AB - Technical systems are important systems frequently used by applied sciences.  Proper operation of technical systems is very important. Therefore, the  statistically calculated reliability of a technical system is an important  indicator for the system. Technical systems occur in different structures  depending on the connection types of the components that constitute the  system. The connection diagrams of components can be encountered in a highly  complex situation. In such cases, the reliability of the system is difficult  to calculate. There is no single method in the literature to calculate the  reliability of a technical system. The methods in the literature differ  according to the connection types of the systems. In this study, a method  and a matlab program have been proposed for calculating the reliability of  k-out-of-n-F systems and consecutive k-out-of-n-F systems. The proposed  method can also be used for different connections.
