Abstract: As autonomous vehicle (AV) intelligence for controllability continues to develop, involving increasingly complex and interconnected systems, the maturity level of AV technology increasingly depends on the systems reliability ...

Abstract: The modern idea of risk-informed decision-making (RIDM) is here critically examined for all existing, advanced and, generation-IV nuclear reactor systems. Motivated by the predictive difficulties of probabilistic risk ...

Abstract: Based upon a novel control-based dynamic modeling framework, this paper proposes two new indicators, i.e., resilience by mitigation and resilience by recovery, for the resilience analysis of interdependent critical ...

Abstract: Optimal sizing of peak loads has proven to be an important factor affecting the overall energy consumption of heating ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. Uncertainty quantification of peak loads enables optimal ...

Abstract: The resilience of a community depends on the performance of the built environment (e.g., building portfolios and infrastructure systems) as well as the functionality of its constituting social and economic institutions. ...
