Phase-type distributions have been found to be very useful in reliability,
queueing theory, and some other operational research applications. In this
work, we de_ne a new mixed shock model and study lifetime properties of the
corresponding system using phase-type distributions. The system under concern
fails upon the occurrence of k consecutive shocks of size at least d1 or a
single large shock of size at least d2, d1 < d2. In particular, using
closure properties of phase-type distributions, we obtain survival function and
mean time to failure of the system. Optimal replacement time is also studied.
