Reliability analysis using multiple relevant condition parameters

Abstract

Mathematical models for reliability prediction under multiple condition parameters are discussed. The models are developed under the assumption that the different condition parameters can be independent or dependent. Presents a model based on the continuous time Markov chain where the rate of degradation of the system depends on the state of the system and the fact that different parameters that cause system degradation can be dependent. The models are illustrated using an example.
