Abstract
To increase the reliability of modules,
and thus of systems assembled from them, they are frequently
constructed using parallel load-sharing components. Examples include
jet engines, electrical power networks, and telecommunications
networks. We consider the situation when the components operate
independently, but when any one of them fails, the load of the
failed component is instantaneously distributed among the working
components. The entire module fails when the last working component
fails. We analyze the survival probability and residual life
expectancy of such modules. An obvious application is to the case of
the 1998 Auckland power supply failure in New Zealand.
