 Reliability analysis for multi-state systems under K-mixed redundancy strategy considering switching failureBaoliang Liu, Yanqing Wen, Qingan Qiu, Haiyan Shi and Jianhui Chen Reliability Engineering and System Safety, 2022, vol. 228, issue C Abstract: In this paper, a three components repairable system under K-mixed redundancy strategy with unreliable switching failure is proposed, in which the lifetimes of components, the repair time of failure components and the vacation time are distributed with different phase-type (PH) distributions. The multiple vacation policy of the repairman is adopted so that the human resources can be fully utilized. The proposed repairable system model is studied in both transient and stationary regimes with matrix-analytic method. Some reliability indexes are obtained by employing Kronecker operator theory and aggregated stochastic theory. Finally, a numerical example and a comparison analysis between K-mixed redundancy strategy model and mixed redundancy strategy model are implemented to illustrate the results obtained in the paper.
