תקציר	Optimization-assisted reliability analysis couples probabilistic reliability assessment with mathematical optimization to simultaneously identify failure probabilities and find design configurations that satisfy reliability targets at minimum cost or weight. Widely applied in structural, mechanical, and aerospace engineering, it integrates methods such as FORM, SORM, or Monte Carlo simulation within an optimization loop so that design decisions are driven by quantified risk rather than deterministic safety factors alone.	Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a structured, proactive risk management technique used to identify potential failure modes in a system, process, or product design, evaluate their consequences, and prioritize corrective actions before failures occur. Originally developed for the U.S. military in 1949 and later adopted by NASA, automotive, and manufacturing industries, FMEA is now a cornerstone quality-engineering tool embedded in standards such as AIAG-VDA and ISO 9001-aligned processes.
