On Gaver's parallel system sustained by a cold standby unit and attended by two repairmen
Pages 43 - 48
Abstract
We consider Gaver's parallel system sustained by a cold standby unit and attended by two identical repairmen. The system satisfies the usual conditions (i.i.d. random variables, perfect repair, instantaneous and perfect switch, queueing). Each operative unit has a constant failure rate and a deterministic repair time. We analyse the total joint idle time of both repairmen during the survival time of the system. The analysis requires the solution of a delay-differential equation. A numerical example illustrates the structure of the solution for some particular values of the underlying parameters.

Transient Analysis of a Two-Unit Standby System with Markovian Degrading Units
A two-unit cold standby system with Markovian degrading units and one repair facility is considered. Two types of repair are possible: preventive and corrective, where the latter is supposed to be more time consuming than the first. The system is ...
Stochastic behaviour of a two-unit standby system with two types of repairmen and patience time
Stochastic behaviour of a two-unit cold standby redundant system, with two types of repairmen is analysed. The first repairman (usually called ''regular'' repairman) will always remain with the repair facility, with the known fact that he might not be ...
