Description for Multistate Systems Reliability Theory with Applications
While most books on reliability deal with a description of component and system states as binary, i.e. , functioning or failed, many systems are composed of multistate components with different performance levels and several failure modes. This book addresses the need in a number of applications for a more refined description of these states. Series: Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics. Num Pages: 262 pages, black & white illustrations, black & white tables. BIC Classification: PBW; TGPR. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 238 x 156 x 20. Weight in Grams: 524.
Most books in reliability theory are dealing with a description of component and system states as binary: functioning or failed. However, many systems are composed of multi-state components with different performance levels and several failure modes. There is a great need in a series of applications to have a more refined description of these states, for instance, the amount of power generated by an electrical power generation system or the amount of gas that can be delivered through an offshore gas pipeline network.

Reviews for Multistate Systems Reliability Theory with Applications
"This work is both text and research monograph, offering the fundamentals as well as new research as he says, "on its way to being published in international journals." (Booknews, 1 April 2011)
