Reliability is one of the most popular tools for evaluating network performance. The fundamental structure of these networks is a binary state network. Distinctive methods have been proposed to efficiently assess binary-state network reliability. A new algorithm called QB-II (quick binary-addition tree algorithm II) is proposed to improve the efficiency of quick BAT, which is based on BAT and outperforms many algorithms. The proposed QB-II implements the shortest minimum cuts (MCs) to separate the entire BAT into main-BAT and sub-BATs, and the source-target matrix convolution products to connect these subgraphs intelligently to improve the efficiency.

While several domain adaptation approaches have been proposed to overcome such domain shifts, their application is limited if the fault classes represented in the two domains are not the same. To enable a better transferability of the trained models between two different domains, particularly in setups where only the healthy data class is shared between the two domains, we propose a new framework for Partial and Open-Partial domain adaptation based on generating distinct fault signatures with a Wasserstein GAN. The main contribution of the proposed framework is the controlled synthetic fault data generation with two main distinct characteristics. Firstly, the proposed methodology enables to generate unobserved fault types in the target domain by having only access to the healthy samples in the target domain and faulty samples in the source domain. Secondly, the fault generation can be controlled to precisely generate distinct fault types and fault severity levels. The proposed method is especially suited in extreme domain adaption settings that are particularly relevant in the context of complex and safety-critical systems, where only one class is shared between the two domains. We evaluate the proposed framework on Partial as well as Open-Partial domain adaptation tasks on two bearing fault diagnostics case studies. Our experiments conducted in different label space settings showcase the versatility of the proposed framework. The proposed methodology provided superior results compared to other methods given large domain gaps.","PeriodicalId":21122,"journal":{"name":"Reliab. Eng. Syst.

They are proven to be more reliable, cheaper, and easier to maintain given obsolescence of analog components. However, they also pose new engineering and technical challenges, such as possibility of common cause failures (CCFs) unique to digital systems. This paper proposes a Platform for Risk Assessment of DI&C (PRADIC) that is developed by Idaho National Laboratory (INL). A methodology for evaluation of software CCFs in high safety-significant safety-related DI&C systems of NPPs was developed as part of the framework. The framework integrates three stages of a typical risk assessment—qualitative hazard analysis and quantitative reliability and consequence analyses. The quantified risks compared with respective acceptance criteria provide valuable insights for system architecture alternatives allowing design optimization in terms of risk reduction and cost savings. A comprehensive case study performed to demonstrate the framework’s capabilities is documented in this paper. Results show that the PRADIC is a powerful tool capable to identify potential digital-based CCFs, estimate their probabilities, and evaluate their impacts on system and plant safety. FT was quantified with SAPHIRE using a truncation level of 1E-12; RTS failure probability is 4.288E-6 with five cut sets. Results indicate hardware CCFs are the main concerns for the failure analog safety-related redundant I&C systems. Compared with the original RTS-FT, the total failure probability of integrated four-division RTS-FT is reduced about 50%.","PeriodicalId":21122,"journal":{"name":"Reliab. Eng. Syst.
