Abstract :
This paper considers k-unit systems with repair. Reliability and availability integral equations are set up using renewal theory. This paper treats a k-unit system with s-dependent failure rate and general repair time distribution, and a k-unit cold-standby system with Erlang failure time distribution and general repair time distribution.
