  • Abstract
    An algorithm for calculating system mean time between critical failures (MTBCF) when two sections of a system with redundancy have unequal period maintenance times is discussed. The algorithm can be expanded to calculate system MTBCF for systems having more than two sections of redundancy with unequal periodic maintenance times. The algorithm can be modified to calculate system MTBCF when a portion of a system with redundancy has no periodic maintenance
