Abstract :
The distribution of time to failure for a system consisting of two dissimilar, redundant, repairable units is discussed. The system fails if it stays inoperable for more than a fixed time interval, measured from the instant at which both units broke down. The Laplace transform of time to system failure, and the explicit formula for the mean time to system failure in the special case are derived.
