摘要
Series-parallel (parallel-series) arrays consist of several subsystems in series (parallel) where each subsystem has several components in parallel (series). Each unit and the system itself is subject to two modes of failure, open and short, and all component states are mutually independent. Each item has the same failure-time distribution and the probability of short failure of an item, given the failure of the item, is a constant. It is shown that that the distribution of the lifetime of the system is a linear combination of the distributions of lifetimes of systems each of which is an ordinary series or parallel system of mutually independent components.
