The seven papers included in this special section focus on reliability, resilience, and prognostics modeling of complex engineering systems. This topic has become very challenging due to factors such as complex physical interdependence and functional…
The operability of society’s critical infrastructures depends on the availability of electric power. Adverse events (natural disasters, intelligent adversary, etc.) occur rarely, but power system failure under such conditions has typically…
Belief rule base (BRB) model suffers from the rule explosion problem when it is applied in modeling complex systems. The rule explosion problem makes it difficult to establish and optimize the BRB model effectively. Aiming at this problem, a new…
Safety assessment is one of important aspects in health management. In safety assessment for practical systems, three problems exist: lack of observation information, high system complexity and environment interference. Belief rule base with…
