Special Failure Distributions
(i) Exponential Distribution
If the time to failure T follows an exponential distribution with parameter πœ†, then
its probability density function is given by
𝑓 𝑑 = πœ†π‘’ −πœ†π‘‘ , 𝑑 ≥0
The reliability function is given by 𝑅 𝑑 =
Using (1) in (2), we get 𝑅 𝑑 =

‫ π‘’πœ† 𝑑׬‬−πœ†π‘‘ 𝑑𝑑
= 𝑒 −πœ†π‘‘ …..(3)

Hazard Function (πœ† (t)) : We know, πœ† 𝑑 =
𝑓(𝑑)
𝑅(𝑑)
Using (1) and (3) in hazard function, we get πœ† 𝑑 =
πœ†π‘’ −πœ†π‘‘
𝑒 −πœ†π‘‘
=πœ†
It means that, when the failure distribution is an exponential distribution with parameter πœ†, then the failure
rate at any time is a constant, equal to πœ†.
Conversely, when hazard rate = πœ†, then using the definition of 𝑓 𝑑 , we have
𝑓 𝑑 =πœ† 𝑑 𝑒
𝑓 𝑑 = πœ†π‘’
𝑑
𝑑
− ‫׬‬0 𝑓 𝑑 𝑑𝑑
− ‫׬‬0 πœ† 𝑑𝑑
= πœ†π‘’ −πœ†π‘‘ , 𝑑 ≥ 0
Due to this property, the exponential distribution is also referred as Constant Failure rate distribution.

β–ͺ Mean Time to failure (MTTF) = E(T) =
1
πœ†
It means that the time to failure of a component is not dependent on how long the
component has been functioning. This property is known as the memoryless property of
the constant failure rate distribution.

Example: A manufacturer determines that, on the average, a television set is used 1.8 hours per day. A one
year warranty is offered on the picture tube having a MTTF of 2000 hours. If the distribution is exponential,
what percentage of the tubes will fail during the warranty period ?
Solution: Since the distribution of the time to failure of the picture tube is exponential,
𝑅(𝑑) = 𝑒 −πœ†π‘‘ , πœ† being the failure rate.
Given, MTTF = 2000 hours
∞
i.e. ‫׬‬0 𝑒 −πœ†π‘‘ 𝑑𝑑 = 2000
i.e.

= 2000 or πœ† = 0.0005 / hour
𝑃(𝑇 ≤ 1 π‘¦π‘’π‘Žπ‘Ÿ ) = 𝑃(𝑇 ≤ 365 × 1.8 β„Žπ‘œπ‘’π‘Ÿπ‘ ) (since, TV is operated for 1.8 hours/day)
= 1 − 𝑃 (𝑇 > 657) = 1 − 𝑅(657)
= 1 − 𝑒 −0.0005 𝑋 657 = 0.28
i.e. 28% of the tubes will fail during the warranty period.

Show that the hazard rate is decreasing.
Given a 10- hour wear-in period, compute the reliability for a 50-hour mission.
What is the design life for a reliability of 0.95, given a 10-hour wear-in period?
Solution: (a) Given 𝑅 (𝑑) = 𝑒 −

𝑅(50) = 𝑒 −

𝛽

On using, 𝛼 =

in above pdf, an alternative form of Weibull’s pdf can be written as:
𝑓 𝑑 =
𝛽
𝛽 𝑑 𝛽−1 − 𝑑
𝑒 πœƒ
πœƒ πœƒ
, t ≥ 0 , πœƒ > 0, 𝛽 > 0
……(5)
Where, 𝛽 : Shape parameter
πœƒ: Characteristic life or scale parameter of Weibull’s distribution given by (5).
