Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 11Consecutive k-out-of-n< Lines With a Change Point(Sage Publications Ltd, 2016) Eryilmaz, SerkanReliability analysis of consecutive k-out-of-n systems and their generalizations has attracted a great deal of attention in the literature. Such systems have been used to model telecommunication networks, oil pipeline systems, vacuum systems in accelerators, spacecraft relay stations, etc. In this paper, nonrecursive closed form equations are presented for the reliability functions and mean time to failure values of consecutive k-out-of-n systems consisting of two types of nonidentical components. The results are illustrated for reliability evaluation of oil pipeline system.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 16Residual Lifetime of Consecutive k-out-of-n< Systems Under Double Monitoring(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2012) Eryilmaz, Serkan; Bayramoglu, KonulThe consecutive k-out-of-n systems are important structures in reliability engineering due to their applications in various real life situations. In this paper, we study the residual lifetime of these systems under the condition that the total number of failed components at time is, and at time t(2) (t(2) > t(1)) the system is still working. We obtain explicit expressions for the survival function of the corresponding residual life when the components are exchangeably dependent. We also obtain a signature-based mixture representation for a coherent system satisfying a certain property.
