In this paper, dynamic reliability models of series mechanical systems in terms of stress parameters and strength parameters are established, in which strength degradation path dependence (SDPD) and failure dependence of components in the system are taken into consideration. Despite the computational convenience for reliability evaluation by using the independent strength distribution at each load application, large errors could be caused due to neglecting the existence of SDPD. In this paper, influences of SDPD on both dynamic system reliability and failure dependence are investigated. Moreover, the impacts of the dispersion of initial strength and the number of components in a system on the influences of SDPD on dynamic system reliability are analyzed. In addition, the clamp band joint system is used as illustrative examples to demonstrate the proposed models. The results show that SDPD have considerable influences, which vary in different operational stage of series mechanical systems, on dynamic system reliability and failure dependence. Besides, the dispersion of initial strength and the number of components have different impacts on the effects of SDPD on system reliability.
