An r consecutive k out of n: F system is a system of n linearly arranged components which fails if r non-overlapping sequences of k components fail. When r = 1 we have the classic consecutive k out of n: F system about which there is an extensive literature. In this research we study the situation w
For a consecutive-k-out-of-n system of components with independent and identically distributed increasing failure rate (IFR) lifetimes, Cui et al. (Probab. Engng. Inform. Sci. 9 (1995) 217) proved that for any ΓΏxed k, there exists an n k for which the system does not preserve IFR when n ΒΏ n k . On t
