    • A common cause failure model for components under age-related degradation 
      Zhou, Taotao; López Droguett, Enrique; Modarres, Mohammad (Elsevier, 2020)
      This paper discusses component age-related degradation and failure initiated from a shared cause and coupling factor (or mechanism) and the likelihood of the resulting common cause failure (CCF). For these components a CCF ...
    • An improved multi-unit nuclear plant seismic probabilistic risk assessment approach 
      Zhou, Taotao; Modarres, Mohammad; López Droguett, Enrique (Elsevier Science BV, 2018)
      This paper proposes an improved approach to external event probabilistic risk assessment for multi-unit sites. It considers unit-to-unit dependencies based on the integration of the copula notion, importance sampling, and ...
