Sm. Verma et Aa. Chari, AVAILABILITY AND FREQUENCY MEASURES OF A NONIDENTICAL 2-COMPONENT SYSTEM IN THE PRESENCE OF COMMON-CAUSE SHOCK FAILURES, Microelectronics and reliability, 34(1), 1994, pp. 147-151
This paper discusses the presence of non-lethal common cause shock fai
lures (NCS failures) in system reliability analysis. The system reliab
ility measures availability (A(+)(t)) and frequency of encountering th
e different states, is developed for a non-identical two component rep
airable system which is affected by NCS failures in addition to indivi
dual failures. Numerical illustrations are included in this paper.
