Explicit Results for Wear Processes in a Markovian Environment
Abstract
We consider the reliability of a single-unit system whose cumulative damage over time is a continuous wear process {Chi(tau): tau is greater than or equal to 0} that depends on an external environment process {Zeta(tau):tau is greater than or equal to 0}. We explicitly derive the failure time distribution and moments in terms of Laplace-Stieltjes transforms by analyzing the Markov additive process {(Chi(tau), Zeta(tau)): tau is greater than or equal to 0} and demonstrate its applicability on an example problem.
