Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reliability is one of the core performance indexes of products, which has attracted increasingly more attention in recent years. For complex engineering systems, the uncertainties of geometric dimensions, material properties, and loads are more prominent. To ensure the realization of the high-reliability requirements of engineering systems, the above uncertainties must be fully considered in the design, manufacturing, and experimental process. However, due to the complexity of the problem, there are still a large number of challenging problems that need to be studied.
In this regard, this Special Issue focuses on reporting the recent advances related to uncertainty quantification, high-dimensional reliability analysis, sensitivity analysis, reliability-based multidisciplinary design optimization, reliability-based design optimization, and their practical applications in complex engineering systems.
Topics for potential contributions include but are not limited to the following:
- Uncertainty quantification;
- Advanced uncertainty propagation methodologies, g., metamodel methods and artificial intelligence algorithms;
- Sensitivity analysis techniques and efficient algorithms;
- Reliability-based design optimization;
- Reliability-based multidisciplinary design optimization;
- Reliability assessment for engineering systems;
- Emerging tools for reliability design analysis and optimization;
- Practical applications in engineering systems.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
