  • Abstract
    An efficient simulation algorithm for computing failure probability of a consecutive-k-out-of-r-from-n:F system (linear or circular) with any component reliability, is presented. The algorithm estimates both the failure probability of the system and the associated uncertainty (error). A complete interpretation of the algorithm results is given through a detailed error analysis
