Industrial equipment, such as engine, robot, machine tool, energy harvester, vehicle, etc., plays a pivotal role in enhancing production efficiency, ensuring product quality, and reducing labor expenses. However, the randomness of structural parameters and external excitations can potentially threaten the operation and safety of industrial equipment. Consequently, structural reliability, which can quantify the given performance and safety level of system under various uncertainties, is essential to ensure the quality of industrial equipment.

Currently, there are still some challenges to be studied further in identification of failure modes, efficient uncertainty quantification, rare failure probability assessment for industrial equipment, and measures of enhancing equipment quality and lengthening its life. The purpose of this special issue is to present the latest advancements in the field of reliability assessment and quality assurance of industrial equipment.
