In this paper, we review methods for assessing and managing the risk of extreme events, where “extreme events” are defined to be rare, severe, and outside the normal range of experience of the system in questi...

This paper is inspired by the work of Professors Heinz Wilsdorf and Doris Kuhlmann-Wilsdorf on fundamental aspects of ductile fracture mechanism. Risk – a measure of the probability and severity of adverse ef...

The fundamental task that faces risk managers at all levels of decision making is the need, ability, and sometimes the courage, to make the required trade-offs among risks of various nature and among their ass...
