Abstract :
This paper is concerned with the number of components that are failed at the time of system failure. We study the corresponding quantity for a coherent structure via the system signature. Furthermore, we study the distribution of the number of failures after a specified time until the system failure. We illustrate the results for well-known general classes of coherent systems such as linear consecutive -within- -out-of- :F, and -consecutive- -out-of- :F.
