Compositional synthesis of temporal fault trees from state machines [PDF]
Dependability analysis of a dynamic system which is embedded with several complex interrelated components raises two main problems. First, it is difficult to represent in a single coherent and complete picture how the system and its constituent parts ...

Co-detection of acoustic emissions during failure of heterogeneous media: new perspectives for natural hazard early warning [PDF]
A promising method for real time early warning of gravity driven rupture that considers both the heterogeneity of natural media and characteristics of acoustic emissions attenuation is proposed.

Application of Subset Simulation to Seismic Risk Analysis [PDF]
This paper presents the application of a new reliability method called Subset Simulation to seismic risk analysis of a structure, where the exceedance of some performance quantity, such as the peak interstory drift, above a specified threshold level is ...

The role of bridging nodes in behavioral network models of complex engineered systems
Recent advances in early stage failure analysis approaches have introduced behavioral network analysis (BNA), which applies a network-based model of a complex engineered system to detect the system-level effect of ‘local’ failures of design variables and

Hardware-in-the-loop performance analysis of a railway traction system under sensor faults
Fault mode and effects analysis (FMEA) has been used during decades for analysing the effects of faults in different applications. Initially, FMEA based on risk priority numbers provided information about the effects in the system, but during the last ...

A New Function-Topology-Based Method for Assessing Passive Safety of Mechatronics Systems
Various safety assessment models for predicting the future state of systems based on online monitoring data have been proposed. However, the complexity and interdependencies of mechatronics systems make it improbable to predict and prevent all possible ...
