Abstract
The paper analyses the availability and reliability of a 1-server parallel-unit cold-standby system; each unit consists of several series components. The failure rate of a component is constant; its repair time distribution is arbitrary. Explicit expressions for the Laplace transform of the mean down-time of the system and for the mean time to system failure have been obtained by locating suitable regenerative stochastic phenomena.
