In this paper, we present a novel three-stage reduction-based estimation and optimization
heuristics to evaluate and improve large-scale road networks' reliability efficiently. Some …

With coupled wind and wave loads suffered by sea-crossing bridges, it is challenging to
include uncertainties for assessing bridge serviceability. In this study, an efficient …

This paper aims to compute the efficiency of a complex communication system (double-
bridge). In this model, which applies the Path Tracing Method for evaluating the reliability …

The reliability of a system that shares a single type of resource with others has been studied
in the literature. In reality, a system may require different types of resources. For example, a …

Network reliability is one of the most important concepts in this modern era. Reliability
characteristics, component significance measures, such as the Birnbaum importance …

The present paper deals with real-life bridge structure and evaluates the reliability function
with the help of the universal generating function technique where the components of the …

Microwaves are an example of “electromagnetic” radiation, which is a combination of
electromagnetic and electrical waves traveling through space. In this paper, the complex …

The exact computation of network k‐terminal reliability is an NP‐hard problem, and many
approximation methods have been proposed as alternatives, among which the neural …

Modern society largely depends on various network systems such as computer networks,
communications, and power networks, it is crucial to exactly compute the reliability of these …
