Availability analysis of redundancy model with generally distributed repair time, imperfect switchover, and interrupted repair

open access: yesElectronics Letters, 2016
A redundancy model with generally distributed repair times, imperfect switchovers, and interrupted repairs is considered. Using supplementary variable method and integro‐differential equations, the analytical expression of the availability for the redundancy model is obtained.

Product forms for availability models [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
This paper shows and illustrates that product form expressions for the steady state distribution, as known for queueing networks, can also be extended to a class of availability models.

A Multiechelon Repairable Item Inventory System with Lateral Transshipment and a General Repair Time Distribution

open access: yesInformatica, 2006
Summary: This paper discusses the determination of the spare inventory level for a multiechelon repairable item inventory system, which has several bases and a central depot with emergency lateral transshipment capability. Previous research is extended by removing a restrictive assumption on the repair time distribution.

Sensitivity of Building Loss Estimates to Major Uncertain Variables [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
This paper examines the question of which sources of uncertainty most strongly affect the repair cost of a building in a future earthquake. Uncertainties examined here include spectral acceleration, ground-motion details, mass, damping, structural force ...

Approximate performability and dependability analysis using generalized stochastic Petri Nets [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Since current day fault-tolerant and distributed computer and communication systems tend to be large and complex, their corresponding performability models will suffer from the same characteristics.

A comparison of numerical splitting-based methods for Markovian dependability and performability models [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Iterative numerical methods are an important ingredient for the solution of continuous time Markov dependability models of fault-tolerant systems. In this paper we make a numerical comparison of several splitting-based iterative methods. We consider the
