Abstract

This paper considers the case of two dissimilar unit redundant system with Erlang-failure and general repair distributions. Three cases are considered. (1) warm stand-by redundancy; (2) warm stand-by redundancy with priority; and (3) parallel redundancy in which case the failures of the units are not statistically independent. In models (1) and (2), the failure of each unit is independent of the other. The Laplace transforms of the reliability and the explicit formula for the mean time to system failure are derived.
