Determination of Transient Availability under Dependent Failures or Infinite Replacement Times,
Abstract
The primary objective of the paper is to provide general availability functions for systems which involve repair. To solve the given problem, the Markovian process and Laplace Transforms are used to advantage. Two availability functions are derived, one general function and one restricted function. The general availability function is derived for a system which uses spares for repair of failed units. For this sytem it is assumed that replacement times can occur. The restricted availability function is derived for a system which uses spares with instantaneous replacement and complete repair of failed units. (Author)
