This paper presents a systematic and critical literature review on dependent failure behavior
modeling in risk and reliability. A literature search is conducted systematically based on pre …

Risk assessment must evolve for addressing the existing and future challenges, and
considering the new systems and innovations that have already arrived in our lives and that …

In this paper, we develop a new reliability model for dependent competing failure processes
(DCFPs), which accounts for degradation-shock dependence. This is a type of dependence …

Measuring system reliability by a reasonable metric is a common problem in reliability
engineering. Since real systems are usually uncertain random systems affected by both …

A thermal-solid-liquid complex operational environment induces structural interface
developing a typical coupling sliding/impact wear behavior. It results in contact damage until …

Inspection methodologies have evolved in the past decades to explore optimal interval and
inspection methods. The American Petroleum Institute has published several standards …

Traditional quantitative risk assessment methods (eg, event tree analysis) are static in
nature, ie, the risk indexes are assessed before operation, which prevents capturing time …

Belief reliability is a newly developed, model-based reliability metric which considers both
what we know (expressed as reliability models) and what we don't know (expressed as …

Structural reliability analysis often considers failure mechanisms as correlated but non-
interacting processes. Interacting failure mechanisms affect each others performance, and …

A sequential Bayesian approach is presented for remaining useful life (RUL) prediction of
dependent competing failure processes (DCFP). The DCFP considered comprises of soft …
