This paper studies a repairable k-out-of-n:G system with failure dependencies, N-policy and repairman's multiple vacations. Whenever there are no broken components, the repairman leaves for a vacation which obeys a phase type distribution. Upon returning from his/her vacation, he/she takes...

This paper considers an k-out-of-n:G repairable system with repairman's single vacation and shut off rule where the working times and repair times of components follow exponential distributions, and the duration of the repairman's vacation is governed by a phase type distribution. Further,...
