which the elements are exposed to external shocks are considered. The cases when the elements are exposed to a common shock process and to different independent shock processes are also analyzed. Illustrative examples are presented.
