Assessing the reliability function of nanocomponents. (English) Zbl 1213.62160

Summary: A nanocomponent is a collection of atoms arranged to a specific design in order to achieve a desired function with an acceptable performance and reliability. The type of atoms, the manner in which they are arranged within the nanocomponent, and their interrelationship have a direct effect on the nanocomponent’s reliability (survival) function. We propose models based on the notion of a copula that are used to describe the relationship between the atoms of a nanocomponent. Having defined these models, we go on to construct a ‘nanocomponent’ model in order to obtain the reliability function of a nanocomponent.
