Abstract
First introduced by Michel Bruneau et al. in 2006, the critical functionality curve (CFC; aka resilience curve, system performance curve, bounce-back curve, etc.) has been used as a conceptual mathematical model to measure and understand resilience in a system or systems. This has come under critique while it has been extended and further clarified since its introduction. This paper serves to provide an abridged review of the literature and the various expressions of the CFC, respond to a critique by Seager, and compile an expression of the CFC that introduces new measures for consideration for ongoing resilience engineering research.
