To improve the computational cost and accuracy for the multi-objective reliability design of
complex structures, a synchronous modeling concept is proposed by introducing matrix …

Due to multiple implicit limit state functions needed to be surrogated, adaptive Kriging model
for system reliability analysis with multiple failure modes meets a big challenge in accuracy …

For the analysis of the dynamic reliability of stochastic structures subjected to non-stationary
random excitations, an effective hybrid approach is proposed. In this approach, the explicit …

Seismic resistance and disaster prevention for self-anchored suspension bridge (SASB) are
important, but the seismic reliability of this complex structure is time-consuming or low …

Abstract Although the direct Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) method can estimate the seismic
failure probability accurately, it is inefficient when small failure probabilities are of interest …

Methods for the robust design of mechanical systems have the objective to reduce the
variability in system performance with respect to uncertainties in the material and …

GO methodology is a success-oriented method for reliability analysis of complex safety
critical system, which existing in various fields, such as aircraft carrier, nuclear plant …

Heterogeneous uncertainties due to model imperfection, lack of training data, and input
variations coexist in simulation-based design optimization. In this work, a Bayesian …

This paper proposes a reduction order method (ROM) adapted to geometrical and large
displacement nonlinearities and large size dynamic models with uncertainties. The …

This thesis provides insight on Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) and Global Sensitivity
Analysis (GSA) processes and explores in detail those aspects of metamodels which make …
