TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a comprehensive resilience assessment framework for evaluating the resilience of infrastructure and economic systems and demonstrated the utility of the assessment framework through application to two hypothetical scenarios involving the disruption of a petrochemical supply chain by hurricanes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a general framework for assessing the resilience of infrastructure and economic systems, which consists of three primary components: (1) a definition of resilience that is specific to infrastructure systems; (2) a quantitative model for measuring resilience of systems to disruptive events through the evaluation of both impacts to system performance and the cost of recovery; and (3) a qualitative method for assessing system properties that inherently determine system resilience.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate adjustments in order activity across four echelons including assembly to help respond and recover from a disruption, and find benefits in the dynamic policies from incorporating a metaheuristic parameter search over multiple levels.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate adjustments in order activity across four echelons including assembly simulation experiments, and find that the impact of a disruption depends on its location, with costlier and longer lasting impacts occurring from disruptions at echeons close to ultimate consumption.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the life-cycle cost-effectiveness of three fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bridge decks, using a life cycle cost method specifically tailored for comparing new materials with conventional ones.
