Abstract
The complexity of distributional error analyses has handicapped the revival of analytical methods of reliability being based on the exponentiality of time to unit failure and, most often, repair. The assertation, that these hypothesis hardly affect the calculation of reliability of strongly redundant systems with reliable units, is substantiated by studying parallel systems with identical units. As a by-product a surprising bridge between reliability and steady-state availability is established. This result is obtained both by Markovian theory and methods free of any distributional hypothesis.
