On the Idle Time of a Repairman Attending a Renewable Cold Standby System
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider a basic cold standby system attended by a single repairman. The system satisfies the usual conditions (i.i.d. random variables, perfect repair, instantaneous and perfect switch, queueing). The operative unit has a constant failure rate and an arbitrary repair time distribution. We analyse the idle time of the repairman during the survival time of the system. Finally, as an example, we consider the particular case of deterministic repair (replacement).

Reliability 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 ...
متن کاملOn the Reliability of a Renewable Multiple Cold Standby System
Apart from important but particular cases, such as state-dependent exponential distributions, for example, [1, 4] or an arbitrary repair time distribution [12], the reliability analysis of multiple cold standby systems is far from complete. We present a general reliability analysis of a basic multiple cold standby system attended by a single repairman, henceforth called a K-system. The K-system...
متن کاملA cold system with two different components and a single vacation of the repairman
In this paper, we model a cold standby repairable system with one repairman. Suppose that the system consists of two dissimilar components and one repairman, in which component 1 is the major working unit and component 2 is the cold stand-by unit, component 1 has priority in use and repair; then the repairman takes a single vacation. Under these assumptions , we derive a model of partial differ...
متن کاملCold standby redundancy optimization for nonrepairable series-parallel systems: Erlang time to failure distribution
In modeling a cold standby redundancy allocation problem (RAP) with imperfect switching mechanism, deriving a closed form version of a system reliability is too difficult. A convenient lower bound on system reliability is proposed and this approximation is widely used as a part of objective function for a system reliability maximization problem in the literature. Considering this lower bound do...
متن کاملAsymptotic Stability of Gaver’s Parallel System Attended by a Cold Standby Unit and a Repairman with Multiple Vacations
We investigate Gaver’s parallel system attended by a cold standby unit and a repairman with multiple vacations. By analysing the spectral distribution of the system operator and taking into account the irreducibility of the semigroup generated by the system operator we prove that the dynamic solution converges strongly to the steady state solution. Thus we obtain asymptotic stability of the dyn...
