文摘Failure Correlation between components sharing the same load is common in mechanical systems.A model to analyze the reliability of the mechanical components is developed. Then, the reliability models of series system and parallel system are derived, which take the failure correlation between different components into account. The results show that failure correlation has great influences on the reliability of both types of systems. Besides, the reliability of parallel system is more sensitive to the correlation than that of series systeme.
