Abstract
In this paper, a complex system comprised of two types of component is considered. Type I consists of N components connected in series, whereas type II consists of components connected in standby redundancy. It is assumed that a standby component may also fail in its shelf-life. Further, the system experiences two modes of failure—the first due to change in performance characteristics and the second due to a common cause. The availability of such a system is investigated using supplementary variable techniques and Laplace transforms. Finally, a number of interesting particular cases are discussed.
