An Algorithmic Approach for the Dynamic Reliability Analysis of Non-Repairable Multi-State Weighted k-out-of-n< System
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2014) Eryilmaz, Serkan; Bozbulut, Ali Riza
In this paper, we study a multi-state weighted k-out-of-n:G system model in a dynamic setup. In particular, we study the random time spent by the system with a minimum performance level of k. Our method is based on ordering the lifetimes of the system's components in different state subsets. Using this ordering along with the Monte-Carlo simulation algorithm, we obtain estimates of the mean and survival function of the time spent by the system in state k or above. We present illustrative computational results when the degradation in the components follows a Markov process. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
