    Life Behavior of -Shock Models for Uniformly Distributed Interarrival Times
    (Springer, 2014) Eryilmaz, Serkan; Bayramoglu, Konul
    In this paper we study the life behavior of -shock models when the shocks occur according to a renewal process whose interarrival distribution is uniform. In particular, we obtain the first two moments of the corresponding lifetime random variables for general interarrival distribution, and survival functions when the interarrival distribution is uniform.

    On the Mean Number of Remaining Components in Three-State k-out-of-n< System
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2015) Eryilmaz, Serkan; Eryılmaz, Serkan; Eryılmaz, Serkan; Industrial Engineering; Industrial Engineering
    A three-state k-out-of-n system with n independent components is considered, where the vector k of integers is determined by given fixed scalars k(1) and k(2) such that k(1), k(2) <= n. The mean number of components of each type either in a perfect functioning state or in a partially working state at the time of the system failure and at a time while the system is working are studied. An optimization problem concerned with the most economical value of n is also formulated. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    System Reliability Under Δ-Shock Model
    (Taylor & Francis inc, 2018) Tuncel, Altan; Eryilmaz, Serkan
    delta-shock model is one of the widely studied shock models in reliability. Under this model, the system fails when the time between two consecutive shocks falls below a fixed threshold . In this paper, the survival function and the mean time to failure of the system are obtained when the times between successive shocks follow proportional hazard rate model.

    Dynamic Modeling of General Three-State k-out-of-n< Systems: Permanent-Based Computational Results
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2014) Eryilmaz, Serkan; Xie, Min
    This paper is concerned with dynamic reliability analysis of three-state k-out-of-n:G systems. It is assumed that the components and the systems can be in three states: perfect functioning, partial performance and complete failure. Using the concept of permanent, we study marginal and joint survival functions for the lifetime of two different three-state k-out-of-n:G systems that consist of independent and nonidentical components. Illustrative examples are also provided for the components which follow the Markov degradation process. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    An Algorithmic Approach for the Dynamic Reliability Analysis of Non-Repairable Multi-State Weighted k-out-of-n< System
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2014) Eryilmaz, Serkan; Bozbulut, Ali Riza; Riza Bozbulut, Ali
    In this paper, we study a multi-state weighted k-out-of-n:G system model in a dynamic setup. In particular, we study the random time spent by the system with a minimum performance level of k. Our method is based on ordering the lifetimes of the system's components in different state subsets. Using this ordering along with the Monte-Carlo simulation algorithm, we obtain estimates of the mean and survival function of the time spent by the system in state k or above. We present illustrative computational results when the degradation in the components follows a Markov process. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
