  • Abstract
    For a consecutive-k-out-of-r-from-n:F system with unequal component reliability: (1) upper and lower reliability bounds are obtained; and (2) a limit formula and a life distribution for the reliability of a large system are derived under certain conditions. Many previous results on the reliability of the consecutive-k-out-of-n:F system are special cases of this paper
