ab: Summary: The aim of this paper is to introduce a new type of terminating
    Markov renewal process $D(α,β,k)$ in view of application to
    replacement problems. The dynamical sojourn probability and the renewal
    function of each Markov state, the time $τ$ till termination, the
    distribution and moments of $τ$ are calculated for this type
    terminating process in order to apply it to a lifetime model of
    replacement parts, such as retreadable tires fitted to trucks.
