Tsu. Maheswari et al., RELIABILITY OF A CASCADE SYSTEM WITH NORMAL STRESS AND EXPONENTIAL STRENGTH, Microelectronics and reliability, 33(7), 1993, pp. 929-936
In this paper we study the reliability of an N-cascade system whose st
ress and strength follow normal and exponential distributions, respect
ively. In this system we can observe that reliability increases for lo
wer values of strength parameter (lambda) and stress parameter (mu). M
arginal reliability rate also increases at higher values of lambda. He
nce we conclude that the addition of components by a cascade system gi
ves a significant improvement.
