    RENEWAL AND RENEWAL-INTENSITY FUNCTIONS WITH MINIMAL REPAIR
    30-Jun-2014 Research 2014 : July - September
    Saeed Maghsoodloo, Dilcu Helvaci

    The renewal and renewal-intensity functions with minimal repair are explored for the Normal, Gamma, Uniform, and Weibull\nunderlying lifetime distributions. The Normal, Gamma, and Uniform renewal, and renewal-intensity functions are derived by\nthe convolution method. Unlike these last three failure distributions, the Weibull except at shape �Ÿ = 1 does not have a closedform\nfunction for the n-fold convolution. Since the Weibull is the most important failure distribution in reliability analyses, the\napproximate renewal and renewal-intensity functions of Weibull were obtained by the time-discretizing method using the Mean-\nValueTheorem for Integrals. A Matlab program outputs all reliability and renewal measures.
