Performance reliability analysis of multi-state degraded system with improved Lz transform

Yubin Zheng et al.

Summary: This article introduces the widely used Universal Generating Functions and L-z transformations in the reliability modeling of multi-state systems. In order to solve the problem of complex calculations in the L-z transformation, a screening function is defined to screen the state performance parameters in advance, and the process is simplified through the screen matrix and the screen block diagram, effectively reducing dimensions and improving reliability analysis efficiency.

Deep adaptive arbitrary polynomial chaos expansion: A mini-data-driven semi-supervised method for uncertainty quantification

Wen Yao et al.

Summary: This paper proposes an adaptive arbitrary polynomial chaos (aPC) method and combines it with a deep neural network (DNN) to propose a semi-supervised deep adaptive arbitrary polynomial chaos expansion (Deep aPCE) method. The Deep aPCE method reduces the training data cost by using a small amount of labeled data and abundant unlabeled data, and improves the accuracy of uncertainty quantification by dynamically fine-tuning the adaptive expansion coefficients using DNN. Additionally, the Deep aPCE method can construct accurate surrogate models of high dimensional stochastic systems.

A practical analysis of sample complexity for structure learning of discrete dynamic Bayesian networks

Salih Geduk et al.

Summary: The dDBN is used in challenging causal modelling applications due to its multivariate, non-deterministic, and nonlinear capability, but the lack of ground truth for brain connectivity makes quantitative evaluation impossible. Through practical experiments, the appropriate amount of data required for trustworthy dDBN modelling has been determined.

Universal generating function-based narrow reliability bounds to evaluate reliability of project completion time

Mohsen Babaei et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a method for evaluating the reliability of project completion time using the Universal Generating Function technique, which overcomes limitations of existing methods by providing accurate results with low computational burden, without the need for activity duration to follow specific distribution. The proposed method's reliability results were compared with Monte Carlo simulation method, showing no significant difference at 0.01 significance level while having significantly lower computation time.

Reliability analysis of multi-state systems with lag-dependent components

Na Zhang et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the performance distribution issue in a multi-state system with lag-dependent components. It quantifies the transmission time from high priority components to low priority components by setting lag threshold values, and reanalyzes the sojourn time and probabilities of states for high priority components. The reliability of the system is analyzed using the universal generating function as a reliability analysis method.

A real-time inspection and opportunistic maintenance strategies for floating offshore wind turbines

He Li et al.

Summary: This paper proposes an FMEA-BN model for determining the inspection and opportunistic maintenance strategies of floating offshore wind turbines. The model utilizes a mapping algorithm to establish a mirrored Bayesian Network (BN) model based on failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) structure, allowing for efficient consideration of common cause failures. By updating the failure probabilities of components using the BN sub-model, and utilizing the FMEA sub-model, this model suggests inspection and maintenance strategies for floating offshore wind turbines under various operation scenarios. The validation of the results demonstrates the effectiveness of the model in supporting real-time inspection and maintenance strategies determination for complex systems like floating offshore wind turbines.

A fuzzy universal generating function-based method for the reliability evaluation of series systems with performance sharing between adjacent units under parametric uncertainty

Siqi Qiu et al.

Summary: This paper studies fuzzy multi-state systems with performance sharing between adjacent units, proposing a method based on fuzzy universal generating function to evaluate the fuzzy reliability of systems considering parametric uncertainty. The innovation lies in two aspects: surplus performance can only be shared with adjacent units experiencing deficiency, and parametric uncertainty related to state probabilities is considered.
