The consideration of imprecise probability in engineering analysis to account for missing,
vague or incomplete data in the description of model uncertainties is a fast-growing field of …

Epistemic uncertainty widely exists in the early design stage of complex engineering
structures or throughout the full-life cycle of innovative structure design, which should be …

In practice, reliability analysis of structures is often performed on the basis of limited data.
Under this circumstance, there are practical difficulties in identifying unique distributions as …

Random set theory is a general framework which comprises uncertainty in the form of
probability boxes, possibility distributions, cumulative distribution functions, Dempster …

Reliability assessment in presence of epistemic uncertainty leads to consider the failure
probability as a quantity depending on the state of knowledge about uncertain input …

In this work, the reliability of complex systems under consideration of imprecision is
addressed. By joining two methods coming from different fields, namely, structural reliability …

This paper proposes a framework for the reliability-based remaining service life prediction of
existing deteriorated structures considering both aleatory and epistemic uncertainties …

Managing the uncertainty in multidisciplinary design of safety-critical systems requires not
only the availability of a single approach or methodology to deal with uncertainty but a set of …

Random sets form a well-established, general tool for modelling epistemic uncertainty in
engineering. They can be seen as encompassing probability theory, fuzzy sets and interval …
