Reliability-based optimal design of water distribution networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
A considerable amount of research has been carried out on the reliability analysis and optimal design of water distribution systems, and it has been reported that each of the above problems is very difficult to solve (Eiger et al.

Trading reliability targets within a supply chain using Shapley's value [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The development of complex systems involves a multi-tier supply chain, with each organisation allocated a reliability target for their sub-system or component part apportioned from system requirements.

Reliability assessment of water distribution systems with statistical entropy and other surrogate measures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
There is ever increasing commercial and regulatory pressure to minimise the cost of water distribution networks even as the demand for them keeps on growing. But cost minimizing is only one of the demands placed on network design.

Reliability approach for safe designing on a locking system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The aim of this work is to predict the failure probability of a locking system. This failure probability is assessed using complementary methods: the First-Order Reliability Method (FORM) and Second-Order Reliability Method (SORM) as approximated methods,
