The contrast between Mindy Scheier’s $4,200 designer gown and the conventional pieces from retailers such as JCPenney, Kohl’s, and Zappos that were adapted to clothe her disabled models was on display at her New York Fashion Week–adjacent “A Fashion Revolution” runway show. In its eighth year, “A Fashion Revolution” began as a gala to showcase Runway of Dreams, the charity she founded in 2014 to be the preeminent design house for what’s known as adaptive apparel.Runway of Dreams was conceived as

Engineering structures are often subjected to the influences of performance deterioration and multiple hazards during their service lives, and consequently may suffer from damage/failure as a result of external loads. Structural reliability and resilience assessment is a powerful tool for quantifying the structural ability to withstand these environmental or operational attacks. This paper proposes new formulas for structural time-dependent reliability and resilience analyses in the presence of multiple hazards, which are functions of the duration of the reference period of interest. The joint impacts of nonstationarities in multiple hazards due to a changing environment, as well as the deterioration of structural performance, are explicitly incorporated. The correlation between the structural resistances/capacities associated with different hazard types is modeled by employing a copula function. It is observed that, under the context of multiple hazards and aging effects, the time-dep
