The Monte Carlo method, Mean Time Between Failure, and Servicing Requests

Notice: On Wednesdays we meet in computer lab SEL 2249F.

Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)

We first went over pseudo code to compute the mean time between failures of a composite project. If you follow the links below you will see the Maple solution:

Servicing Requests

With MTBF, you can still find the analytical model in the textbook, but for the next application we do not even bother anymore to try to formulate the integrals we want to compute. In the lecture of today we stated the problem and briefly sketched the outline of one experiment. If you follow the links below you will see the full Maple solution: To explain the Maple worksheets, transparancies were used.
