Abstract

Some coherent systems are such that failure of the system does not mean that all components fail. This paper investigates the stochastic behavior and reliability properties of the residual lifetime of live components in coherent systems under the assumption that the system fails at time t. We also investigate the stochastic properties of inactivity time of failed components in coherent systems where failure of some components does not cause the failure of the complete system.
