Abstract :
A mathematical model is established for the reliability of modularly redundant systems with repair. The model allows different hazard rates for active units and for standby units. The hazard rates are assumed to be constant. The cases of constant repair rate and constant repair time for a two unit system are evaluated using the reliability and mean time between failure. The approach is then extended to systems with more than two units. A system parameter, relating to certain types of sensing, switching, and/or recovery has a very significant impact on system reliability for modularly redundant systems with repair.
