... (46%) of the total disruptions across the simulation set can be attributed to network propagation initiated asset failures. This highlights the importance in considering interdependencies when assessing infrastructure risks and prioritizing investment decisions for enhancing resilience of national...

...Jin-Zhu Yu; Hiba Baroud Modeling the resilience of interdependent critical infrastructure (ICI) requires a careful assessment of interdependencies as these systems are becoming increasingly interconnected. The interdependent connections across ICIs are often subject to uncertainty due to the lack...

... of such a system. Taking into consideration of such perturbations and developing appropriate resilience measurements are paramount to the design of sustainable, robust, and resilient systems capable of performing satisfactorily through intentional and/or stochastic disruptions. As such, developing resilience...

...Jiaxin Wu; Pingfeng Wang Managing potential disruptive events at the operating phase of an engineered system therefore improving the system's failure resilience is an importance yet challenging task in engineering design. The resilience of an engineered system can be improved by enhancing...

Methods and technological solutions proposed in this paper to alleviate such problems include adjacent forest management and periodic aerial...

...X. Liu; E. Ferrario; E. Zio To investigate the resilience of interconnected critical infrastructures (CIs), a framework combining dynamic modeling and resilience analysis is proposed. Resilience is defined in this work as the capacity of a system to absorb the impacts of perturbations and recover...

.... In this paper, we design a general resilient and robust control framework for a time-delay variable speed permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-based WECS. A linear matrix inequality-based control approach is developed to accommodate the unstructured model uncertainties, L 2 type of external...
