Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Some Reliability Measures and Maintenance Policies for a Coherent System Composed of Different Types of Components(Springer Heidelberg, 2023) 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: 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: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Relative Behavior of a Coherent System With Respect To Another Coherent System(Springer, 2015) Eryilmaz, Serkan; Tutuncu, G. YazgiIn this paper, two independent coherent systems with different structures, and different types of components are considered. The remaining lifetime and the remaining number of working components of system I after the failure of the system II when we know that the system II fails before the system I are studied. In particular, signature-based expressions are obtained for the distribution of these conditional random variables. Illustrative examples are provided.
