Resilience is a multi-facet property, covering four dimensions: technical, organization, social and economic. [6] Therefore, using one metric may not be representative to describe and quantify resilience. In engineering, resilience is characterized by four Rs: robustness, redundancy, resourcefulness, and rapidity.
The first type of resilience engineering work is determining how to best take advantage of the resilience that is already present in the system. Cook uses the example of setting a broken bone as this type of work: the resilience is already present in the physiology of bone, and setting the bone uses this resilience to achieving better healing ...
Modulus of resilience (U r) is measured in a unit of joule per cubic meter (J·m −3) in the SI system, i.e. elastical deformation energy per surface of test specimen (merely for gauge-length part). Like the unit of tensile toughness ( U T ), the unit of resilience can be easily calculated by using area underneath the stress–strain ( σ ...
The Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) was developed by Kathryn M. Connor and Jonathan R.T. Davidson as a means of assessing resilience. [1] The CD-RISC is based on Connor and Davidson's operational definition of resilience, which is the ability to "thrive in the face of adversity." Since its development in 2003, the CD-RISC has been ...
According to a new study, flexibility is linked with living longer. Personal trainers and dietitians explain why—and how you can become more flexible. Researchers Gave 3,100 People A Flexibility ...
"Antifragility is beyond resilience or robustness. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better." [1] The concept has now been applied to ecosystems in a rigorous way. [17] In their work, the authors review the concept of ecosystem resilience in its relation to ecosystem integrity from an information theory approach.
In structural engineering, the flexibility method, also called the method of consistent deformations, is the traditional method for computing member forces and displacements in structural systems. Its modern version formulated in terms of the members' flexibility matrices also has the name the matrix force method due to its use of member forces ...
Business continuity planning life cycle. Business continuity may be defined as "the capability of an organization to continue the delivery of products or services at pre-defined acceptable levels following a disruptive incident", [1] and business continuity planning [2] [3] (or business continuity and resiliency planning) is the process of creating systems of prevention and recovery to deal ...
