importance of components in a consecutive-(k, k)-out-of-n:f system having two dependent subcomponents based on birnbaum measure

Measuring the total contribution of the components in a system is useful for various goals. therefore, several component importance measures have been introduced in the literature. one of the well-known measures is the birnbaum component importance measure. this paper concentrates on obtaining the birnbaum component importance of the components of a consecutive-(k, k)-out-of-n:f system having two dependent subcomponents. a numerical example is also presented to illustrate the obtained results.
