Reliability analysis of 1-for-2 shared protection systems with general repair-time distributions

Comparative analysis of standby systems with unreliable server and switching failure

“…The general repair time for components in the series system was developed by Wang et al [18] who applied the supplementary variable technique and the recursive method to develop the steady-state availability. Recently, Ozaki and Kara [11] used the state transition analysis and the supplementary variable method to study 1-for-2 shared protection systems including general repair time distributions to derive Mean Time to First Failure (MTTFF).…”
