Analytical Method of Calculating Reliability Sensitivity for Space Capsule Life Support Systems

Abstract

Several fields within the social and technical sciences have identified the importance of theoretical and practical research into complex systems. The sensitivity of these systems is one of the primary focuses. The capsule’s high-pressure oxygen supply system (HPOSS) prepares a complex system with complex interconnections. The reliability of HPOSS cannot be reduced to a single equivalent component or block by combining series and parallel reductions. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the application of mathematical detection tests to HPOSS in order to assess the sensitivity of the reliability of complex systems. Using the matrix-based minimal cut methodology and the linear sensitivity model of system reliability, the critical system illustrates the suggested methodologies and their relevance to investigating the sensitivity of complex interconnected systems.
