Dynamic line rating (DLR) technology dynamically adjusts the current-carrying capacity of transmission lines based on real-time environmental parameters and plays a critical role in maximizing line utilization, alleviating power flow congestion, and...
The recent failure of buildings because of punching shear has alerted researchers to assess the reliability of the punching shear design models. However, most of the current research studies focus on model uncertainty compared to experimentally measu...
This paper proposes a reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) approach that adopts the second-order reliability method (SORM) and complex-step (CS) derivative approximation. The failure probabilities are estimated using the SORM, with Breitung’s...
In complex nonlinear steel frames, the limit-state function is typically nonlinear and implicit, which hinders the direct application of traditional first- and second-order reliability methods (FORM/SORM). A reliability analysis approach for steel fr...
To address the unclear vibration failure mechanism and the lack of system-level reliability evaluation methods for multirotor transport UAVs under complex operating conditions, this paper proposes a comprehensive analysis method that combines fluid&n...
Since the prediction of the seismic response of structures is highly uncertain, the need for the probabilistic approach is clear, especially for the estimation of critical seismic response parameters. Considering the uncertainties present in the mate...
This paper presents the state of the art in Structural Reliability Analysis (SRA) methods with a view of identifying key applications of each method and its proposed variations, qualifying characteristics, advantages, and limitations. Due to the incr...
Reliable estimation of extreme waves is essential for offshore wind turbine system design; however, site-specific conditions limit the application of one-size-fits-all statistical methods. We analyzed extreme wave conditions at potential offshore win...
This study proposes an integrated framework that combines nonlinear stochastic vibration analysis with reliability assessment to address the safety issues of cable systems under damage conditions. First of all, a mathematical model of the damaged cab...
The rock slope stability analysis can be performed using deterministic and probabilistic approaches. The deterministic analysis based on the safety concept factor uses fixed representative values for each input parameter involved without considering...
The main objective of our paper is to propose an approach to studying the mechatronic system’s reliability through the reliability of their high electron mobility transistors (HEMT). The operating temperature is one of the parameters that influences...
To address the challenge of exorbitant computational costs in the reliability analysis of complex steel structures, which stems from the impact of multiple sources of uncertainty throughout their entire lifecycle, this paper presents a comparative ev...
