Summary: | This paper deals with a two-unit paralleled system with a single repair facility. Most papers on this subject assumed that at least one of the life time and repair time distribution is exponential. However the above assumption is violated by this paper. Then the various state probabilities (densities) have derived by employing the method of supplementary variables. We obtain the stochastic behaviour from these probabilities; (1) the long-run availability, (2) the idleness probability for the repair crew, and (3) the expected number (per unit time in long run) of system failures. Also comparison between the constant failure rate and non-constant failure rate is shown by numerical example. |
