| Authors: | Parkinson D.B. |

| Abstract: | Upper and lower bounds are obtained for the reliability of a series system with statistically dependent component failures. The method can be applied to series subsystems when these are obtained by decomposing a complex system. Numerical examples illustrate the use of the method |
