Reliability Engineering & System Safety

Journal Title：Reliability Engineering & System Safety

Reliability Engineering and System Safety is an international journal devoted to the development and application of methods for the enhancement of the safety and reliability of complex technological systems, like nuclear power plants, chemical plants, hazardous waste facilities, space systems, offshore and maritime systems, transportation systems, constructed infrastructure and manufacturing plants. The journal normally publishes only articles that involve the analysis of substantive problems related to the reliability of complex systems or present techniques and/or theoretical results that have a discernable relationship to the solution of such problems. An important aim is to achieve a balance between academic material and practical applications.

The following topics are within the scope of the journal: methods for reliability and probabilistic safety assessment; model and parameter uncertainties; aleatory and epistemic uncertainties, sensitivity analysis, data collection and analysis; engineering judgement and expert opinions; human reliability; test and maintenance policies; models for ageing and life extension; systems analysis of the impact of earthquakes, fires, tornadoes, winds, floods, etc.; codes, standards and safety criteria; operator decision support systems; software reliability; methods and applications of automatic fault detection and diagnosis; dynamic reliability; design and evaluation of man machine systems and human interfaces; design innovation for safety and reliability; safety culture; accident investigation and management. The journal does not normally publish articles that involve fuzzy sets and related non-probabilistic methods unless they contribute significantly to the solution of substantive problems related to the analysis of real systems.

The journal will contain contributed material in the form of original research papers, review articles, industrial case studies, safety recommendations, and short communications.

Reliability Engineering and System Safety 是一本国际期刊，致力于开发和应用提高复杂技术系统（如核电站、化工厂、危险废物设施、空间系统、海上和海事系统、运输系统、已建成的基础设施和制造工厂。该期刊通常只发表涉及分析与复杂系统的可靠性相关的实质性问题或与解决此类问题有明显关系的现有技术和/或理论结果的文章。一个重要的目标是在学术材料和实际应用之间取得平衡。

以下主题在期刊范围内：可靠性和概率安全评估方法；模型和参数的不确定性；偶然和认知不确定性、敏感性分析、数据收集和分析；工程判断和专家意见；人的可靠性；测试和维护政策；老化和寿命延长模型；地震、火灾、龙卷风、风、洪水等影响的系统分析；规范、标准和安全标准；运营商决策支持系统；软件可靠性；故障自动检测与诊断方法及应用；动态可靠性；人机系统和人机界面的设计和评估；安全性和可靠性的设计创新；安全文化；事故调查与管理。该杂志通常不会发表涉及模糊集和相关非概率方法的文章，除非它们对解决与实际系统分析相关的实质性问题有重大贡献。

该期刊将包含原创研究论文、评论文章、行业案例研究、安全建议和简短交流形式的贡献材料。
