This article discusses the stochastic behavior and reliability properties for the inactivity times of failed components in coherent systems under double monitoring. A mixture representation of reliability function is obtained for the inactivity times of failed components, and some stochastic comparison results are also established. Furthermore, some sufficient conditions are developed in terms of the aging properties of the inactivity times of failed components. Finally, some numerical examples are presented to illustrate the theoretical results.
In this manuscript, we gain a mixture representation for reliability function of the residual lifetime of unfailed components in a coherent system under periodical inspections, given that the number of failed components before time t1 is r(≥0), but the system is still operating at time t1, and the system eventually failed at time t2(>t1). Some aging properties and stochastic orders of the residual lifetime on survival components are also established. Finally, some numerical examples and graphs are given in order to confirm the theoretical results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
