New math solves hidden failure patterns in complex systems

Researchers have developed a method to predict how systems fail when components depend on each other in sequence—a problem that traditional reliability models miss. For industries managing critical infrastructure, this could mean better predictions of cascading failures and smarter maintenance strategies that prevent costly downtime.
