  • Abstract
    Algorithms for computing the lifetime distributions of consecutive-k-out-of-n:F systems with statistically independent, and statistically exchangeable component lifetimes are presented. A load-sharing model for statistically exchangeable component lifetimes and the effects of minimal repair on system lifetime are considered.
