Mean Residual lifetime Analysis of Systems with Weibull Lifetime

The concept of residual lifetime is a useful tool to study the reliability engineering. In the present article, we consider a system with weibull distribution and truncated weibull distribution lifetime and assume that the system is working at time t. Under these conditions, the mean residual lifetime of the k-out-of-n system is obtained under different scenarios on the system. Several properties of the mean residual lifetime are derived. In addition, the discussed concepts are explained by working out real numerical example about airplane tires.
