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

Reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) is critical in improving the design objective
and guaranteeing the safety level of mechanical and engineering structures. However, a …

Hybrid reliability analysis (HRA) has been extensively explored and mainly performed
based on two categories of models. Mathematical properties on these models are given and …

There are differences among sampling data and representation types of uncertain statistical
variables, sparse variables and interval variables, which increase the complexity of structure …

In many practical engineering problems, distributions of some random variables may not be
precisely known or even only the variation ranges can be given, due to which the Reliability …

In order to perform uncertainty quantification of elastic mechanical properties for composite
laminates with multi-dimensional parameters, this paper is to develop a novel quantification …

The reliability of a pressurized water reactor power plant's control rod drive mechanism
(CRDM) is affected by many factors, such as operation states, unit performance, and …

In the presence of both random and interval hybrid uncertainty (RI-HU), investigating global
reliability sensitivity (GRS) can identify the effect of random input on the structural safety …

Reliability assessment is an important procedure in engineering design in which the
probability of failure or equivalently the probability of survival is computed based on …

Due to manufacturing errors, inaccurate measurement and working conditions changes,
there are many uncertainties in laminated composite cylindrical shells, which causes the …
