Abstract:

Consider a series system with n components. Let X sub i be the time to failure of the ith component. Let Rt be the reliability of the system at time t and Rt be the reliability when the components are independent. It is desired to find physically meaningful conditions such that Rt is a lower bound of Rt for all t.
