k-out of-n System with Dependent Failures and Standby Support
2002
Journal of King Abdulaziz University-Engineering Sciences
In this paper, we have studied a k-out of-n system with dependent failures and standbys. The failure of any working unit affects the system reliability and the standby support increases the reliability of the system. To improve the grade of service we have studied two standby support options for degraded systems. The expressions for reliability and expected operational time are being derived. To validate the analytical results, illustrative examples with numerical results are also facilitated.
