The main objective of this paper is to build stochastic models to describe the evolution-in-
time of a system and to estimate its characteristics when direct observations of the system …

Different regimes, for example, different seasons, bull market/bear market, multiple missions
etc., affect the performance of systems or products greatly in the real world. Thus, a dynamic …

The revenue of a ship company, a terminal, a port and even the whole logistic chain largely
depends on the performance of (un) loading operations inside port areas. However, they are …

Fatigue, a hot scientific research topic for centuries, can trigger sudden failure of critical
structures such as aircraft and railway systems, resulting in enormous casualties as well as …

There are two primary challenges in current fatigue load probability modeling. Firstly, it is
difficult to measure the estimation errors in the mixture model for fatigue loads, particularly in …

Tower cranes are lifting appliances which are cyclically used on construction sites. Thus, the
consideration of the fatigue phenomenon in the design of crane structural members is …
