A Model in Which Component Failure Rates Depend on the Working Set.

Abstract

The authors consider a multicomponent system in which the failure rate of given component at any time depends on the set of working components at that time. Sufficient conditions are presented under which such a system has a new better then used life distribution. When the failed components are allowed to be repaired, they present conditions under which the resulting process is time reversible.
