    Reliability of Weighted k-out-of-n< g Systems Consisting of Two Types of Components and a Cold Standby Component
    (Taylor & Francis inc, 2017) Franko, C.; Eryılmaz, Serkan; Tutuncu, G. Y.; Eryilmaz, S.; Eryılmaz, Serkan; Industrial Engineering; Industrial Engineering
    In this article, the influence of a cold standby component to the reliability of weighted k-out-of-n: G systems consisting of two different types of components is studied. Weighted k-out-of-n: G systems are generalization of k-out-of-n systems that has attracted substantial interest in reliability theory because of their various applications in engineering. A method based on residual lifetimes of mixed components is presented for computing reliability of weighted k-out-of-n: G systems with two types of components and a cold standby component. Reliability and mean time to failure of different structured systems have been computed. Moreover, obtained results are used for defining optimal system configurations that can minimize the overall system costs.

    On the Mean Residual Lifetime of Consecutive K-Out Systems
    (Springer, 2012) Salehi, E. T.; Asadi, M.; Eryilmaz, S.
    In recent years, consecutive systems were shown to have many applications in various branches of science such as engineering. This paper is a study on the stochastic and aging properties of residual lifetime of consecutive k-out-of-n systems under the condition that n-r+1, ra parts per thousand currency signn, components of the system are working at time t. We consider the linear and circular consecutive k-out-of-n systems and propose a mean residual lifetime (MRL) for such systems. Several properties of the proposed MRL is investigated. The mixture representation of the MRL of the systems with respect to the vector of signatures of the system is also studied.
