Reliability of Parallel Systems under Imposed Uniform Strain
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An imposed strain approach is used for the reliability analysis of brittle parallel systems with arbitrary stress‐strain behavior of its components. It leads to a formal description of the failure event as a parallel system. ...

Reliability of Systems under Renewal Pulse Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The mean up‐crossing rate of simple sums of rectangular‐wave renewal load processes frequently used as suitable models for occupancy loading is calculated for processes having Gaussian, auto‐ and cross‐correlated amplitudes. ...
