Abstract

A mathematical model is established for the availability of a modularly redundant repairable system which consists of many active units and one standby; coverage is considered. The hazard rates for an active unit and for the standby unit are different and are assumed to be constant. Repair time distributions are general. Availability for the system, mean system up-time, and mean system down-time are derived.
