The Lindstrom-Madden Method for Series Systems with Repeated Components.

Abstract

Series systems with repeated components arise often in engineering and physics. It is therefore important to utilize data obtained on individual components in an efficient manner when assessing the reliability of the combined system. This paper gives one method for doing so. the Lindstrom-Madden method of computing lower confidence limits for series systems with unlike components is extended to series systems with repeated components utilizing the results of Harris and Soms (1983). An exact solution is given for no failures and key test results, together with an approximation for the general case. Numerical examples are also provided.
