Optimal component loading in 1-out-of-N cold standby systems

G Levitin, L Xing, Y Dai - Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 2014 - Elsevier
This paper considers the optimal choice of productivity (load) of components in 1-out-of-N
non-repairable cold standby systems. It is assumed that each system component can …

Optimal completed work dependent loading of components in cold standby systems

G Levitin, L Xing, Y Dai - International Journal of General Systems, 2015 - Taylor & Francis
This paper considers the modelling and optimization of 1-out-of-N: G cold standby (CS)
systems with non-repairable components functioning at different levels of productivity or …

Evaluating a warm standby system with components having proportional hazard rates

X Li, R Yan, MJ Zuo - Operations Research Letters, 2009 - Elsevier
This paper investigates the heterogeneity of components with proportional hazard rates in a
redundant system. The total number of those standbys surviving the failure time of some …

Cold vs. hot standby mission operation cost minimization for 1-out-of-N systems

G Levitin, L Xing, Y Dai - European Journal of Operational Research, 2014 - Elsevier
It is well recognized that using the hot standby redundancy provides fast restoration in the
case of failures. However the redundant elements are exposed to working stresses before …

Optimal sequencing of warm standby elements

G Levitin, L Xing, Y Dai - Computers & Industrial Engineering, 2013 - Elsevier
Warm standby redundancy has been used as an effective design technique for improving
the reliability of a system while achieving the compromise between restoration cost and …

Non-Homogeneous 1-Out-of- Warm Standby Systems With Random Replacement Times

G Levitin, L Xing, Y Dai - IEEE Transactions on Reliability, 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In standby systems, when an online working element fails, a replacement procedure is
initiated to activate a standby unit which will take over the mission task to sustain the system …

Reliability analysis of a complex standby redundant systems

R Subramanian, V Anantharaman - Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 1995 - Elsevier
In any redundant system, the state of the standby unit is usually taken to be hot, warm or
cold. In this paper, we present a new model of a two unit standby system wherein the …

Reliability analysis of a single warm-standby system subject to repairable and nonrepairable failures

CE Wells - European Journal of Operational Research, 2014 - Elsevier
An n-unit system provisioned with a single warm standby is investigated. The individual units
are subject to repairable failures, while the entire system is subject to a nonrepairable failure …

Cost benefit analysis of series systems with warm standby components and general repair time

KH Wang, YC Liu, WL Pearn - Mathematical Methods of Operations …, 2005 - Springer
We study the availability analysis of three different series system configurations with warm
standby components and general repair times. The time-to-failure for each of the primary …

Optimal Backup Distribution in 1-out-of- Cold Standby Systems

G Levitin, L Xing, Y Dai - IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man …, 2014 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This paper considers nonrepairable 1-out-of-N: G cold standby (CS) systems subject to
uneven backup actions as well as dynamic backup and retrieval times. In such systems, only …
