Abstract

A stochastic model of a two-unit warm standby system with n failure modes of each unit is investigated. Before repair, the failed unit is examined for the type of fault, which decides the failure mode. This process needs a random amount of time. After repair, the unit is inspected to decide whether the repair is perfect or not. If the repair is found to be imperfect, the unit is sent for post-repair. Using a regenerative point technique in the Markov renewal process, several reliability characteristics of interest are obtained.
