Second-order reliability methods are commonly used for the computation of reliability,
defined as the probability of satisfying an intended function in the presence of uncertainties …

Reliability assessment of engineered structures is a powerful and useful concept to estimate
the structural capacity of withstanding hazardous events during their service lives. Taking …

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, an upcrossing is defined as the event when a limit-
state function reaches its failure region from its safe region. Upcrossings are commonly …

Time-variant reliability is often evaluated by Rice's formula combined with the First Order
Reliability Method (FORM). To improve the accuracy and efficiency of the Rice/FORM …

This paper proposes a time-variant system reliability analysis method by combining multiple
response Gaussian process (MRGP) and subset simulation (SS) to solve the small failure …

Maintaining high accuracy and efficiency is a challenging issue in time-dependent reliability
analysis. In this work, an accurate and efficient method is proposed for limit-state functions …

This paper proposes a time-variant reliability method for an industrial robot rotate vector
(RV) reducer with multiple failure modes using a Kriging model. Firstly, the limit state …

This paper proposes a novel single-loop procedure for time-variant reliability analysis based
on a Kriging model. A new strategy is presented to decouple the double-loop Kriging model …

Due to the uncertainties and the dynamic parameters from design, manufacturing, and
working conditions, many engineering structures usually show uncertain and dynamic …
