Abstract
This paper proposes a new model that generalizes the linear consecutive k-out-of-r-from-n system. In this model the system consists of n linearly ordered statistically independent identical elements and fails if the gap between any pair of groups of r consecutive elements containing at least k failed elements is less than m elements. An algorithm for system reliability evaluation is suggested, which is based on an extended universal moment generating function. Examples of system reliability evaluation are presented.
