In this paper we study some distribution properties of the system failure time in general shock models associated with correlated renewal sequences (Xn, Yn) . Two models, depending on whether the magnitude of the nth shock Xn is correlated to the length Yn of the interval since the last shock, or to the length of the subsequent interval to the next shock, are considered. Sufficient conditions under which the system failure time is completely monotone, new better than used, new better than used in expectation, and harmonic new better than used in expectation are given for these two models.

In this paper we define and analyze a class of cumulative shock models associated with a bivariate sequence {Xn, Yn}∞n=0 of correlated random variables. The {Xn} denote the sizes of the shocks and the {Yn} denote the times between successive shocks. The system fails when the cumulative magnitude of the shocks exceeds a prespecified level z. Two models, depending on whether the size of the nth shock is correlated with the length of the interval since the last shock or with the length of the succeeding interval until the next shock, are considered. Various transform results and asymptotic properties of the system failure time are obtained. Further, sufficient conditions are established under which system failure time is new better than used, new better than used in expectation, and harmonic new better than used in expectation.

Conditions for a correlated cumulative shock model under which the system failure time is HNBUE are given. It is shown that the proof of a theorem given by Sumita and Shanthikumar (1985) relative to this property is not correct and a correct proof of the theorem is given.

Damage Process

A single device shock model is studied. The device is subject to some damage process. Under the assumption that as the cumulative damage increases, the probability that any additional damage will cause failure increases, we find sufficient conditions on the shocking process so that the life distribution will be increasing failure rate.

In this paper we define and analyze a general shock model associated with a correlated pair (Xn, Yn) of renewal sequences, where the system fails when the magnitude of a shock exceeds (or falls below) a prespecified threshold level. Two models, depending on whether the nth shock Xn is correlated to the length Yn of the interval since the last shock, or to the length Yn of the subsequent interval until the next shock, are considered. The transform results, an exponential limit theorem, and properties of the associated renewal process of the failure times are obtained. An application in a stochastic clearing system with numerical results is also given.

In this paper, we study the new better than used in expectation (NBUE) and new worse than used in expectation (NWUE) properties of Markov renewal processes. We show that a Markov renewal process belongs to a more general class of stochastic processes encountered in reliability or maintenance applications. We present sufficient conditions such that the first-passage times of these processes are new better than used in expectation. The results are applied to the study of shock and repair models, random repair time processes, inventory, and queueing models.

We examine a replacement model for a semi-Markov shock model with additive damage. Sufficient conditions are given for the optimality of control limit policies. The paper generalizes and unifies previous research in the area.In addition, we investigate in detail the practical modelling and computational aspects of the replacement problem using a semi-Markov modelling structure.

Better Than

A new concept of ageing distribution, namely new better than used in failure rate (NBUFR), is introduced. Different properties of the NBUFR class and its dual class are presented. Its relations to other classes of life distributions are investigated. Finally, NBUFR survival under shock models is discussed.
