Abstract: This paper proposes the time-dependent reliability model of structures under different stochastic loads based on the stress–strength interference (SSI) model and probabilistic statistical theory. First, the different ...

Abstract: The computer program called Solar_PVHFC has been modified to model a compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) that uses photovoltaic cells to produce electrical energy. This program was used to study the effects of concentration ...

Abstract: The Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) can provide high reliability evaluation accuracy. However, the efficiency of the crude MCS is quite low, in large part because it is computationally expensive to evaluate a very small failure ...

Abstract: The failure rate of dynamic systems with random parameters is time-varying even for linear systems excited by a stationary random input. In this paper, we propose a simulation-based method to estimate two types (type I and ...

Abstract: This paper proposes the active learning Kriging (ALK)-based reliability method for high-cycle fatigue reliability analysis of aero-engine gears. Uncertainties to affect the reliability of aero-engine gears are quantified ...

Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) has made enormous progress over the past decade, as it is capable of producing complex parts with significantly fewer fabrication constraints compared with existing manufacturing technologies ...
