Reliability evaluation of a port oil transportation system in variable operation conditions

The semi-Markov model of the system operation processes is proposed and its selected parameters are determined. The series ‘m out of kn’ multi-state system is considered and its reliability and risk characteristics are found. Next, the joint model of the system operation process and the system multi-state reliability and risk is constructed. Moreover, reliability and risk evaluation of the multi-state series ‘m out of kn’ system in its operation process is applied to the port oil transportation system.
