Abstract: Approximate solutions to the general structural reliability problem, i.e., computing probabilities of complicated functions of random variables, can be obtained efficiently by the fast probability ...

Abstract: This paper describes the application of an advanced probabilistic fracture mechanics computational algorithm with inspection simulation to the probabilistic life assessment of a turbine blade ...

Abstract: This paper presents approaches for integrating multidisciplinary optimization and probabilistic methods to perform reliability-based multidisciplinary optimization. The approaches are built into a framework that allows ...

Abstract: This paper reports on recent extensions to ongoing research into probabilistic structural analysis modeling of advanced space propulsion system hardware. The advances concern probabilistic dynamic ...
