Abstract

A 2-unit standby redundant system with imperfect switchover is considered. A repair facility is assumed to be available only at a fixed proportion of time. Failure-time distributions of units are exponential whereas repair-time distributions, distribution of time for the repairman to become available are general. The system has been investigated in detail by the help of semi-Markov process and closed form results are obtained for mean-time-to-system-failure, steady-state availability, expected number of occurrences of a state, expected profit and second moment of time in up state. Behaviour of several parameters has also been studied and several earlier models are included as particular cases.
