Abstract
In this paper we consider the initial and asymptotic behaviour of the failure rate function resulting from mixtures of subpopulations and formation of coherent systems. In particular, it is shown that the failure rate of a mixture has the same limiting behaviour as the failure rate of the strongest subpopulation. A similar result holds for systems except the role of strongest subpopulation is replaced by strongest min path set.
