Title: Shock Damage Evolution Processes and Their Analyses

Time：July 23-26, 2025

Abstract: Shock models have been widely studied in reliability. Most related researches have focused primarily on damage effects of shocks treated as constants after the arrivals of shocks, which may not be true in some practice. Because of the presence of self-healing, deterioration, and variation over time, the damage effects caused by the shocks may have some self-evolutions. In this talk, we shall discuss the patterns of shock arrives first, then study several possible damage effects after shock arriving. Thirdly, the shock damage analyses including modelling, assessment and decision-making are considered based on the shock arriving patterns and damage effects. Finally, the presentation is concluded and the possible future research is proposed. The talk outlines not only the related studies, but also may shed light on the related depth researches and extensive applications.

He worked at the Ministry of Aerospace Industry of China from 1986 to 1999, at National University of Singapore from 2000 to 2022, and at the School of Management of Beijing Institute of Technology from 2003 to May 2021. He has been working in Qingdao University since May 2021. He worked as a visiting scholar in the UK and Taiwan. He was an associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Reliability for 10 years (2005.1-2015.9). He serves currently an associate editor of IISE Transactions, Communications in Statistics, Quality Technology & Quantitative Management. He was and/or is now the branch director and deputy director of several academic organizations. He has published more than 170 SCI indexed papers and 1 English monograph. In 2005, he was named the new century outstanding talents of the Ministry of Education. He has supervised more than 40 PhD students and nearly 300 master students in mathematical and/or management subjects. He has chaired (was and is now) 6 general programs and 1 key program of the National Natural Science Foundation of China. Three international conferences he organized were funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China as well. At present, his main research interests are: system reliability, aggregated stochastic process and repairable system modeling, degradation system reliability, finite Markov chain embedding method, cascade failures, balanced system reliability, optimal matching, Hawkes process, stochastic differential equations in reliability, data-based modeling and analyses, etc.
