Fundamentals of Model-Based Reliability System Engineering

In order to achieve the hard requirement of an organic integration between hexability and functional performance design, this chapter firstly discusses the general technical framework, research scope and engineering significance of Model-based Reliability System Engineering (MBRSE). And then it provides the conceptual model, elements and architecture of MBRSE, by taking the construction of integrated design problems, identification of faults and loads with models as the center. Finally, the ontology-based information sharing mechanism of MBRSE, the process control mechanism of MBRSE based on meta-process and cybernetics, and the design evolution mechanism of MBRSE based on axiomatic design theory are presented respectively.
