Assessment of Reliability Equivalence Factors of a Series System with Independent and Non- Identical Components
Abstract
This paper examines how the failure rate for each component should be reduced and offers alternate methods for maximising system reliability and its performance. The system components are independent and non-identical follows an exponential distribution with failure rate
