Abstract :
In this paper, we consider the residual lifetimes of surviving components of a failed coherent system with statistically independent and identically distributed components, given that before time t1 (t1 > 0) exactly r (r <; n)components have failed, and at time t2 (t2 > t1) the system just failed. Some aging properties and preservation results of the residual lives of the surviving components of such systems are obtained. Also some examples and applications are given.
