Reliability of Multiple Component Systems.
Abstract
Brindley and Thompson (1973) have introduced a multivariate concept of monotone failure rate. Here the authors treat a mathematical model which has arisen in biological and engineering applications. In a biological context one refers to the theory of competing risks; in the engineering applications the model represents a non repairable series system. The system fails when the first of its components fails so that not all component lifetimes are observable. (Modified author abstract)
