Abstract: In a load-sharing system, the failure of a component affects the residual lifetime of the surviving components. We propose a model for the load-sharing phenomenon in k-out-of-m systems. The model is based on exponentiated conditional distributions of the order statistics formed by the failure times of the components. For an illustration, we consider two component parallel systems with the initial lifetimes of the components having Weibull and linear failure rate distributions. We analyze one data set to show that the proposed model may be a better fit than the model based on sequential order statistics.
