Abstract :
The authors derive lower and upper reliability bounds for the two-dimensional consecutive k-out-of-n:F system (Salvia Lasher, 1990) with independent, but not necessarily identically distributed, components. A Weibull limit theory is proven for system time-to-failure for i.i.d. components
