Abstract: This paper studied reliability assessment of three dissimilar systems configured as series-parallel systems. Three probabilistic models are discussed. Each system consists of six units. It is supposed that the failure and repair time of all components are considered to be exponentially distributed. Using linear differential-difference equations, mathematical models for the steady state availability and mean time to failure are derived, examined and compared for each system. Through numerical examples, the systems are compared and ranked to determine the optimal system.
