Reliability of system with dependent units
Applications of Mathematics, Tome 30 (1985) no. 5, pp. 317-320
The availability of a system with dependent units is obtained in the case where the system fails when one of the essential units fails. Markov model is assumed. The system considered consists of $n$ dependent units of which $r\leq n$ units are essential units. A unit is said to be essential if its failure causes the system to fail. The mean and variance of time to system failure are given. Unit reliability is also discussed.
