Abstract
As a generalization of kβoutβofβn:F and consecutive kβoutβofβn:F systems, the consecutive kβwithinβmβoutβofβn:F system consists of n linearly ordered components such that the system fails iff there are m consecutive components which include among them at least k failed components. In this article, the reliability properties of consecutive kβwithinβmβoutβofβn:F systems with exchangeable components are studied. The bounds and approximations for the survival function are provided. A Monte Carlo estimator of system signature is obtained and used to approximate survival function. The results are illustrated and numerics are provided for an exchangeable multivariate Pareto distribution. Β© 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics 2009

In this article, a model for a repairable consecutive-k-out-of-n: F system with Markov dependence is studied. A binary vector is used to represent the system state. The failure rate of a component in the system depends on the state of the preceding component. The failure risk of a system state is th
Consider a 2-dimensional consecutive-k-out-of-n : F system, as described by Salvia and Lasher [9], whose components have independent, perhaps identical, failure probabilities. In this paper, we use Janson's exponential inequalities to derive improved upper bounds on such a system's reliability, and
