We consider a system subject to two distinct failure modes, ie, a soft failure subject to
gradual degradation, and a hard failure caused by cumulative shocks, whichever comes …

Reliability analysis of balanced systems has become an important research topic. In
previous studies, a balanced system only has two states, ie, perfect functioning and …

An extreme shock model when there is a change in the distribution of the magnitudes of
shocks is defined and studied. Such a model is useful in practice since a sudden change in …

This article presents a signature-based representation for the expected cost rate of age-
based preventive maintenance policy for a binary coherent system consisting of …

A mixed δ-shock model when there is a change in the distribution of the magnitudes of
shocks is defined and studied. Such a model which is a combination of the δ-shock model …

In this paper, two reliability models for multi-component systems suffering from dependent
competing failure processes is studied. All components in the systems are subject to two …

Consider a k-out-of-n system which is subject to shocks that occur at random times. Each
shock causes failure of random number of components, and hence the system's lifetime …

In reliability engineering, each component of the system, in addition to internal failures, is
usually subject to lethal external shocks. Usually, the random shocks are produced by a …

Materials with intrinsic self-healing phenomenon possess the ability to heal in response to
external random shocks. Introducing a recovery factor to quantitatively measure the damage …

A generalized mixed shock model, which mixes two run shock models, is developed and
analyzed. According to the model, the system subject to both internal degradation and …
