- This paper considers a circular k-out-of-n: G balance system equipped with homogeneous and stationary units. Building on previous research by Endharta et al. (Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 2018), we propose a new balance definition in circular k-out-of-n: G balance systems based on the concept of center of gravity. According to this condition, a circular k-out-of-n: G balance system is considered balanced if its center of gravity is located at the origin. This new balance condition is not only simple but also advantageous as it covers the previous two balance conditions of symmetry and proportionality. To evaluate the system's reliability, we consider the minimum tie-sets, and extensive numerical studies verify the enhancement of system reliability resulting from the proposed balance definition.
