Abstract

The main purpose of the present paper is the exploration of an algorithm for reliability assessment and analysis based on the modified Weibull distribution. Indeed, an original methodology for the monitoring and the evaluation of the a gas turbine system reliability has been proposed and set up. The obtained results in this work show the effectiveness of the used approach for assessing the operational reliability (observed and estimated) for the studied system by providing advantageous performance in minimizing the number of data classes. On the other side; these results allow a better understanding of the studied system behavior based on its reliability and survival function analyzing. Finally, the validation tests on heavily biased data and on incomplete data confirm the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
