Maw. Mahmoud et al., RELIABILITY-ANALYSIS OF A 2-UNIT COLD STANDBY SYSTEM WITH INSPECTION,REPLACEMENT, PROVISO OF REST, 2 TYPES OF REPAIR AND PREPARATION TIME, Microelectronics and reliability, 35(7), 1995, pp. 1063-1072
This paper deals with a two-unit standby system-one operative and the
other in cold standby. Single repair facility which acts the inspectio
n, replacement, preparation and repair. We wait the serverman for some
maximum time or until the other unit fails. The analysis is carried o
ut on the supposition that all time distributions are general except f
ailure, delivery, replacement and inspection time distributions are ex
ponentials. Stochastic behavior of the system has been studied by the
regeneration point technique and several parameters of interest are ob
tained. Numerical results pertaining to some special cases are also ad
ded.
