Cost analysis, availability and MTTF of a three state standby complex system under common cause and human failures
Abstract The paper deals with the pointwise availability, steady state availability, MTTF and variance of the time to failure of 3 state, 1-out-of-2 unit systems with cold standby, under common cause and human failures. The cost function analysis is also to get the expected gain over the time. Several graphs are presented to interpret the results.
