Abstract

This article considers a Circular Consecutively Connected System (CCCS) consisting of N ordered nodes connected in a circle, which fails if any two nodes are disconnected. Previous studies on the reliability of CCCS have mainly assumed that the connection between any pair of nodes is unidirectional. In this article, a Universal Generating Function (UGF) method is proposed to evaluate the reliability of CCCS where the connection between any pair of nodes is bidirectional. An example is presented to illustrate the application of the method.
