Abstract: This research describes a novel method for approximating the survival signature for very large systems. In recent years, the survival signature has emerged as a capable tool for the reliability analysis of critical ...

Abstract: In engineering analysis, propagating parametric probability boxes (p-boxes) remains a challenge because a computationally expensive nested solution scheme is involved. To tackle this challenge, this paper proposes a novel ...

Abstract: In this study, a two-step approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) updating framework using dynamic response data is developed. In this framework, the Euclidian and Bhattacharyya distances are utilized as uncertainty ...

Abstract: Spatial uncertainty is a critical challenge in many engineering fields. To date, probabilistic methods have been applied to describe the uncertainty of engineering parameters with considerable achievements. However, they ...
