According to the failure threshold model, degrading units are typically assumed to fail when their degradation level exceeds an assigned threshold limit. Consequently, the reliability function of these units is defined in terms of the first passage time distribution of their degradation process to the assigned threshold.
This degradation process-based approach to reliability modelling...
