    Relative Behavior of a Coherent System With Respect To Another Coherent System
    (Springer, 2015) Eryilmaz, Serkan; Tutuncu, G. Yazgi
    In 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.

    A new look at dynamic behavior of binary coherent system from a state-level perspective
    (Springer, 2014) Eryilmaz, Serkan
    In this paper we study lifetime properties of binary coherent systems from a state-level perspective. We define and study a system whose performance levels are determined by its total number of working components and structure. That is, the more working components the better performance level for the system. This enables us to make a more detailed analysis of a binary system. We obtain the distributions of the time that is spent by the system in a specific state subset and a specific state. Our analysis is based on the use of system signature. We also define an optimization problem concerned with the determination of the number of warm standby components.

    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.

    On Residual Lifetime of Coherent Systems After the rth Failure
    (Springer, 2013) Eryilmaz, Serkan
    In 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.
