Reliability Analysis of Sparsely Connected Consecutive-k Systems: GERT Approach

摘要

During the last quarter century, a mass of research has been investigated on consecutive-k-out-of-n:F systems, and its various generalizations, addressing problems of reliability computation.Besides,several new reliability models by combining the k-out-of-n model with other consecutive-k-out-ofn models have also been proposed.When the number of working components between the two failures is at maximum d, then the two failed components are called consecutive failures with sparse
