Abstract
A method for modelling technical systems having a plurality of technical components, including the step of assigning a component Markov chain to each component having a Markov chain for representing various states of the respective component, at least one input one failure mode for externally triggering a transition from one state of the Markov chain into another state of the Markov chain, and at least one output failure mode to each Markov chain for propagating failures to other components, is provided.

A method for modelling technical systems having a plurality of technical components, comprising:
- assigning a component Markov chain to each component having:
- a Markov chain for representing various states of the respective component;
- at least one input one failure mode for externally triggering a transition from one state of the Markov chain into another state of the Markov chain;
- and
- at least one output failure mode to each Markov chain for propagating failures to other components.
A component Markov chain for modelling technical systems, comprising
- Markov chain for representing various states of the component;
- at least one input failure mode for externally triggering a transition from one state of the Markov chain into another state of the Markov chain;
- and
- at least one output failure mode for propagating failures to other components.
A technical component comprising a storage module for storing a data structure representing a component Markov chain, comprising
- a Markov chain for representing various states of the component;
- at least one input failure mode for externally triggering a transition from one state of the Markov chain into another state of the Markov chain;
- and
- at least one output failure mode for propagating failures to other components.
