The Determination of Time Dependent Availability When Repair Times Are Governed by the Learning Curve,

Abstract

The research is designed to develop methods to predict system availability when repair times are governed by the learning curve. Two basic models are developed. The first is a modified form of the Markov chain model. The second model utilizes a Monte Carlo simulation. An expression for the expected repair rate is developed in order to use the modified Markov model. Tables to aid in determining the repair rate are included. (Modified author abstract)
