Sun, H. (author), Wang, Haiqing (author), Yang, M. (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)Chemical process systems (CPSs) involve complex dynamic processes. Besides, the emergent and uncertain hazards and disruptions cannot be identified entirely and prevented by conventional methods. In those situations, resilience for CPSs plays an essential role in absorbing, adapting to disruptions, and restoring from damages. Systemic modeling...journal article 2022
