The exact availability and the limiting average availability of a periodically inspected system, supported by a spare and maintained with perfect repairs or upgrades, are obtained for arbitrary life-, repair-and upgrade-time distributions. Illustrative examples, graphs and table are presented.
A system is subject to shocks that amve according to a nonhomogeneous Poisson process. As shocks occur a system has two types of failures. Type 1 failure (minor failure) is removed by a minimal repair, whereas type 2 failure (catastrophic failure) is removed by replacement. The probability of a type
