Civil infrastructure systems are subjected to multiple hazards, including natural and
anthropogenic, that disrupt their function or the level of service offered. Estimating the …

One of the most critical factors in using systems is their reliability. The reliability study aims to
help understand the probable nature of equipment failure during use and establish reliability …

The deployment of complex autonomous underwater platforms for marine science
comprises sequential steps each of which is critical to mission success. Here we present a …

Purpose–Asset intensive process industries are under immense pressure to achieve
promised return on investments and production targets. This can be accomplished by …

Post-disaster business recovery is a complex stochastic process influenced by a variety of
factors. Moreover, the recovery rate estimation and prediction are more challenging when …

The computation of the dependability measures is a crucial point in many engineering
problems as well as in the planning and development of a wind farm. In this paper we …

A semi-Markov setting is considered in order to study the main dependability measures of a
repairable continuous time system under the hypothesis that the evolution in time of its …

This work deals with repairable systems with unknown failure and repair time distributions.
We focus on the estimation of the instantaneous availability, that is, the probability that the …

Non-homogeneous semi-Markov processes (NHSMP) are important stochastic tools for
modeling reliability metrics over time for systems where the future behavior depends on the …

Safety, Reliability and Risk Analysis. Theory, Methods and Applications contains the papers
presented at the joint ESREL (European Safety and Reliability) and SRA-Europe (Society for …
