Abstract:

In reliability engineering, it is of great significance to predict the residual life of systems. However, research on residual life of r-out-of-n: G system is insufficient due to its complex structure. Assuming that the lifetime of components follows exponential-Weibull distribution, the closed-form of residual life for r-out-of-n: G system is derived when the component failure information is known. Specifically, the closed-forms are also presented when failure information is unknown and component lifetime follows Weibull distribution. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method and further indicate that prediction results of residual life for systems deviate greatly by neglecting the failure information of the components.

Key words: residual life, failure information, exponential-Weibull distribution, r-out-of-n: G system
