Abstract
    Consider a dependent bivariate Weibull model whose survival function is \barF\left(x_1, x_2\right)=\exp \left\-\left\left(x_1^1 / \alpha / \theta_1\right)^1 / \delta+\left(x_2^1 / \alpha / \theta_2\right)^1 / \delta\right^\delta\right\,with xiθi>0,(i=1,2) α>0 and 0<δ<1 Based on the data of both components and series systems experiments under type I censoring, estimators of the unknown parameters θ1,θ2,αand δ are given, their asymptotic properties are discussed also. A simulation result is given, too.
