IFR (Increasing Failure Rate) for Repairable Systems.

Abstract

Document considers k-out-of-n system with independent repairable components. It assumes that the repair and failure distributions are exponential with parameters micron (sub 1, ..., micron sub n) and (lambda sub 1,..., lambda sub n) respectively. In this paper the author shows that if lambda sub i-micron sub i = delta for all i then the life distribution of the system is Increasing Failure Rate.
