This paper presents a systematic and critical literature review on dependent failure behavior
modeling in risk and reliability. A literature search is conducted systematically based on pre …

The kinematic trajectory accuracy reliability is an essential index to evaluate the service
performance of industrial robots. This study proposes a new kinematic trajectory accuracy …

Time-dependent reliability and sensitivity analysis, in which the nature of demand, capacity
and the limit state function varies over the life cycle of the structural system, is a challenging …

With the development of sensor and communication technology, condition-based
maintenance (CBM) attracts increasing attention, especially for multi-component systems …

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

Appropriate maintenance policies play an important role in improving system availability and
ensuring safe operation. Seeking optimal maintenance policies for technical systems has …

Many engineering products have more than one failure mode and the evolution of each
mode can be monitored by measuring a performance characteristic (PC). It is found that the …

Due to the complex structures and the multi-functionality of modern products, there are
usually two or more performance characteristics which can reflect a product's degradation …

Permanent magnet brakes (PMBs) have diverse applications in automotive, robotics,
medical devices, and aerospace industries. However, evaluating the reliability of PMBs is …

Civil infrastructure is subjected to multiple deterioration processes (eg, gradual deterioration
and shock deterioration) caused by environmental exposure and extreme events during its …
