Abstract: This study presents Markov models for assessing the availability and the mean time to failure (MTTF) of a k-out-of n: G system with exponentially distributed time between failures and repair times. Generalised analytical expressions for the steady-state availability and MTTF are derived. Furthermore, numerical examples are used to illustrate the performance of several models along with the cost of adopting different configurations.

Keywords: k -out-of n : G system; availability; mean time to failure; MTTF; cost. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
