The probability of failure of the system is larger than that of either element.

The upper bound is the probability of failure when all elements are statistically independent,or uncorrelated, that is, ρij = 0 . In this case, the system survives only if all the elements survive .

4.3.2 Parallel Systems with Positive Correlation

For a parallel system with n ductile elements, the bounds on the probability of failure for the parallel system with positive correlation are as follows:

The lower bound is the probability of failure when all elements are fully correlated, that is, ρij = 1 . In this case, the most unsafe element determines the reliability of the system.

Consider a series system with n elements. Let Si represent the event “safety of the ith element”, Fi represent the event “failure of the ith element”. S and F represent the events “safety” and “failure” of the system respectively.
