Resilience Engineering via Bifurcation and Ecological Network Analysis: Demonstrated in an Electric Power Case Study
… disruptions and cascading failures, making resilience a critical concern. Traditional risk management and resilience assessment methods often struggle with the nonlinearity and dynamic behavior of these systems. This dissertation proposes a novel approach combining Bifurcation Analysis (BA) …

A resilience engineering approach to safety excellence in the maintenance of oil and gas assets.
… tools that lead a system to safety excellence. Resilience engineering (RE) approach has been found the suitable solution. Moreover, four system abilities (cornerstones of RE: ability to respond, to monitor, to anticipate, and to learn) have been identified to characterise the resilience of a …

Análise da navegação com ECDIS (sistema de apresentação de cartas eletrônicas e informações) utilizando conceitos de engenharia de resiliência
… system during navigation from the perspective of Resilience Engineering. The data for analysis were obtained through simulation. As stated in the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW), Situational Awareness (SA) when using ECDIS is a …

Beyond problem identification: valuing methods in a ‘system usability practice’
… top-down stages used Distributed Cognition and Resilience Engineering conceptual frameworks as leverage for exploring the data in a deductive manner. These were chosen for their functional descriptions of systems. To illustrate the importance of context we describe three models: 1) where …

Fire safety risk model for a main vertical zone of a large passenger ship
… Additionally, in line with Safety II and resilience engineering, systemic analysis of safety critical equipment and operations is thought to be the way forward towards a fire free system. Safety barriers have been adequately used in other industries, such as aerospace, oil and gas, and …

The Resilience of k-Cores in Graphs
… of the graph itself.</p> <p>We study a graph’s resilience changes – how can we efficiently tell if a graph is resilience to each of these changes? We then use our analysis to propose novel algorithms to make small modifications to a graph with the objective of maximizing its resilience. We show …

The Design of Resilient Engineering Infrastructure Systems
The concept of resilience has emerged from a number of domains to address how systems, people as well as organisations can handle uncertainty and thereby not only survive hardship, but also thrive and prosper. This is of particular importance for engineering infrastructure systems which, due to the …
