(c) The effective age of the system is reached at being repaired state.
Let T1 be the time before the first replacement, Tn be the time interval between the
( n − 1 )th and n th replacement, for n = 2,3,L . The process {Tn , n = 1, 2,L} can form a
renewal process. The time interval between two adjacent replacements is the length for a
replacement cycle.
