Analysis of a Repairable (n-1)-out-of-n: G System with Failure and Repair Times Arbitrarily Distributed

RELIABILITY OF REPAIRABLE k–out–of–n: F SYSTEM HAVING DISCRETE REPAIR AND FAILURE TIMES DISTRIBUTIONS

In this paper, repairable k – out – of – n:F system with single repairman is studied. The failure and repair times of components are assumed as geometric distribution which is one of the discrete distributions. Both the generalized and steady state transition probabilities of the states for the related system are obtained. The recursive relations for the reliability of the system are generated....

Availability Optimization of a Series Repairable System with Multiple k-out-of-n Subsystems

An availability model is developed to optimize the availability of a series repairable system with multiple k-out-of-n subsystems in this paper. There are two types of decision variables that determine the system designer’s decision to allocate the number of repairmen and to allocate the number of redundant components in each subsystem in the presence of weight, volume and cost constraint...

Reliability Analysis of K-Out-Of N: G Machining Systems with Mixed Spares and Multiple Modes of Failure (TECHNICAL NOTE)

This paper deals with the transient analysis of K-out-of-N: G system consisting of Noperatingmachines. To improve system reliability, Y cold standby and S warm standbys spares areprovided to replace the failed machines. The machines are assumed to fail in multiple modes. At leastK-out-of-N machines for smooth functioning of the system. Reliability and mean time to failure areestablished in term...

Real Time Study of a k-out-of-n System: n Identical Elements with Increasing Failure Rates

Analysis of an M/G/1 Queue with Multiple Vacations, N-policy, Unreliable Service Station and Repair Facility Failures

This paper studies an M/G/1 repairable queueing system with multiple vacations and N-policy, in which the service station is subject to occasional random breakdowns. When the service station breaks down, it is repaired by a repair facility. Moreover, the repair facility may fail during the repair period of the service station. The failed repair facility resumes repair after completion of its re...
