Reliability properties of the system constructed by switching from one component to two-dependent unit redundant standby system

Abstract

In this work, we consider a system with switching towards tostandby redundant system composed of two dependent components. Marginaldistributions of component lifetimes are exponential and joint distribution belongs to Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern family. We examine reliability propertiesof switching system such as shape of hazard rate function, mean residual lifetime and some stochastic orders under determined circumstances on parameterspaces

Keywords

• Switching system, Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern distribution, redundant system, hazard rate
