Popis: A two-unit warm stand-by redundant system is analysed under the assumptions that the switching device (s.d.) is imperfect and the repair facility is not available (dead time) after each repair completion. The repair time of the units, the s.d. and the dead time are arbitrarily distributed random variables. The lifetimes of the unit while on-line and while standing by and that of the s.d. are exponentially distributed random variables. The reliability characteristics of interest to system designers have been derived. Some results obtained earlier are shown as particular cases.
