Abstract System safety assessment is a technique aiming at identifying hazards for the
system under analysis and showing the compliance with the safety requirements. In order to …

In engineering fields, the breakdown of a critical system can result in irreparable
consequences, including task failures and even heavy casualties. Equipping systems with …

According to the classical δ-shock model, the system failure occurs upon the occurrence of a
new shock that arrives in a time length less than δ, a given positive value. In this paper, a …

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 …

It is inevitable for the engineering systems subject to the damages resulted from random
shocks and different parts of the systems may suffer the shocks from different sources due to …

The reliability of various systems under shock models has been explored extensively in the
literature, where the constant mechanism of shock impact has always been studied …

Consider ak-out-of-n system which is subject to shocks that arrive at random times. This
study develops δ-shock model, among the variants of well-known shock models, for such …

Suppose that a system is affected by a sequence of shocks that occur randomly over time,
and δ 1, δ 2, η 1 and η 2 are critical levels such that 0< δ 1< δ 2 and 0< η 1< η 2. In this …

In δ-shock modeling, the life behavior of systems suffering from random shocks depends on
the length of inter-arrival times between successive shocks. In this paper, a generalized …

In the literature of system reliability and other fields related to the time to occurrence of an
event, shock models play an important role. In this paper, we assume that a system is …
