This Month’s Hot Topic
Using Markov Diagrams in BlockSim for Availability Analysis
In the November 2015 issue of Reliability HotWire, the Hot Topics article included a discussion on Markov chains and went through the methodology of how to use a discrete Markov chain in BlockSim in order to analyze a system that can be in several different states of usage or decay. In this issue, we will describe continuous Markov chains and present a methodology to use them for availability estimations for a system (if this feature is supported by your BlockSim license).
