Abstract

Estimation of values of interval availability and associated uncertainties is becoming increasingly important with regard to high capital items of production such as off-shore oil production platforms. In the present paper earlier research using exponential distributions for both failure and repair is now extended to enable calculations to be carried out for other distributions including the Weibull and log-normal distributions. A comparison of results obtained by using analytical, numerical and simulation methods is given and discussed.
