It aids in preventing crises from having disastrous effects on the economy, the environment or business operations. In any plant, emergency shutdown systems reduce the risk of harm to the working population, the environment or equipment damage by guarding against leaks, hydrocarbon escapes, fire outbreaks and explosions. The ESD system halts process activity in an emergency, ensures that the hazard is isolated and does not worsen. It is essential that there is a clearly defined emergency procedure in place when a facility needs to be shut down in an emergency. When preparing an emergency procedure for use in an emergency, it is crucial to prioritise the operations. The factory uses an Interval-valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (IVIFAHP) to prioritise activities in emergency situations. It is possible to design emergency shutdown systems using the aforementioned order of operations. It is possible to properly set up safety measures using the multi-criteria decision-making approach (MCDM). The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) compares variables without taking measurement scales or units into consideration, which is a distinct benefit. The AHP’s handling of ambiguity, uncertainty and imprecise data is improved by the IVIFAHP.","PeriodicalId":51266,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part O-Journal of Risk and Reliability","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76313382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Water distribution networks form an essential class of critical infrastructures of modern society. The uninterrupted functioning of such networks is crucial for ensuring a nation’s economic development and welfare of society. The objective of this article is to evaluate the vulnerability of nodes for Water Distribution Networks considering cascading failures. The system dynamics of a water network are included in the simulation process to estimate the impacts of cascading failures. Vulnerability metrics based on loss of topological connectivity and supply capability are formulated in this article. The applicability and significance of the proposed methodology are demonstrated using a sample network case study. Identification of different vulnerability zones is done by employing k-means clustering to perform a methodical comparison between the proposed and existing metrics of vulnerability assessment.","PeriodicalId":51266,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part O-Journal of Risk and Reliability","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88892544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, considering the explosive attributes of dust and the technical attributes of wood product processing, a risk assessment index system for dust explosion was constructed from the human, machine, environment, and management perspectives. It comprises 3 first-level indices (namely: accident possibility, accident severity, and safety management system), 6 second-level indices, and 28 third-level indices. The weight of each index was calculated using the structural entropy weight method (SEWM). Second, combined with an association degree matrix, a theoretical model for dust explosion risk assessment was established using a three-dimensional matrix method. Finally, an empirical analysis was conducted on a wood product processing plant using the established model. It was concluded that the overall risk level of the plant was level IV, indicating a relatively high risk. This conclusion is consistent with the actual operation status of the plant, showing that the model has a certain degree of applicability and effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":51266,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part O-Journal of Risk and Reliability","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76196220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The traditional safety analysis is significantly dependent on the skills and experiences of analysts. A model-based safety analysis approach is proposed for airborne systems based on the model built with Simulink. This study builds Simulink models of typical failure modes as well as the fault injection methods. The responses of system performances are monitored by traversing all failure combinations based on a state space reduction method. The system will be in an unsafe condition when the responses exceed their thresholds. The minimal cut sets of the system are obtained automatically by recording the failure combinations leading to the unsafe condition. Finally, a lateral-directional flight control system is taken as a practical example to illustrate the application and effectiveness of our proposed method. The result shows that our method has higher accuracy and the causes of the unsafe conditions can be determined by the automatic generation of the minimal cut sets. Additionally, the cumbersome work of building a traditional safety analysis model such as the fault tree, the Markov model, or the dependence diagram can be avoided.","PeriodicalId":51266,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part O-Journal of Risk and Reliability","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75206278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kernel KSVD (KKSVD) is an excellent dictionary learning method with the capacity to handle nonlinear signals. However, the choice of kernel parameters and sparse level is a key issue, since these parameters respectively determine the form of the high-dimensional kernel space and the capability of KKSVD to learn appropriate atomic information for representing the samples. As a result, it is difficult to achieve the maximum performance of KKSVD by pre-specifying the values of the parameters. To address this issue, an advanced meta-heuristic algorithm – that is, the grey wolf optimizer (GWO) is introduced into the KKSVD. Specifically, an objective function is first designed, in which the parameters to be optimized are involved in the learning process of KKSVD for the bearing train set and then applied to the testing of the bearing validation set to get the classification results. The classification accuracy is fed back to the GWO algorithm which will update the parameters iteratively and output the optimal parameters. Two case studies respectively corresponding to two common situations in bearing fault diagnosis – that is, strong noisy samples and unbalanced samples, are carried out. The analysis results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for adaptively obtaining the optimal parameters and improving the performance of KKSVD. Furthermore, the proposed method outperforms several state-of-art dictionary methods in terms of diagnosis accuracy and robustness.","PeriodicalId":51266,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part O-Journal of Risk and Reliability","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75095397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Active learning Kriging methods for structural reliability with multiple failure modes have shown high computational efficiency and accuracy. However, selecting the appropriate sample and its failure mode to update the Kriging models remains a key problem. In this paper, we propose a new learning function and stopping criterion to further improve the efficiency of structural system reliability analysis. Firstly, we propose a new learning function that combines the expected improvement function and the U learning function. This function selects the most suitable samples, balancing the degree of expected improvement of samples to the limit state surface and the degree of misclassification probability of samples. Secondly, we propose a new stopping criterion that considers both the accurate construction of limit state surfaces and the probability of accurately predicting the signs of samples. This criterion avoids premature or late termination of the active learning process. Thirdly, the sequential MCS simulation method is employed in the active learning process to efficiently evaluate small failure probability problems. By analyzing four examples, we verify the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed structural reliability analysis method.","PeriodicalId":51266,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part O-Journal of Risk and Reliability","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87527919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
