... a comprehensive new strategy and technical support for the integrated performance evaluation, damage identification and reliability analysis of fire-damaged bridges. Originality/value By determining the finite element correction interval and combining it with the Kriging model, the method realizes the fine...

... use of copula functions to evaluate the performance of multi-state systems, particularly focusing on a (1,1)-out-of-n three-state system with dependent components. By applying Frank and Clayton copulas, the research advances reliability analysis by considering component dependencies, often overlooked...

... approach is adopted to conduct deterministic multi-objective optimization, and response surface is used as meta-model. Reliability analysis is conducted to evaluate the robustness of the multi-objective design optimization. The proposed method is implemented in a step-bottom square cup drawing process...

...Manjit Verma; Amit Kumar; Yaduvir Singh Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a new methodology, named vague lambda‐tau, used for reliability analysis of a combustion system, which could be used for managerial decision making and future system maintenance strategy. Design/methodology...

... for solving stochastic linear equations. As an application, reliability analysis of structures by using the stochastic finite element analysis based on the joint diagonalization approach is also introduced in this paper, and it provides useful references to practical engineers.
