The survival function and mean time to failure of such a system are expressed using copulas. Extensive numerical findings are provided for Clayton and Gumbel-type copulas. The survival and mean time to failure behaviors are explored in connection with the value of Kendall's correlation coefficient.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCopulasreliabilitymean time to failureconsecutive k-out-of-n systemsArticle10.1177/1748006X2211428152-s2.0-85146079096
