Abstract
The failure probability of a system in a given time interval is investigate d. Failure and repair distribution functions are assumed to be of a general form. A new accelerated simulation method is proposed that makes it possib le to construct estimates with bounded relative root-mean-square errors for systems consisting of components with frequency-different reliability. A n umerical example is given.
