Reliability evaluation is highly significant for the safe and reliable service of rolling bearings.
It is to accurately reflect degradation states of rolling bearings. However, traditional methods …

Common cause failure is an inevitable factor in studying the reliability or resilience of a
system with redundant structures. Train Control On Board System (TCOBS) is a typical …

This paper proposes a new positioning accuracy reliability analysis method based on the
differential kinematics and saddlepoint approximation to evaluate the influence of kinematic …

This paper proposes a time-variant system reliability analysis method by combining multiple
response Gaussian process (MRGP) and subset simulation (SS) to solve the small failure …

The Bayesian network (BN) is an efficient tool for probabilistic modeling and causal
inference, and it has gained considerable attentions in the field of reliability assessment. The …

This paper proposes a single-loop strategy for time-variant system reliability analysis by
combining multiple response Gaussian process (MRGP) and Kriging model. Firstly, a new …
