This communication presents newly developed mean‐time‐to‐failure (MTTF) formulae for systems with Erlangian‐distributed unit and common‐cause times to failure. These systems are parallel, triple modular redundant (TMR), r ‐out‐of‐ m , bridge, parallel‐series and series‐parallel. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
