Special Journal Issue on Community Resilience to Disruptive Events
Special Journal Issue on Community Resilience to Disruptive Events
The ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems, Part B: Mechanical Engineering
is currently accepting manuscripts for a special issue focusing on the topic “Community Resilience to Disruptive Events: Models and Analyses, Lessons Learned, and Case Studies.” Authors who are interested in having their manuscripts included in the special issue, to be published in September 2023, should submit their manuscripts by February 28, 2023.
Many types of disruptive events, such as earthquakes, tropical cyclones, floods, wildfires, and remarkably the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, have threatened communities around the world with dramatic consequences. With respect to this, society is asking justified questions: How resilient is our community against disruptive events? How can we use resilience approaches to counteract disruptive events? What lessons can we learn from real-world practices to enhance the resilience of our community?
This special issue is aimed at gathering contributions of methods, lessons, and practices useful to achieve community resilience in the face of disruptive events. Papers discussing the impacts of disruptive events on a community’s resilience in terms of functionality loss and recovery process, uncertainty quantification in community resilience modeling, resilience approaches to counteract impacts of disruptive events, and critical lessons learned from existing practices towards enhancing community resilience are all solicited.
Manuscripts to be included in the special issue should concentrate on a range of topics including: quantifying the serviceability of a community’s infrastructure system due to disruptive events (e.g., earthquakes, tropical cyclones, floods, wildfires, and COVID-19); modeling the recovery process of post-disruption community functionalities; uncertainty quantification in the modeling of community resilience against disruptive events; resilience approaches to counteract the impacts of disruptive events (e.g., disaster ridesharing practices, mitigation of disaster socio-economic impacts); and case studies and lessons learned from real-world practices to enhance community resilience (e.g., application of emerging technologies).
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically to the journal by February 28, 2023, via Journals Connect at journaltool.asme.org. Authors who already have an account should log in as an author to their ASME account. Authors who do not have an account should sign up for an account. In either case at the Paper Submittal page, authors should select the “ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems, Part B: Mechanical Engineering” and then select the special issue “Community Resilience to Disruptive Events: Models and Analyses, Lessons Learned, and Case Studies (SI055B).”
Papers received after the deadline or papers not selected for inclusion in the special issue may be accepted for publication in a regular issue.
Before submitting your full-length paper, please send a 200-word abstract to guest editor Dr. Cao Wang (wangc@uow.edu.au) to assess the relevance of the contribution to the special issue.
The special issue guest editors are Dr. Cao Wang, School of Civil, Mining, and Environmental Engineering, University of Wollongong, Australia, wangc@uow.edu.au; Professor Matthias G.R. Faes, Department of Mechanical Engineering, TU Dortmund University, Germany, matthias.faes@tu-dortmund.de; Professor Michael Beer, Institute for Risk and Reliability, Leibniz University Hannover, Germany / Institute for Risk and Uncertainty, University of Liverpool, UK / International Joint Research Center for Resilient Infrastructure, Tongji University, China, beer@irz.uni-hannover.de; Professor Enrico Zio, Centre for Research on Risk and Crises (CRC), Mines ParisTech Sophia Antipolis, PSL Research University, France / Dipartimento di Energia, Politecnico di Milano, Italy, enrico.zio@polimi.it; and Professor John W. van de Lindt, Colorado State University; co-director, Center for Risk-Based Community Resilience Planning, USA, jwv@engr.colostate.edu.
