    On the lifetime behavior of a discrete time shock model
    (Elsevier, 2013) Eryilmaz, Serkan
    In this article, we study a shock model in which the shocks occur according to a binomial process, i.e. the interarrival times between successive shocks follow a geometric distribution with mean 1/p. According to the model, the system fails when the time between two consecutive shocks is less than a prespecified level. This is the discrete time version of the so-called delta-shock model which has been previously studied for the continuous case. We obtain the probability mass function and probability generating function of the system's lifetime. We also present an extension of the results to the case where the shock occurrences are dependent in a Markovian fashion. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Reliability Evaluation of a System Under a Mixed Shock Model
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2019) Eryilmaz, Serkan; Tekin, Mustafa
    A new mixed shock model is introduced and studied. According to the model, for two fixed critical values d(1) and d(2) such that d(1) < d(2), the system under concern fails upon the occurrence of k consecutive shocks of size at least d(1) or a single large shock of size at least d(2). The new model combines run and extreme shock models. Reliability properties of the system are studied under two cases: when the interarrival time X-i between the (i - 1)th and ith shock, and the magnitude of the ith shock Y-i are independent for all i, and when the interarrival time between the (i - 1)th and ith shock, and the magnitude of the ith shock are dependent for all i.
