...Ismail Muhammad Musa; Ibrahim Yusuf Purpose The purpose of this paper is to model and to improve the stability and long-lasting operation of the small home solar system configuration regarding the reliability, availability, sensitivity, cost analysis and mean time to failure (MTTF). Design...

... is analysed using Laplace transforms to solve the mathematical equations. Some important measures of reliability such as availability of system, reliability of the system, mean time to failure (MTTF), sensitivity for MTTF and cost analysis have been discussed. Some particular cases have also been derived...

... transition system with various types of failures has been analyzed by using the Markov process, supplementary variable technique and Laplace transformation. Findings Various reliability measures such that reliability, availability, mean time to failure (MTTF), mean time to repair and cost analysis have...

... transforms. All failures are assumed to follow exponential distribution, whereas repairs follow two types of distributions that are general and Gumbel–Hougaard family copula. In this paper, explicit expressions for reliability, availability, mean time to failure (MTTF) and cost analysis functions have been...
