Article A Note on Hazard Rates of Systems Protected by a Block(Springer Heidelberg, 2026-04-29) Eryilmaz, SerkanThis paper is concerned with the investigation of the properties of the hazard rate of the system protected by a block. By examining the characteristics of the hazard rate of the system supported by a protection block, a comparison is made with the redundancy method, according to the hazard rate. It is shown that the lifetime of the system supported by the protection block is larger than the lifetime of the system equipped with redundant system asymptotically in the hazard rate order. The extension of the results to a system with multiple components is also discussed for a consecutive k-out-of-n system.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Some Reliability Measures and Maintenance Policies for a Coherent System Composed of Different Types of Components(Springer Heidelberg, 2022-03-06) Kelkinnama, Maryam; Eryilmaz, SerkanConsider an n-components coherent system monitored at one or two inspection times, and some information about the system and its components is obtained. Under these conditions, some variants of mean residual lifetimes can be defined. Also, the dual concept of the residual lifetime, i.e., inactivity time is defined for a failed system under different conditions. This article is concerned with the study of mean residual lives and mean inactivity times for a coherent system made of multiple types of dependent components. The dependency structure is modeled by a survival copula. The notion of survival signature is employed to represent the system's reliability function and subsequently its mean residual lives and mean inactivity times under different events at the monitoring time. These dynamic measures are used frequently to study the reliability characteristics of a system. Also, they provide helpful tools for designing the optimal maintenance policies to preserving the system from sudden and costly failures. Here, we extend some maintenance strategies for a coherent system consists of multiple dependent components. Some illustrative examples are provided.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 17A Study on Reliability of Coherent Systems Equipped With a Cold Standby Component(Springer Heidelberg, 2013-04-06) Eryilmaz, SerkanIn this paper, we investigate the effect of a single cold standby component on the performance of a coherent system. In particular, we focus on coherent systems which may fail at the time of the first component failure in the system. We obtain signature based expressions for the survival function and mean time to failure of the coherent systems satisfying the abovementioned property.
