A TWO DISSIMILAR UNIT STANDBY SYSTEM WITH ARRIVAL TIME OF A REPAIRMAN AND CORRELATED FAILURES AND REPAIRS

摘要

This paper analyses a system consisting of two dissimilar units i.e. main unit-I and ordinary unit-II with random arrival time of a repairman. Priority in repair is given to the main unit over ordinary unit. Repair time of a unit depends on its failure time and their joint distribution is taken as bivariate exponential. Using regenerative point technique, various reliability characteristics of the system have been obtained. The behavior of MTSF have also been studied through graphs.
