A model in which component failure rates depend on the working set

Naval Research Logistics Quarterly, 1984, vol. 31, issue 2, 297-300

Abstract: We consider a multicomponent system in which the failure rate of a given component at any time depends on the set of working components at that time. Sufficient conditions are presented under which such a system has a life distribution of specified type. The Laplace transform of the time until all components are down is derived. When repair is allowed, conditions under which the resulting process is time reversible are presented.
