Abstract: The concept of integrated sustainable product design has recently emerged, aiming to incorporate downstream life cycle performance into the initial product design to enhance sustainability. Various sustainable product ...

Abstract: A maximum confidence enhancement (MCE)based sequential sampling approach is developed for reliabilitybased design optimization (RBDO) using surrogate models. The developed approach employs the ordinary Kriging method for ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new adaptive sampling approach based on a novel integrated performance measure approach, referred to as “iPMA,â€‌ for system reliability assessment with multiple dependent failure events. The developed ...

Abstract: The concept of engineering resilience has received a prevalent attention from academia as well as industry because it contributes a new means of thinking about how to withstand against disruptions and recover properly. ...

Abstract: A resilient system is a system that possesses the ability to survive and recover from the likelihood of damage due to disruptive events or mishaps. The concept that incorporates resiliency into engineering practices is ...

Abstract: The continuous pursuits of developing a better, safer, and more sustainable system have pushed systems to grow in complexity. As complexity increases, challenges consequently arise for system designers in the early design ...

Abstract: Condition monitoring plays a crucial role in improving system failure resilience, preventing tragic consequences brought by unexpected system failure events, and saving the consequential high operation and maintenance ...

Abstract: Managing potential disruptive events at the operating phase of an engineered system therefore improving the system's failure resilience is an importance yet challenging task in engineering design. The resilience of an ...

Abstract: Interconnected complex systems usually undergo disruptions due to internal uncertainties and external negative impacts such as those caused by harsh operating environments or regional natural disaster events. To maintain ...

Abstract: Accurate analysis of rare failure events with an affordable computational cost is often challenging in many engineering applications, particularly for problems with high-dimensional system inputs. The extremely low ...
