Measures of Different Reliability Parameters for a Complex Redundant System Under Head-of-Line Repair

Abstract

The authors have considered a complex system consisting of two subsystems designated as ‘A’ and ‘B’ connected in series. Subsystem ‘A’ consists of N non-identical units in series, while the subsystem ‘B’ consists of three identical components in parallel redundancy.
