This paper provides an overview of theories and applications of structural system reliability
(SSR). The paper defines SSR problems and discusses the growing needs for SSR analysis …

Sustainable use of the ocean for food and energy production is an emerging area of
research in different countries around the world. This goal is pursued by the Australian …

The major functions of the subsea Christmas tree include production management, wellhead
pressure control, chemical reagent injection, and oil/gas production safety control. It is …

The structural system is a complex structural form in engineering practice. Under the
condition of uncertainty, multiple failure modes may happen simultaneously and lead to the …

The reliability evaluation of the subsea control module (SCM) is the key to ensure the safety
and stability of subsea oil-gas production. The failure probability and reliability of SCM …

Abstract Offshore Wind Turbine (OWT) support structures are subjected to hostile
environments, defined by highly stochastic loads and complex soil-structure interaction, and …

An elastic visco-plastic creep model was combined with the Monte-Carlo probabilistic
method incorporating multivariate copula and nonlinear analysis to investigate the effects of …

Greyness, randomness and fuzziness are three inseparable uncertainty factors influencing
the safety of a roller compacted concrete dam (RCC dam), which can be regarded as a …

With the increase in system complexity, the intelligent heuristic optimization methods have
received more and more attention on system reliability analysis. However, the objective …

Offshore structures are exposed to random wave loading in the ocean environment. The
response is commonly non-Gaussian due to the nonlinearity of the drag component of …
