Abstract:
In this paper, consecutive- k -out-of- n repairable systems with r repairmen are studied. The systems are either circular (or) linear. We assume that both the working time, and the repair time of each component are exponentially distributed, and every component after
repair is as good as new. Each component is either a key component or an ordinary component so we can adopt a priority repair rule for key components. By using the definition of transition probability, the state transition probabilities of the system are derived. Several fundamental reliability indices (including availability, the mean time to the first failure, reliability and failure rate) of the systems are obtained explicitly by using the Laplace transform technique. Finally, one example is shown to explain the model, and the methodology developed in this paper.
