Abstract: We investigate reliability and component importance in spatially distributed infrastructure networks subject to hazards characterized by large-scale spatial dependencies. In particular, we consider a selected IEEE benchmark ...

Abstract: Corrosion in ship structures is influenced by a variety of factors that are varying in time and space. Existing corrosion models used in practice only partially address the spatial variability of the corrosion process. ...

Abstract: AbstractIn a probabilistic analysis, epistemic uncertainties associated with modeling choices and limited data are accounted for, and their effect on the resulting risk metrics is quantified. In this paper, we address the ...
