    Discrete Stochastic Models and Applications for Reliability Engineering and Statistical Quality Control
    (CRC Press, 2022) Eryilmaz,S.
    Discrete stochastic models are tools that allow us to understand, control, and optimize engineering systems and processes. This book provides real-life examples and illustrations of models in reliability engineering and statistical quality control and establishes a connection between the theoretical framework and their engineering applications. The book describes discrete stochastic models along with real-life examples and explores not only well-known models, but also comparatively lesser known ones. It includes definitions, concepts, and methods with a clear understanding of their use in reliability engineering and statistical quality control fields. Also covered are the recent advances and established connections between the theoretical framework of discrete stochastic models and their engineering applications. An ideal reference for researchers in academia and graduate students working in the fields of operations research, reliability engineering, quality control, and probability and statistics. © 2023 Serkan Eryilmaz.

    Consecutive k-within-m< System With Nonidentical Components
    (Hindawi Ltd, 2012) Eryilmaz, Serkan
    As a generalisation of consecutive k-out-of-n:F and k-out-of-n:F system models, a 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. In this paper, we study the survival function of a consecutive k-within-m-out-of-n:F system consisting of independent but nonidentical components. We obtain exact expressions for the survival function when 2m >= n. A detailed analysis for consecutive 2-within-m-out-of-n:F systems is presented and the asymptotic behaviour of hazard rate of these systems is investigated using mixture representations.

    On stress-strength reliability with a time-dependent strength
    (John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2013) Eryilmaz,S.
    The study of stress-strength reliability in a time-dependent context needs to model at least one of the stress or strength quantities as dynamic. We study the stress-strength reliability for the case in which the strength of the system is decreasing in time and the stress remains fixed over time; that is, the strength of the system is modeled as a stochastic process and the stress is considered to be a usual random variable. We present stochastic ordering results among the lifetimes of the systems which have the same strength but are subjected to different stresses. Multicomponent form of the aforementioned stress-strength interference is also considered. We illustrate the results for the special case when the strength is modeled by a Weibull process. © 2013 Serkan Eryilmaz.

    Generalized Waiting Time Distributions Associated With Runs
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2016) Eryilmaz, Serkan
    Let be a {X-t, t >= 1} sequence of random variables with two possible values as either "1" (success) or "0" (failure). Define an independent sequence of random variables {D-i, i >= 1}. The random variable is associated with the success when it occupies the ith place in a run of successes. We define the weight of a success run as the sum of the D values corresponding to the successes in the run. Define the following two random variables: is the number of trials until the weight of a single success run exceeds or equals k, and is the number of trials until the weight of each of r success runs equals or exceeds k in {X-t, t >= 1}. Distributional properties of the waiting time random variables and are studied and illustrative examples are presented.

    Life Behavior of a System Under Discrete Shock Model
    (Hindawi Ltd, 2012) Eryilmaz, Serkan
    We study the life behavior of a system which is subjected to shocks of random magnitudes over discrete time periods. We obtain the survival function and mean time to failure of the system assuming that the sizes of the shocks follow a discrete probability distribution under cumulative and mixed shock models.
