Application Cases of the Use of MBRSE

By taking a terrain mobile robot platform as an example, this chapter presents the forward reliability design process of using the MBRSE method, starting from the requirement analysis. At first, the functions, performance and hexability requirements of the terrain mobile robot platform are determined, and decomposed. Then, a preliminary design is carried out from the perspectives of function and structure, to figure out the working principles of the terrain mobile robot platform. Next, based on the functional models, a systematic fault identification is carried out, followed by the determination the failure transmission chain and closed-loop mitigation of the key failures. Finally, by taking a strain tester as an example, this chapter shows the component failure identification and control process, by means of Physics-of-Failure simulations.
