Journal of Risk and Reliability, 2015, vol. 229, issue 1, 16-25

Abstract: The reliability analysis of the load-sharing systems under different behaviors of the load has been provided in this article. An inverse problem of determining the load function by having requirements concerning the system survivor function is solved. Simple and explicit expressions for computing the load function are provided under the assumption that the Weibull probability distributions of time to failure are derived. A standby system consisting of two units under the changeable load is studied. The various numerical examples illustrate the proposed models.
