Abstract
The reliability evaluation of a multiphase system has been described in a number of papers, if components were assumed to be non repairable. If a system is composed of repairable components, only an upper bound can be found using the fault-tree approach. In order to find an exact solution to the problem, the Markov approach can successfully be used. The purpose of this paper is to present both above-mentioned approaches.
