Application of Bayesian Networks in Reliability Evaluation

Bayesian networks in reliability

Over the last decade, Bayesian Networks (BNs) have become a popular tool for modelling many kinds of statistical problems. We have also seen a growing interest for using BNs in the reliability analysis community. In this paper we will discuss the properties of the modelling framework that make BNs particularly well suited for reliability applications, and point to ongoing research that is relev...

Application of cut set method to reliability evaluation of mine ventilation networks

Providing a fresh and cool airflow in underground mines is one of the main concerns during mining. Destruction of support systems, the presence of undesirable objects in the airway and distortion of airflow are the parameters involved that would result in pressure loss, which would affect the ventilation network. There are a lot of research works about the ventilation network planning that cons...

Application of Bayesian Networks to Reliability Evaluation of Software System for Subsea Blowout Preventers

The work develops a redundant software system for subsea blowout preventers, including control logics, human-machine interface (HMI) programs, remote access and redundant databases in order to meet the high reliability requirement of subsea drilling. The Bayesian networks (BN) for control logics, HMI programs and redundant databases are built and then the whole BN are established. The quantitat...

Bayesian Networks in Reliability Analysis

Bayesian network (BN) models gain more and more popularity in reliability analysis. In this talk I will consider some of the properties of BNs that have made them popular, consider some of the recent developments, and also point to some open problems.
