Abstract
Combinatorial techniques have an important role to compute the joint reliability importance (JRI) of some coherent systems. We obtain combinatorial formula for calculation of the JRI of two components in a generalized version of consecutive type systems consisting of n linearly ordered components such that system fails if and only if (iff) there are at least m l-overlapping runs of k consecutive failed components (n>= m(k-l)+l,l<k). Overlapping runs mean having common elements which is denoted by l. We concentrate on both s-independent & identical components and exchangeable components. Explicit combinatorial formulae are provided for computing the JRI of the above mentioned cases. For both cases, we also compare the results with linear m-consecutive-k-out-of-n:F system (nonoverlapping case when l=0). In addition, some numerical and illustrative examples are presented.
