The aleatory and epistemic uncertainties coming from various sources have significant
impacts on the accuracy of risk estimates for structures under dynamic excitations. This …

There is an increasing interest in the reliability of complex engineering systems, especially
in the systems' through-life risk analysis. A complex system, like the civil aircraft engine …

The reliability of high-reliable and long-lifespan products in the presence of competing risks
are commonly derived based on a known acceleration model and a latent independent …

In repairable systems, a fundamental aspect to be considered is to predict the reliability of
the systems under study. Establishing reliability models for multiple repairable systems …

The Weibull distribution plays an important role in reliability and quality control monitoring.
This model has been widely used to describe the process capability index (PCI) when data …

In this paper, inference is discussed for left-truncated and right-censored (LTRC) competing
risks data. For modelling the dependent competing risks variables, a flexible bivariate …

Examples of units with two performance characteristics that degrade over time are
ubiquitous in reliability engineering. In this article, we develop a flexible model for bivariate …

In this paper, we propose a novel frailty model for modeling unobserved heterogeneity
present in survival data. Our model is derived by using a weighted Lindley distribution as the …

Piecewise models have gained popularity as a useful tool in reliability and quality
control/monitoring, particularly when the process data deviates from a normal distribution. In …

A one-shot device, such as an automobile airbag, electro-explosive unit or munition, is a
product that can be used only once. Its actual lifetime is unobservable, rendering the …
