Abstract :
In this paper, we study the reliability measures of a degradable system in which
switching failures and reboot delay are considered. Failure times and repair times of
failed units are assumed to be exponentially distributed. There are two types of
repair. The first is due to failed state. The second is due to degraded state. The
expressions of reliability characteristics such as the system reliability and the mean
time to system failure MTTF are derived. We used several cases to analyze
graphically the effect of various system parameters on the system reliability and
MTTF. We also performed a sensitivity analysis for the reliability characteristics
with changes in specific values of the system parameters.
