Submit Paper » Engineering systems are increasingly complex. They need to meet advanced requirements for mission-critical fields with a low failure tolerance. As unexpected failures during the designed lifespan of a system may lead to catastrophic consequences, their reliability modeling and assessment are of utmost importance. The reliability modeling should achieve the assessment at a reasonable confidence level to help decision-makers arrive at sound decisions in practice. However, the modeling and assessment of real engineering systems often face an environment with a mixed uncertainty, due to either the inherent randomness (aleatory uncertainty) or a lack of knowledge (epistemic uncertainty)....
