Abstract
This paper investigates a mathematical model of a two-unit cold standby redundant system with three possible states of each unit—normal, partially failed and failed. Each unit has n components, each having a constant failure rate and a repair rate, an arbitrary function of the time spent. These vary from component to component. Steady-state probabilities, steady-state pointwise availability, mean time to system failure and Laplace transforms of various transient probabilities have been obtained. Several earlier results are verified as special cases.
