Article A Class of Shock Models for a System That Is Equipped With a Protection Block With an Application to Wind Turbine Reliability(Wiley, 2025) Eryilmaz, SerkanThis paper studies a class of shock models for a system that is equipped with a protection block that has its own failure rate. Under the considered class, the system exposed to shocks at random times is protected by the protection block, and the probability of the shock damaging the system varies depending on whether the protection block operates or not. The system failure criteria is defined based on the pattern of the critical/damaging shocks. Exact expressions for the reliability and mean time to failure of the system are obtained, and detailed computations are presented for the run shock model, which is included in the class. The application of the extreme shock model, which is included in the relevant class, to wind turbine reliability is also discussed.Article Citation - WoS: 36Citation - Scopus: 42Modeling and Analysis of Weighted-k-out-of-n< G System Consisting of Two Different Types of Components(Sage Publications Ltd, 2014) Eryilmaz, Serkan; Sarikaya, KadirThis article is concerned with the reliability analysis of a weighted-k-out-of-n: G system consisting of two types of components. The system is assumed to have n components which are classified into two groups with respect to their weight and reliability, and it is assumed to operate if the total weight of all working components exceeds a prespecified threshold k. The reliability properties of such a system are studied. The optimal values of the number of components in each group are also determined under a minimum required reliability by minimizing the total acquisition cost.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Dynamic Reliability and Performance Evaluation of Multi-State Systems With Two Components(Hacettepe Univ, Fac Sci, 2011) Eryilmaz, Serkan; Industrial EngineeringIn this paper we study multi-state systems consisting of two components when the number of system states and the number of states of each component are the same, i.e. the systems under consideration are homogeneous multi-state systems. In particular we evaluate multi-state series and cold standby systems assuming that the degradation in their components follow a Markov process. The behaviour of systems with respect to degradation rates is also investigated in terms of stochastic ordering.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 12On 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.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6On Reliability of Consecutive k-out-of-n:G System Equipped With Protection Blocks(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026) Eryilmaz, SerkanThe linear consecutive k-out-of-n:G system consists of n linearly ordered components such that the system works properly when there exists at least k consecutively working components. This paper is concerned with the reliability evaluation of the linear consecutive k-out-of-n: G system equipped with protection blocks. Protection blocks which have their failure rates are used to increase the system reliability. The closed-form expressions for the system reliability when $ 2k\geq n $ 2k >= n are obtained when the most critical components, i.e. the components that have the highest importance levels are involved by the protection blocks. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the closed-form reliability equations.
