Availability and mean time to failure for repairable k-out-N: G systems with identical components

International Journal of Information and Decision Sciences (IJIDS), Vol. 15, No. 4, 2023

Abstract: This study presents Markov models for assessing the availability and the mean time to failure (MTTF) of a k-out-of n: G system with exponentially distributed time between failures and repair times. Generalised analytical expressions for the steady-state availability and MTTF are derived. Furthermore, numerical examples are used to illustrate the performance of several models along with the cost of adopting different configurations.
