摘要：This paper discusses mean time between failure and availability analysis in a two-unit seriesrepairable system with three states under consideration. First two states are taken as up statesand the third state is down state. A single repair facility is available which repairs the unitson first-come-first-serve basis. Taking failure rates as identically distributed exponentialrandom variable and repair rate as exponential, Mean time between failure and Steady StateAvailability are calculated. Denoting the failure times of the components as λ and repair timeas μ expression for steady state availability and MTBF have been derived using semi-markovprocess and regenerative point technique. The difference equations are developed and solvedusing Laplace transform.
