System Reliability Evaluation in Water Distribution Networks with the Impact of Valves Experiencing Cascading Failures

System Reliability Evaluation in Water Distribution Networks with the Impact of Valves Experiencing Cascading Failures

Water distribution networks (WDNs) represent a class of critical infrastructure networks. When a disaster occurs, component failures in a WDN may trigger system failures that result in larger-scale reactions. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the evolution of system reliability and failure propaga...
