Article Citation - WoS: 5Component Importance in Coherent Systems With Exchangeable Components(Cambridge Univ Press, 2015) Eryilmaz, SerkanThis paper is concerned with the Birnbaum importance measure of a component in a binary coherent system. A representation for the Birnbaum importance of a component is obtained when the system consists of exchangeable dependent components. The results are closely related to the concept of the signature of a coherent system. Some examples are presented to illustrate the results.Article Citation - WoS: 60Citation - Scopus: 64Computing Optimal Replacement Time and Mean Residual Life in Reliability Shock Models(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2017) Eryilmaz, SerkanIn this paper, matrix-based methods are presented to compute the optimal replacement time and mean residual lifetime of a system under particular class of reliability shock models. The times between successive shocks are assumed to have a common continuous phase-type distribution. The system's lifetime is represented as a compound random variable and some properties of phase-type distributions are utilized. Extreme shock model, run shock model, and generalized extreme shock model are shown to be the members of this class. Graphical illustrations and numerical examples are presented for the run shock model when the interarrival times between shocks follow Erlang distribution. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

We study a system from a reliability point of view under these two shock models. According to the first model, the system fails if the cumulative shock magnitude exceeds a critical level, while in the second model the failure occurs when the cumulative effect of the shocks in consecutive periods is above a critical level. The shock occurrences over discrete time periods are assumed to be Markovian. We obtain expressions for the failure time distributions of the system under the two model. Illustrative computational results are presented for the survival probabilities and mean time to failure values of the system.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Reliability Analysis of Systems With Components Having Two Dependent Subcomponents(Taylor & Francis inc, 2017) Eryilmaz, SerkanIn this article, a system that consists of n independent components each having two dependent subcomponents (A(i), B-i), i = 1, ... ,n is considered. The system is assumed to compose of components that have two correlated subcomponents (A(i), B-i), and functions iff both systems of subcomponents A(1),A(2), ... ,A(n) and B-1, B-2, ... , B-n work under certain structural rules. The expressions for reiiabiiity and mean time to failure of such systems are obtained. A sufficient condition to compare two systems of bivariate components in terms of stochastic ordering is also ordering presented.Article Citation - WoS: 28Citation - Scopus: 33System Reliability Under Δ-Shock Model(Taylor & Francis inc, 2018) Tuncel, Altan; Eryilmaz, Serkandelta-shock model is one of the widely studied shock models in reliability. Under this model, the system fails when the time between two consecutive shocks falls below a fixed threshold . In this paper, the survival function and the mean time to failure of the system are obtained when the times between successive shocks follow proportional hazard rate model.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 15Dynamic Reliability Evaluation of Consecutive-K System(Taylor & Francis inc, 2011) Eryilmaz, Serkan; Kan, CihangirA consecutive k-within-m-out-of-n:F system consists of n linearly ordered components and fails if and only if there are m consecutive components which include among them at least k failed components. This system model generalizes both consecutive k-out-of-n:F and k-out-of-n:F systems. In this article, we study the dynamic reliability properties of consecutive k-within-m-out-of-n:F system consisting of exchangeable dependent components. We also obtain some stochastic ordering results and use them to get simple approximation formulae for the survival function and mean time to failure of this system.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 15Dynamic Modeling of General Three-State k-out-of-n< Systems: Permanent-Based Computational Results(Elsevier Science Bv, 2014) Eryilmaz, Serkan; Xie, MinThis paper is concerned with dynamic reliability analysis of three-state k-out-of-n:G systems. It is assumed that the components and the systems can be in three states: perfect functioning, partial performance and complete failure. Using the concept of permanent, we study marginal and joint survival functions for the lifetime of two different three-state k-out-of-n:G systems that consist of independent and nonidentical components. Illustrative examples are also provided for the components which follow the Markov degradation process. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

The components and the systems are assumed to be in three states: perfect functioning, partial performance, and complete failure. Survival functions of such systems are studied in different state subsets. It is shown that the survival function of a three-state system with a general structure can be represented as a mixture of the survival functions of the three-state k-out-of-n:G systems. The results are illustrated for the three-state consecutive-k-out-of-n:G systems whose components degrade according to a Markov process.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 23On Residual Lifetime of Coherent Systems After the rth Failure(Springer, 2013) Eryilmaz, SerkanIn this article we study the residual lifetime of a coherent system after the rth failure, i.e. the time elapsed from the rth failure until the system failure given that the system operates at the time of the rth failure. We provide a mixture representation for the corresponding residual lifetime distribution in terms of signature. We also obtain some stochastic ordering results for the residual lifetimes.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 16Joint Reliability Importance in Coherent Systems With Exchangeable Dependent Components(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2016) Eryilmaz, Serkan; Oruc, Ozlem Ege; Oger, VolkanIn this paper, a general formula for computing the joint reliability importance of two components is obtained for a binary coherent system that consists of exchangeable dependent components. Using the new formula, the joint reliability importance can be easily calculated if the path sets of the system are known. As a special case, an expression for the joint reliability importance of two components is also obtained for a system consisting of independent and identical components. Illustrative numerical results are presented to compare the joint reliability importance of two components in the bridge system for the two cases when the components are exchangeable dependent and when the components are independent and identical.
