## Abstract

In this paper we study the local behaviour of a characteristic of two types of shock models. In many physical systems, a failure occurs when the stress or the fatigue, represented by $\epsilon(n)$, reaches a critical level $x$. We are interested in the time $\tau(x)$ for which this happens for the first time. In the cumulative shock model we assume that $\epsilon(n) = \sum_{i=1}^n X_i$ is an acummulation of independent shocks $\Ksi_i$. In the extreme shock model, we assume that $\epsilon(n) = \max(X_1,X_2, ..., X_n)$ where the damage to the system is measured in terms of the largest shock up to now. For both models we.obtain a local limit theorem for the corresponding time $\tau(x)$.
