ABSTRACT
For parallel system reliability, the mean time to failure of parallel system under common cause failure (load-sharing failure) is
shorter than that of the system without common cause failure (load-sharing failure). The traditional calculation approaches of
mean time to failure of parallel systems do not consider the possible effect of common cause and load-sharing failure. However,
it may result in the poor accuracy of mean time to failure of parallel system and pose a threat to system reliability. This paper not
only considers the effect of common cause failure with stress strength, but also investigates the joint effect of the load-sharing and
common cause failures. Besides, the joint failure model of three-dependent-component parallel system are established, and the
corresponding properties are analyzed. Finally, a numerical example is used to illustrate the proposed method.
