Abstract :
The reliability behavior of systems is investigated if two types of failures can happen. Type 1 is removed by minimal repair, Type 2 by replacement. Reliability expressions are derived. The results are used for calculating the s-expected long-run cost rate for a generalized age replacement policy and repair limits.
