...Shui Yu; Peng Guo; Xiao Wu Life-cycle reliability analysis can effectively estimate and present the changes in the state of safety for structures under dynamic uncertainties during their lifecycle. The first-crossing approach is an efficient way to evaluate time-variant reliability-based...

... such as Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) [ 6 – 8 ] and importance sampling [ 9 – 11 ] have been developed to enhance the accuracy of reliability estimations, which are commonly integrated with surrogate modeling techniques [ 12 – 15 ] for alleviating the computational burden. LSTM time-variant reliability...

...Shui Yu; Zhonglai Wang Due to the uncertainties and the dynamic parameters from design, manufacturing, and working conditions, many engineering structures usually show uncertain and dynamic properties. This paper proposes a novel time-variant reliability analysis method using failure processes...

.... Assoc. Editor: Xiaoping Du. 24 08 2013 12 05 2014 Time-variant reliability problems caused by deterioration in material properties, dynamic load uncertainty, and other causes are widespread among practical engineering applications. This study proposes a novel time-variant...
