Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Complex engineering systems, such as aerospace and transportation systems, nuclear power plants, mechanical structures, and constructed infrastructures, can be impacted by various types of uncertainties. These uncertainties can affect the system's performance, resulting in inadequate fulfilment of its intended function. Thus, reliability has become an important issue. To design a reliable engineering system, it is important to understand its failure mechanism, estimate the reliability (or failure probability), analyze the effects of different uncertain factors on system failure.
This Special Issue titled "Mathematical Modelling and Computational Methods in Reliability Engineering" aims to present recent research about theoretical and numerical studies in reliability engineering. Potential topics include but are not limited to: (1) modelling of failure mechanism, (2) computational methods for failure probability estimation, (3) reliability sensitivity analysis, (4) reliability-based design and optimization, (5) Bayesian statistics in reliability engineering, (6) applications with reliability engineering problems. Original research articles and comprehensive reviews are highly welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
