Two suggestions of how to define a stochastic stress-strength system

Nader Ebrahimi

Statistics & Probability Letters, 1985, vol. 3, issue 6, 295-297

Abstract: In this paper we suggest how to generalize a stress-strength system treated in Ebrahimi (1984) at a fixed point of time to a dynamic situation in two ways. In the first approach we assume that a stress factor starts and stops to influence the system and different stress factors add up to total system stress at any time. In the second approach we assume that a stress factors starts and stops to influence the system and stress factors do not accumulate additively.
