The Reliability of an engineering system characterized by hot and cold standby: a compound boundary value problem
Reliability of an engineering system
Abstract
We analyse the reliability (survival function) of a duplex system characterized by hot standby and sustained by an auxiliary unit in cold standby. The entire system is attended by two heterogeneous repairmen. Our methodology is based on the theory of sectionally holomorphic functions combined with the notion of dual transforms. Finally, we also study the total occupational time of the repairman responsible for the repair of the failed priority unit during the survival time of the system.
