Recently defined classes of life distributions are considered, and some relationships among them are proposed. The life distribution H of a device subject to shocks occurring randomly according to a Poisson process is also considered, and sufficient conditions for H to belong to these classes are discussed.

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.

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.

This paper extends results of Esary, Marshall and Proschan (1973) and A-Hameed and Proschan (1973). We consider the life distribution of a device subject to a sequence of shocks occurring randomly in time according to a nonstationary pure birth process: given k shocks have occurred in [0, t], the probability of a shock occurring in (t, t + Δ] is λ kλ (t)Δ + o (Δ). We show that various fundamental classes of life distributions (such as those with increasing failure rate, or those with the ‘new better than used' property, etc.) are obtained under appropriate assumptions on λ k, λ (t), and on the probability of surviving a given number of shocks.

Singh and Jain (1989) have proved some preservation results for partial orderings of life distributions assuming that shocks occur according to a homogeneous Poisson process. It is shown that their results hold under less restrictive conditions.

In this paper we study a stochastic ordering namely alternate probability generating function (a.p.g.f .... ) ordering and its properties. The life distribution H(t) of a device subject to shocks governed by a Poisson process is considered as a function of the probabilities Pk of surviving the first k shocks. Various properties of the discrete failure distribution Pk are shown to be reflected in corresponding properties of the continuous life distribution H(t). A certain cumulative damage model and various applications of these models in reliability modeling are also considered.
