a b s t r a c tIn this paper, the influence of a cold standby component on a coherent system is studied. A method for computing the system reliability of coherent systems with a cold standby component based on signature is presented. Numerical examples are presented. Reliability and mean time to failure of different systems are computed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
