Abstract

The problem of determining the failure rate of a series system according to the failure rates of the component elements is solved in the literature, a reference in the field being the work [4]. There is no direct relationship between the failure rate of a parallel system and the failure rates of the component elements. In this paper we will deduce an exact relation between the failure rate of a parallel system and the failure rates of the component elements, their reliability and the reliability of the system. Starting from the exact relationship we will deduce a simpler relation of the failure rate of a parallel system by studying the asymptotic failure rate behavior.
