Traditional structural uncertainty analysis is mainly based on probability models and
requires the establishment of accurate parametric probability distribution functions using …

In many parts of the world, access to basic electricity services remains a significant
challenge. The status quo mode of electrification is central grid extension; however, in many …

In this paper, based on the Kriging, an efficient minimum limit-state-surface search strategy
is proposed for hybrid reliability analysis with both random and multi-super-ellipsoidal …

In this paper, a new reliability analysis method for engineering structures is developed
based on probability and probability box (p-box) models. Random variable distributions are …

A multi-objective reliability-based design optimization method is proposed based on
probabilistic and ellipsoidal convex hybrid model. With reliability index as the constraint, a …

Compared with the interval model, the ellipsoidal convex model can describe the correlation
of the uncertain parameters through a multidimensional ellipsoid, and whereby excludes …

Deterministic optimization has been successfully applied to a series of design problems of
square thin-walled energy absorption tubes and to a certain extent has fulfilled great …

This paper presents a hybrid reliability analysis method for structures involving random and
interval variables. Firstly, the original performance function is approximated as the product of …

Off-grid systems play a prominent role in rural electrification planning. The problem of
optimizing the generation design of a single off-grid system has received a significant …

In many parts of the world, access to basic electricity services remains a significant
