BEHAVIORAL ANALYSIS OF A SINGLE UNIT REDUNDANT SYSTEM HAVING IMPERFECT SWITCH USING RPT AND RPGT

ABSTRACT

This paper discusses the Behavioral Analysis of a Single Unit Redundant System having Imperfect Switch with a single repair facility using Regenerative Point Technique (RPT) and Regenerative Point Graphical Technique(RPGT), under Steady state condition. The system has a single unit with priority repair. Problem may arise while switching and sensing the failed units to operative state. The complete process is Mathematically formulated and various parameters such as the Mean Time to System Failure(MTSF), Availability, Busy period of Server, number of Server’s visits and number of Replacement are evaluated. The analysis is followed by illustrations, special cases, tables and graphs.
