Reliability and optimal replacement policy for a k-out-of-n system subject to shocks
Serkan Eryilmaz,Yılser Devrim +1 more
TL;DR: The reliability and mean time to failure of the system are studied when the times between shocks follow a phase type distribution and the optimal replacement time problem is defined and studied.

Reliability sensitivity analysis of coherent systems based on survival signature
TL;DR: An efficient method for reliability sensitivity analysis of coherent systems using survival signature is presented, derived from the derivative of lifetime distribution of a component to further investigate the impacts of the distribution parameters on the system’s reliability.

Reliability optimization of dynamic k-out-of-n systems with competing failure modes
TL;DR: In this article , a dynamic k-out-of-n system is developed, in which possible working conditions are modelled using discrete scenarios, and a dynamic strategy takes advantage of changing the value of k as a response to the different working conditions.
