Abstract :
Reliability of a multistate series system with degrading and dependent components is considered. Dependent failures of this system components are defined and the system reliability function and other reliability characteristics in case its components have exponential reliability functions are determined. The results are applied practically to reliability evaluation of a port conveyor belt in case its components have multi-state exponential reliability functions with interdependent departures rates from the subsets of their reliability states.
