Abstract
We consider a consecutive-k-out-of-n system situated in a random environment where shocks occur and cause components to fail with certain probabilities. Under certain reasonable assumptions we compute the moment generating function of the time of failure of the system and the distribution of the number of shocks required to cause failure of the system.Keywords
