A 2-Unit Warm-Standby Redundant System With Delay and One Repair Facility

This paper introduces the Delay Times (preparing/waiting time for repair). The Laplace-Stieltjes transform of 1) The first-passage time distribution to system failure, 2) The s-expected number of system failures during (0, t], 3) The probability that the system fails at time t, are all derived for a 2-unit warm-standby redundant system by unique modification of a Markov Renewal process. Three examples are given
