Researchers have proposed a Tail-Adjusted Reliability Index that combines the Cornish-Fisher expansion with extreme value ...

Linking microbial community composition with the corresponding ecosystem functions remains challenging. Because microbial communities can differ in their functional responses, this knowledge gap ...

Units or systems can fail when they suffer shock and when the total damage exceeds a failure level. Shock and damage models describe catastrophic and degradation failures of units or systems and these ...

With a strong focus on practical engineering applications, in this book Patrick D.T. O’Connor and Andre V. Kleyner offer a balanced blend of reliability theory and real-world applications. This ...
