Availability of a Redundant System with Two Parallel Active Components under Markovian Assumptions

Jaechan Shim, Chang Kyu Kim, Yutae Lee

We consider a redundant system which consists of two parallel active components. The time-to-failure and the time-to-repair of the components follow exponential distributions. The repairs of failed components are randomly interrupted. The time-to-interrupt is taken from an exponentially distributed random variable and the interrupt times are also exponentially distributed. We obtain the availability for the system.
