The Lifetime Model of the One-Unit-System with Two Kinds of Wear-Out

Abstract:

A system at inception is endowed with a random amount of resource, the process of the lapse of system life can be viewed as that of the depletion of random resource caused by the wear-out effect. This thesis considers the wear-out process of the system as the sum of an additive compound nonhomogeneous poisson shock wear-out and a continuous routine wear-out in time t. With the introduction of the concept of random resource, a wear-out model is built. Moreover, the aging properties of the system lifetime are studied in this model.
