Simplified Deterioration Modeling for Highway Sign Support Systems by Myungjin Chae, Lucas Voghell, Jiyong Choi

“…While there were many advanced and complicated structural deterioration prediction models, the Weibull function was used in this research because it is a simple probability distribution function that has been widely used in reliability theory. Assuming that the primary factors of the deterioration prediction are age and initial installation quality, the repair priority list was developed based on the risk analysis of the assets. …”

A survival model for course-course interactions in a Massive Open Online Course platform. by Edwin H Wintermute, Matthieu Cisel, Ariel B Lindner

“…Our data set included 378,000 users and 1,000,000 unique registration events in France Université Numérique (FUN), a national MOOC platform. We adapt reliability theory to model certificate completion rates with a Weibull survival function, following the intuition that students "survive" in a course for a certain time before stochastically dropping out. …”

GENERALIZATION OF THE CONCEPT OF RELIABILITY RESOURCE INFORMATION AND MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF N.M. SEDYAKIN by V.A. Smagin, R.O. Lavrov, S.F. Litvinenko

“…Sedyakin, who is a pioneer in the field of reliability theory. He was the first to formulate the basic law of the theory of reliability, which states that the reliability of a system depends on the value of the reliability resource developed by it and does not depend on how it was developed. …”

A CRITICAL ASSESSMENT OF KASSAPOGLOU'S STATISTICAL MODEL FOR COMPOSITES FATIGUE by Michele Ciavarella, Giuseppe Carbone, Vladimir Vinogradov

“…We contend that the result, which originates from the reliability theory where exponential distributions is sometimes used to model distribution of failures when age (or wearout) has no influence on the probability of failure, does not conform to a fatigue testing with the resulting SN curve distribution. …”
