Safety and Reliability Modeling and Its Applications

Safety and Reliability Modeling and Its Applications combines work by leading researchers in academia and industry, in engineering, statistics, and mathematics to provide innovative methods and solutions for this fast-moving field. Safety and reliability analysis is one of the most multidimensional topics in systems reliability engineering nowadays. Its rapid development has created many opportunities and challenges for both industrialists and academics, and has completely changed the global design and systems engineering environment. More of the modelling tasks can now be undertaken within a computer environment using simulation and virtual reality technologies, leading to an increase in the number and variety of research studies focusing on safety and reliability engineering.

This book addresses these important recent developments, presenting new theoretical issues that were not previously presented in the literature, as well as solutions to important practical problems and case studies illustrating how to apply the methodology.

Drawing on world-leading research from interdisciplinary authors, this book will help readers with a range of backgrounds to engage with this important topic, and find the solutions they need for their work.
