Mean Time to System Failure and Availability Modeling of a Repairable non Identical Three Unit Warm Standby Redundant System

چکیده
Most of the studies on reliability characteristics of redundant systems deal with cold standby systems only. Little attention is paid on 2-out-of-3 warm standby system involving three types of failures. In this study models for mean time to system failure and availability have been developed to study the effect of failure rate on some measures of system effectiveness. Using Chapman Kolmogorov’s forward equations methods, explicit expressions for measures of system effectiveness like mean time to system failure (MTSF) and availability have been obtained. Graphs were plotted to see the behavior of MTSF and availability of system. Also a special case like linear consecutive 2-out-of-3 system is considered to see the effect of failure rate on system design. Results show that three units warm standby is more effective that linear consecutive 2-out-of-3 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...

Many authors have studied repairable redundant system operating in different condition under the assumption that the system received corrective maintenance at failure and preventive maintenance before failure. However, little or no attention is paid on whether the system can receive minor and major maintenance when it is operating in a reduced capacity state. In this study we consider a redunda...
