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 …

Gas explosion is one of the most deadly hazards in underground coal mining. Risk
assessment has played an effective role in avoiding gas explosions and revising coal mine …

This paper presents an algorithm for evaluating the reliability and performance distribution of
complex non-repairable series-parallel multi-state systems with common cause failures …

This paper proposes a holistic approach to model the Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS).
The model is based on Switching Markov Chain and integrates several parameters like …

This paper presents a method to assess system reliability in the presence of epistemic and
aleatory uncertainty. This hybrid method uses belief functions to model and manipulate …

Abstract Common Cause Failures (CCFs) can compromise reliability performance of safety
related systems and hence configurations with identical redundant units receive special …

In reliability assessment, a difficulty is to handle a complex system with hybrid uncertainty
(aleatory and epistemic uncertainty) and dependency problem. Probability-box is a general …

This paper is devoted to model Safety Instrumented Systems (SISs) availability by Dynamic
Bayesian Networks (DBNs). The models integrate several parameters but the main concerns …

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 …

Redundant safety systems are commonly used in the process industry to respond to
hazardous events. In redundant systems composed of identical units, Common Cause …
