Abstract
The object of the research is the technical system of a multipurpose machine tool, the tools of which can fail and be restored. A failed tool remains functional for some time due to a temporary reserve until a parametric failure occurs, the magnitude of which is random. All random variables describing the system have general distributions. The apparatus for constructing a mathematical model of the described system is a semi–Markov process with a discrete–continuous phase space of states. The stationary distribution of the embedded Markov chain is found explicitly. For systems with parallel connection, series connection with disconnection and without disconnection of elements, the stationary time between failures of the system, the stationary time spent in the state of failure and the stationary system availability factor are found. A numerical example shows the dependence of the stationary characteristics of the system on the size of the time reserve.
