Abstract
Two propositions concerning the comparative behavior of the hazard rate functions for warm, ccld, and hot standby systems are expressed and then examined. The standby systems under study involve two components with constant failure rates. Emphasis is placed on establishing a lower bound on the hazard rate function for a standby system and on developing an optimal employment policy for the use of components in a standby system. A proof is offered to show that the hazard rate function for a cold standby system is a lower bound on the hazard rate function of either a warm or hot standby system. Evidence is then given to support the existence of an optimal employment policy for components in a standby system, but a complete proof is not presented.

    Some aspects of the behavior of two component parallel systems 

    Helt, James Franklin (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1973-03);
    The behavior of the system hazard rate function of a two component parallel system is investigated. The inter-relationships between the probabilities that the components composing the system are alive and the system ...

    Properties of an approximate hazard transform 

    Esary, James Daniel; Hayne, W. J. (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1973-09); NPS55EY73091A
    The calculation of the exact reliability of complex systems is a difficult and tedious task. Consequently simple approximating techniques have great practical value. The hazard transform of a system is an invertible ...
