Abstract:

In order to research the problem of torpedo storage reliability during the period of enlistment, according to the information of torpedo operational readiness switch, each failure time at which a fault occurs is estimated by using an interpolation method.Then the operational readiness switch sequence diagram, the actual intact status and failure status sequence diagram and the periodic intact status and failure status sequence diagram are respectively drawn up. Thus the torpedo’s storage availability, storage failure rate and storage reliability in different number of years set for enlistment can be computed. An example is presented, and the results show that the proposed method can satisfy the requirement of the engineering application.
