 The effectiveness of adding cold standby redundancy to a coherent system at system and component levelsSerkan Eryilmaz Reliability Engineering and System Safety, 2017, vol. 165, issue C, 331-335 Abstract: The effect of adding cold standby redundancy to a system at system and component levels provides a useful information in reliability design. For a series (parallel) system adding cold standby redundancy at the component (system) level yields longer system lifetime. In this paper, the effect of adding cold standby redundancy to a general coherent structure at system and component levels is studied. In particular, signature-based expressions for the survival function of the system after standby redundancy at system and component levels are obtained. Thus for a given coherent structure with known signature, the survival functions and mean time to failure of new systems can be easily calculated and comparisons can be done in terms of stochastic ordering, and mean time to failure ordering. As a case study, circular consecutive-k-out-of-n:G system which can be used to analyze activities in a nuclear accelerator is considered.
