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. This book provides a descriptive account of various types of multistate sys 410 0$aWiley Series in Probability and Statistics 606 $aReliability (Engineering) 606 $aStochastic systems 606 $aStochastic systems 606 $aReliability (Engineering) 606 $aStochastic systems 606 $aMechanical Engineering$2HILCC 606 $aEngineering & Applied Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aIndustrial & Management Engineering$2HILCC 615 4$aReliability (Engineering). 615 4$aStochastic systems. 615 4$aStochastic systems. 615 0$aReliability (Engineering) 615 0$aStochastic systems 615 7$aMechanical Engineering 615 7$aEngineering & Applied Sciences 615 7$aIndustrial & Management Engineering 676 $a620.00452 676 $a620/.00452 700 $aNatvig$b Bent$0974883 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910140859203321 996 $aMultistate Systems Reliability Theory with Applications$92219919 997 $aUNINA
