Abstract:
In a series of mechanical system maintenance it is possible to observe failures, sometimes intermittent, which cause series of unsuccessful repair attempts before the correct fault is detected and the repair is effective. Unsuccessful repairs performed for the same failure are not negligible and must be taken into account for the reliability analysis. To solve this type of problem, the model proposed is the branching Poisson process (BPP). This process is the representation of a primary failure that triggers one or more subsidiary failures. A summary and an adaptation for the resolution of the branching Poisson with failures time of repairable mechanical system were highlighted including some clarification regarding the steps of resolution implemented.
