M. Gururajan et B. Srinivasan, A COMPLEX 2-UNIT SYSTEM WITH RANDOM BREAKDOWN OF REPAIR FACILITY, Microelectronics and reliability, 35(2), 1995, pp. 299-302
This paper deals with a two-unit warm standby system with a single rep
air facility. The lifetime of the functioning (online) unit has a gene
ral distribution, while the standby unit has a phase-type distribution
. The repair facility is subjected to random breakdown and is restored
after a random time. The statistical characteristics, such as reliabi
lity, availability and interval reliability, are provided for the mode
l.
