Limitations of Minimal Cut-Set Approach in Evaluating Reliability of Systems with Repairable Components

Limitations of Minimal Cut-Set Approach in Evaluating Reliability of Systems with Repairable Components

This work shows that, when system components are repairable, system reliability cannot be evaluated exactly by means of the fault tree approach; only a system reliability lower bound can be obtained.
