Abstract

The multivariate point process induced by the stochastic behaviour of a two-unit warm standby redundant repairable system is studied. Expressions for the product densities of the events corresponding to the entry into each of the states and the interval reliability are obtained. The reliability and availability are deduced as special cases.
