Abstract

In this paper‎, ‎a general form of weighted-(r,s)-out-of-n system having two dependent subcomponents with different weights is introduced‎. ‎This system consists of n independent components‎, ‎each having two dependent subcomponents‎, ‎each with its own positive integer-valued weight‎. ‎If the total weights of the working subcomponents exceed a pre-specified threshold (r,s)‎, ‎the system is assumed to function‎. ‎The reliability and component importance of this system are studied‎. ‎The survival function and mean time to failure are presented‎.
