Designing Resilient Electro-Mechanical and Transport Systems

Abstract

This internal reference article examines resilience-oriented engineering across actuation, inspection, and transport through a design-and-assurance lens. It synthesizes the allocated target literature without reporting new experiments, observations, or performance estimates. The analysis treats the practical unit of review as a physical component embedded in sensing, control, maintenance, and recovery processes. That framing keeps technical mechanisms, evidence quality, user consequences, and institutional controls visible in the same argument. Particular attention is given to how design choices preserve function under disturbance. The review distinguishes what each cited source directly addresses from the cross-domain principles used for internal comparison. It argues that credible adoption depends on traceable requirements, context-sensitive evaluation, explicit uncertainty, and a documented path for human intervention. The result is a structured reference for teams considering industrial actuation, separation equipment, and production systems, especially where hidden coupling among physical degradation, control logic, and recovery plans could turn a technically plausible component into an unreliable system. The article is intended to support scoping, design review, and evidence planning; it is not a claim of product readiness or an original empirical study.
