Comparative analysis of three availability systems with warm standby components, fault detection delay and general repair times
نویسندگان
چکیده
We deal with three availability systems with warm standby components, fault detection delay and general repair times. Failure times and repair times of failed components are exponentially and generally distributed, respectively. Detection delay times are also exponentially distributed. A recursive method is used to develop steady-state availability, ( Av ), for three systems. We present extensive numerical computations to compare three systems for the Av based on specific values given to the system parameters.

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 کاملPerformance Analysis of a Repairable Robot Safety System with Standby, Imperfect Coverage and Reboot Delay
The present study deals with a robot safety system composed of standby robot units and inbuilt safety unit. When the main operative unit fails, it is replaced by the standby robot unit available in the system. The concept of reboot delay is also incorporated in this study according to which the robot unit is rebooted if it is not successfully recovered. The recovery and reboot times of failed u...
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 ...
متن کاملCost Benefit Analysis of Series Systems with Mixed Standby Components and k-stage Erlang Repair Time
In this paper, we compare the availability characteristics between three different series system configurations with mixed (cold and warm) standby components and k-stage Erlang repair times. Three configurations are studied under the assumption that the time-to-failure for each of the operative and warm standby components are assumed to be exponentially distributed with parameters λ andα , resp...
متن کاملAvailability analysis for repairable system with warm standby, switching failure and reboot delay
By using the Markov process, system state transitions can be modelled to predict the system availability in many realistic applications, wherein all components of the system cannot be treated as identical because of their failure and repair characteristics. In this paper, efforts have been made to examine the availability characteristics for three different configurations with warm standby, swi...
