|---|---|---|
This paper investigates the steady-state availability of a repairable series-parallel system with redundant dependency. The different types of components and repairmen are taken into account, the failure rate of the operating component varies as the number of other failed components and the repair rate of the failed component is constant in each parallel redundant subsystem. To quantify the redundant dependency, a modified failure dependence function is introduced to determine the failure rate of the components in each subsystem. Markov theory and matrix analysis method are used to get the steady-state probability vector of each subsystem and the steady-state availability of the entire system. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the obtained results and to analyze the effect of redundant dependency class on the system availability. |
