Risk assessment methods have been widely used in various industries, and they play a
significant role in improving the safety performance of systems. However, the outcomes of …

In crisis situations, systems, organizations, and people must react and deal with events that
are inherently unpredictable before they occur: vital societal functions and thus …

Redundant design has been widely used in aerospace systems, nuclear systems, etc. which
calls for particular attention to common cause failure problems in such systems with various …

In this paper, a bibliographical review over the last decade is presented on the application of
Bayesian networks to dependability, risk analysis and maintenance. It is shown an …

The probabilistic modelling is widely used in engineering practices, especially for assessing
the safety and reliability of complex systems. Dynamic evidential network (DEN) can …

Connection reliability, which describes the capability that paths exist between specified
nodes in a network, has been widely studied. However, the states of both the network and its …

In this article, we address the problem of imprecision in assessing the performance of safety
instrumented systems (SIS) using fuzzy multiphase Markov chains. The elementary …

Reliability estimates play a crucial role in decision making related to the design and
operation of safety-instrumented systems. A safety-instrumented system is often a complex …

Chemical process industries (CPI) are usually home to a large number of complex systems
and components required for various operations involving hazardous chemicals. The …

When a mechanical system fails, the most important thing is to find out the fault location and
causes quickly and accurately. Based on the meta-action unit, this article proposes a …
