D. Pandey et M. Jacob, COST-ANALYSIS, AVAILABILITY AND MTTF OF A 3 STATE STANDBY COMPLEX SYSTEM UNDER COMMON-CAUSE AND HUMAN FAILURES, Microelectronics and reliability, 35(1), 1995, pp. 91-95
The paper deals with the pointwise availability, steady state availabi
lity, MTTF and variance of the time to failure of 3 state, 1-out-of-2
unit systems with cold standby, under common cause and human failures.
The cost function analysis is also done to get the expected gain over
the time. Several graphs are presented to interpret the results.
