On reliabilities of certain large linearly connected engineering systems

James C. Fu and W. Y. Lou

Statistics & Probability Letters, 1991, vol. 12, issue 4, 291-296

Abstract: Many engineering systems such as series system, standby redundant system, k-out-of-n system, consecutive k-out-of-n: F system, deterioration system, and repairable system, all of them can be viewed as linearly connected systems. This paper mainly studies the reliabilities and survival times of large linearly connected systems with deterioration-type transition matrices.
