1 - INTRODUCTION
This document provides guidelines for the preparation of Reliability analysis reports for
CBERS 3&4. It may be used for the preparation of reliability reports required in equipment
PDR and CDR.
In the following it will be suggested a contents for each Chapter of the document.
In the Introduction Section, it is presented an introduction about scope of the reliability report.
It can highlight if the report is focus on parts count method or stress analysis.
See example below:
This report presents the BDR Reliability Prediction and Derating analysis based on the Parts
Stress Analysis Method.
4 - RELIABILITY ASSESMENT
This section shall present Reliability Block Diagram and the relevant mathematical
expressions modeling the reliability block diagrams.
Reliability block diagrams and mathematical reliability expressions shall be provided for PDR
and updated in the following phases of the project to reflect the latest design status.
Assumptions used in the analyses shall be stated in the convenient reliability report. The
validity of each assumption shall be verified throughout the development of the project and
presented at the Design Reviews.

These diagrams will pictorially describe the important modes of operation of the product
under analysis. Reliability Block Diagram shall be prepared to show interdependencies
among all elements or functional groups of the product in each operational phase. The
purpose of the reliability block diagram is to show the various series/parallel block
combinations that result in product success.
This diagram will show the block(s) that are required to fail if an inadvertent output is to
occur.
They shall be drawn up so that each element or function employed in the subsystem can be
clearly identified.
1 2 L m
If failure of each element is independent, the basic reliability and mission reliability models
are:
m
RS = R1 R2 L Rm = ∏ Ri
i =1
− RS - reliability of system
− Ri - reliability of ith element
b. Parallel model
Parallel system is a system which failure occurs only in case of failure in all the elements that
constitute the system. Reliability block diagram of parallel system is as follows:

n+1
For switch wholly reliable and failure of each element is independent, system reliability is:
n +1 n +1
λi
RS (t ) = ∑ (∏ )e −λk t
k =1 i =1 λi − λ k
i≠k

For switch is not wholly reliable, if its life distribution is exponential and has a constant failure
rate λSw , then:
λ1
RS = e −λSW t + [e − λ t − e − ( λ
2 sw + λ1 ) t
]
λsw + λ1 − λ2
if reliability of switch is constant RSw , then:
λ1
RS (t ) = e −λ1t + Rsw (e −λ2t − e −λ1t )
λ1 − λ2
For system composed by two equal elements and switch considered with a constant failure
rate RSW, then:
RS (t ) = e − λt (1 + Rsw λt )
d. Majority voting redundancy system model (k-out-of-n redundancy)
Majority voting redundancy system normally designated, as k-out-of-n redundancy is a
system composed by n elements, which requires k elements to comply with its requirement.
Failure in n-k elements will not cause system failure. The reliability block diagram is as
follows:
k-out-of-n .
.
.
n
If all the reliability of each element is R, and the vote comparator is wholly reliable, the
mathematic model is:
n
RS = ∑ C ni R i (1 − R ) n −i
i=k
For a 2-out-of-3 redundancy system with three different elements and vote comparator with
reliability RV its reliability model is:
RS = RV ( R A RB + R A RC + RB RC − 2 R A RB RC )
For a 2-out-of-3 redundancy system with three equal elements and vote comparator with
reliability 1 its reliability model is:
RS = 3e −2 λt − 2e −3λt

5 - DERATING ANALYSIS
This section shall present parts application-derating analysis to indicate actual stress and the
relative derating for each part. This analysis shall demonstrate that all EEE parts are been
used in compliance with derating criteria established in the document ESA-PSS-01-301.
In the following are presented some example for derating analysis.
