Stochastic Analysis of a Repairable System with Three Units and Two Repair Facilities

This paper investigates the availability characteristics and the reliability of a three-dissimilar-unit repairable system with two different repair facilities. Under some practical assumptions, we obtain the explicit expressions of the state probabilities of the system, and then the explicit expressions of the following performance measures of the system:

(1) the pointwise and steady-state availability;

(2) the pointwise and steady-state failure frequency;

(3) the pointwise and steady-state renewal frequency;

(4) the reliability and the mean time to system failure.
