Availability Theory for Multicomponent Systems,

Abstract

In the paper the authors consider one of the most basic stochastic models in reliability theory--namely the on-off process generated by failures and repairs of components in a series system. A series system of k components operates if and only if each of the k components operates. No component operates while the system is down. Furthermore, only failed components are repaired and/or replaced; repair or replacement takes a random time. Repaired components are assumed to function like new components. (Author)
