  • Abstract
    Upper and lower bounds for the reliability of a (linear or circular) consecutive k-within-m-out-of-n:F system with unequal component-failure probabilities are provided. Numerical calculations indicate that, for systems with components of good enough reliability, these bounds quite adequately estimate system reliability. The estimate is easy to calculate, having computational complexity O(m2×n). For identically distributed components, a Weibull limit theorem for system time-to-failure is proved
