Abstract

Engineering resilience is used to measure the ability of a system to absorb or resist damages and quickly restore its original function after destructive events occur. The increasing probability of unavoidable destructive events, and the serious consequences of damages due to system complexity, have led to the widespread application and development of engineering resilience in the past decade. This article reviews the progress of engineering resilience from 2014 to the present, proposing a general framework for developing resilience metrics. Special attention is paid to the five commonly used resilience modeling methods in resilience evaluation. The application scenarios, advantages, and disadvantages are investigated. Ocean engineering is highly susceptible to complex subsea environments, harsh working conditions, and cascading failures. Destructive events can lead to decrease in oil and gas production, or serious consequences of casualties, property damage, and ocean environmental pollution. The challenges and research directions on resilience in ocean engineering are presented, focusing on the resilience metric of the entire lifecycle, resilience evaluation of giant systems under random multiple risks, resilience maintenance driven by economic capability, resilience modeling with artificial intelligence, and resilience verification with digital twin technology.
