    Dynamic Modeling of General Three-State k-out-of-n< Systems: Permanent-Based Computational Results
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2014) Eryilmaz, Serkan; Xie, Min
    This paper is concerned with dynamic reliability analysis of three-state k-out-of-n:G systems. It is assumed that the components and the systems can be in three states: perfect functioning, partial performance and complete failure. Using the concept of permanent, we study marginal and joint survival functions for the lifetime of two different three-state k-out-of-n:G systems that consist of independent and nonidentical components. Illustrative examples are also provided for the components which follow the Markov degradation process. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
