Reliability Analysis of a Load-Sharing k-out-of-n System Due to Its Components’ Failure
The reliability characteristics of a k-out-of-n:F system are studied in the case when a failure of one of the system’s components leads to increasing the load on others, resulting in their residual lifetimes decreasing.
