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.
