Safety and reliability are two important aspects of dependability that are needed to be
rigorously evaluated throughout the development life-cycle of a system. Over the years …

Probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) is a systematic process of examining how engineered
systems work to ensure safety. With the growth of the size of dynamic systems and the …

Dynamic fault tree (DFT) is designed to conduct risk assessment studies of complex
systems. With the development of intelligent and network technology, risk assessment …

The increasing use of Artificial Intelligence algorithms underscores the importance of large
datasets. Recent trends highlight the need for high-quality training data, especially in …

Surface mining is the world's most costly industry due to its enormous expenses. Reduced
production is forcing mining companies to automate their equipment, predominantly heavy …

Offshore wind farms are becoming ever more important means of energy production.
Accordingly, they are started to be considered critical infrastructures with heightened …

In this paper, a novel model for the dynamic reliability analysis of a polymer electrolyte
membrane fuel cell system is developed to account for multi-state dynamics and ageing. The …

Over the years, several approaches have been developed for the quantitative analysis of
dynamic fault trees (DFTs). These approaches have strong theoretical and mathematical …

Abstract Analysis of complex failure scenarios and mitigation procedures of an industrial
plant is one of the most important activity for the safety of the factory, the personnel and the …

Incorporating resilience in design is important for the long-term viability of complex
engineered systems. Complex aerospace systems, for example, must ensure safety in the …
