Abstract

In this paper, a coherent system consisting of non-identical dependent active components and equipped with non-identical dependent standby components is considered. The main object of this study is the random quantity which account the number of surviving standby components when the system is failed. We represent the distribution function of the corresponding random variable in terms of system signature.
