Abstract:
This paper generalizes 2-state (binary-state)
reliability parameters `R(t), F(t), λ(t), and mean-time to-failure'
to multi-state reliability parameters `R(t,i), G(t,i), λ(t,i),
mean-life-span-at-specified-performance-level(i), for each state'.
By using these generalized reliability parameters, multi-state
reliability dynamic analysis can be transformed to a set of 2-state
reliability dynamic analyses. Then, the authors extend some
theoretical results in 2-state reliability analysis to the
multi-state case. Measures for evaluating performance degradation of
multi-state system are developed. By combining Markov processes and
s-coherent multi-state system structure functions, the dynamic
multi-state reliability can be analyzed. Several examples are given
