摘要：

Most of the research, on the study of the reliability properties of technical systems, assume that the components of the systems operate independently. However, in real life situation, it is more reasonable to assume that there is dependency among the components of the system. In this paper, we consider a ( n − k +1)-out-of- n structure in which the component lifetimes are dependent random variables. We investigate stochastic properties of the inactivity time of the failed components of the system, extending some existing results in the literature where the components of the system are assumed to be independent and identically distributed. The results are then extended to the case where the system has an arbitrary coherent structure with exchangeable components.
