Abstract
This paper compares two approximations for evaluating the reliability of redundant systems subject to periodic maintenance (PM) wherein failed portions are periodically replaced. Such approximations are useful because exact analytic methods become burdensome even for seemingly simple redundant schemes.Keywords
