Abstract
This Paper presents the reliability analysis of a two identical unit p arallel system with a warm standby subject to common-cause failures. T he expressions and plots of system reliability, availability, mean tim e to failure and variance of time to failure of the system are present ed. A general formular for the system steady-state availability is dev eloped when failed system repair times are gamma distributed.
