Optimal System for Warm Standby Components in the Presence of Standby Switching Failures, Two Types of Failures and General Repair Time
نویسنده
چکیده
Two different system configurations with warm standby components, standby switching failures, two types of failures "common cause failure and hardware failure" and general repair are compared based on the availability. The time-tofailure for each of the primary and warm standby components are assumed to follow the exponential distribution. Laplace transforms of state probability equations are developed by using the supplementary variable technique. We develop the explicit expressions for the steady-state availability, Av, for two configurations. For all configurations, comparisons are made for specific values of distribution parameters and of the cost of the components. The configurations are ranked based on Av and cost/benefit, for three various repair time distributions: Gamma (G), Weibull (W) and Lognormal (L), where benefit is Av.

Availability of 3-out-of-4:G Warm Standby System
Standby techniques are used to improve system availability. Usually, a k-out-of-n:G standby system is assumed that when an operating component fails, a standby component becomes active and the system is working if at least k components are fault-free. In general, there are three types in component standby, i.e., cold, hot and warm standby. Cold standby implies that inactive components have a ze...

متن کاملReliability Analysis of Redundant Repairable System with Degraded Failure
This investigation deals with the transient analysis of the machine repair system consisting of M-operating units operating under the care of single repairman. To improve the system reliability/availability, Y warm standby and S cold standby units are provided to replace the failed units. In case when all spares are being used, the failure of units occurs in degraded fashion. In such situation ...
