Abstract

The aim of this work is to generalize reliability equivalence technique to apply it to a system consists of n independent and non-identical components connected in series system, that have mixing constant failure rates. We shall improve rates; (ii) add hot redundancy components; (iii) add cold   redundancy components; (iv) add cold  redundancy components with imperfect switches. We start by establishing two different types of reliability equivalence factors, the survival equivalence (SRE) , and mean reliability   equivalence(MRE) factors. Also, we introduced some numerical results.
