Current surrogate modeling methods for time-dependent reliability analysis implement a
double-loop procedure, with the computation of extreme value response in the outer loop …

In time-dependent reliability analysis, the first-passage method has been extensively used to
evaluate structural reliability under time-variant service circumstances. To avoid computing …

Time-variant reliability measures the probability that an engineering system successfully
performs intended functions over a certain period of time under various sources of …

In the recent decade, the reliability analysis of a stochastic system coupled with the
uncertainty related to the system's parameter has attracted much attention. Probability …

Time-variant reliability analysis aims at revealing the time evolution of the reliability of an
engineered system under time-dependent uncertainties that are best described by random …

Deterministic optimization may lead to unreliable design results if significant uncertainty
exists. Including reliability constraints in reliability-based design (RBD) can solve such a …

Performance of complicated products usually changes over time and space at the same time
and meanwhile multiple failure modes exist, which enables designers to encounter time-and …

A new sampling-based method is proposed for high-dimensional time-variant reliability
analysis with both random variables and random process as inputs. The new method …

Time-variant reliability problems commonly occur in practical engineering applications due
to deterioration in material properties, dynamic load and other causes. Since this kind of …

The traditional stress-strength interference (SSI) model regards the strength and the stress
as two continuous random variables, but in practical engineering, the strength may be a …
