Abstract: Increasingly, scholars have been recognizing the importance of designing resilient supply chains (SCRES) within infrastructure networks. However, the existing literature discussed little on the non-linear behavior of the supply chain systems under chaos environment with disruptions. To fill the gaps, this paper aims to propose a more general formulation based on the coupled map lattices model for SCRES. The proposed model considers a multi-coupling and multi-level supply chain network. We use partial differential equations to form the coupled map lattices (CML) to model the behavior of non-linear network systems from perspectives of space and time dimension under different disruptions. Based on the simulation of two proposed indicators (Invulnerability and Restoration ability), we deduce four principles supporting to design SCRES; Finally, to further verify the feasibility of principles, we conduct a practical analysis as the comparison between our achievement and previous researches.
