MEAN LIFE OF SERIES AND PARALLEL SYSTEMS,
Abstract
Some inequalities are obtained which yield bounds for the mean life of series and of parallel systems based on the type of component life distributions, such as (a) increasing (decreasing) failure rate; (b) increasing (decreasing) failure rate average; (c) decreasing density; (d) Weibull; (e) Gamma. Similar inequalities are obtained for the convolution of life distributions, helpful in the study of replacement policies. (Author)
