Abstract: | In this paper, a system of five components is studied; one of these components is a bridge network component. Each of these components has a non-constant failure rate. The system components have linear failure rate lifetime distribution. The given system is improved by using three methods: reduction, warm standby with perfect switch and warm standby with imperfect switch. The reliability equivalence factors of the bridge structure system are obtained. The γ-fractiles are obtained to compare the original system with these improved systems. Finally, we present numerical results to show the difference between these methods. |
