RISComplementary Intersection Method for System Reliability Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Although researchers desire to evaluate system reliability accurately and efficiently over the years, little progress has been made on system reliability analysis. Up to now, bound methods for ...
Resilience-Driven System Design of Complex Engineered Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Most engineered systems are designed with a passive and fixed design capacity and, therefore, may become unreliable in the presence of adverse events. Currently, most engineered systems are ...
A Generalized Complementary Intersection Method (GCIM) for System Reliability Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a Generalized Complementary Intersection Method (GCIM) that can predict system reliability for series, parallel, and mixed systems. The GCIM is an extension of the original ...
Random Field Characterization Considering Statistical Dependence for Probability Analysis and Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The proper orthogonal decomposition method has been employed to extract the important field signatures of random field observed in an engineering product or process. Our preliminary study found ...
An Investigation of Nonlinearity of Reliability-Based Design Optimization Approaches
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Because deterministic optimum designs obtained without taking uncertainty into account could lead to unreliable designs, a reliability-based approach to design optimization is preferable using a ...
Bayesian Reliability Analysis With Evolving, Insufficient, and Subjective Data Sets
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a new paradigm of system reliability prediction that enables the use of evolving, insufficient, and subjective data sets. The data sets can be acquired from expert knowledge, ...
Possibility-Based Design Optimization Method for Design Problems With Both Statistical and Fuzzy Input Data
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The reliability based design optimization (RBDO) method is prevailing in stochastic structural design optimization by assuming the amount of input data is sufficient enough to create accurate ...
Variation Propagation Analysis on Compliant Assemblies Considering Contact Interaction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Dimensional variation is inherent to any manufacturing process. In order to minimize its impact on assembly products it is important to understand how the variation propagates through the assembly ...
Integration of Possibility-Based Optimization and Robust Design for Epistemic Uncertainty
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In practical engineering applications, there exist two different types of uncertainties: aleatory and epistemic uncertainties. This study attempts to develop a robust design optimization with ...
Hybrid Analysis Method for Reliability-Based Design Optimization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) involves evaluation of probabilistic constraints, which can be done in two different ways, the reliability index approach (RIA) and the performance ...
