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 …

Condition-based maintenance (CBM) optimization utilizing prognostic information and
methods for complex systems has attracted increasing attention. This paper presents a bi …

Degradation of products in field depends heavily on the external operating environment. The
external factors, such as temperature and working load, are often time-varying or stochastic …

Inspection is usually carried out periodically to update a system state such that the optimal
maintenance policy can be determined. In order to obtain the best inspection and …

The failure behavior of mission-critical systems typically depends on their performance
levels, which provides opportunities to control deterioration by adjusting the performance …

The present review deals with the issues of ensuring and maintaining high reliability during
the entire life cycle of a technical system in the engineering sector, ie, determining the …

Most products operate under multiple stresses. The influences of multi-stress factors on
products are commonly not independent and promote a more violent degradation through …

Unexpected failures may cause huge economic losses and bring about uncontrolled risks
and damage to humans and the environment. Condition-based maintenance is considered …

In this paper, reliability analysis for k-out-of-n (G) systems suffering from interdependent
competing failure processes is conducted. The system consisting n different components …

Prognostics and system health management (PHM) has attracted increasing attention from
both scholars and engineers with interests in improving the reliability, availability, and …
