To evaluate failure probability of structures in the most general case is computationally
demanding. The cost can be reduced by using the Response Surface Methodology, which …

Uncertain static plane stress analysis of continuous structure involving interval fields is
investigated in this study. Unlike traditional interval analysis of discrete structure, the interval …

An efficient procedure for the reliability analysis of frame structures with respect to the
buckling limit state is proposed under the assumption that no imperfections are present and …

In this study, the hybrid probabilistic interval limit analysis is introduced to assess the safety
of engineering structures against plastic collapse. The presented hybrid uncertainty analysis …

The first-order reliability method (FORM) is a powerful tool for structural reliability analysis,
providing a good trade-off between computational accuracy and efficiency. Nevertheless, it …

The geometry of high-dimensional spaces is very different from low dimensional spaces and
possesses some counter-intuitive features. It is shown that, for high dimensions, the …

This paper concerns the application of a new algorithm of probabilistic limit and shakedown
analysis for shell structures, in which the loading and strength of the material as well as the …

This work proposes a novel theoretical framework of robust limit analysis ie the computation
of limit loads of structures in presence of uncertainties using limit analysis and robust …

In order to design the automotive components considering probabilistic uncertainties in the
decision variables, it is desired to perform a robust design process. The peak crushing force …

Limit analysis (LA) is an efficient tool for computing in a direct manner the ultimate load of a
structure made of a perfectly plastic material. The lower bound static approach amounts to …
