Structural Reliability analysis (SRA) is one of the prominent fields in civil and mechanical
engineering. However, an accurate SRA in most cases deals with complex and costly …

The utilization of surrogate models to approximate complex systems has recently gained
increased popularity. Because of their capability to deal with black-box problems and lower …

Due to the high computational cost of finite element analyses, particularly in optimization
tasks, establishing a high-fidelity surrogate model is of immense importance to engineers …

Leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV) is a widely used technique in model estimation
and selection of the Kriging surrogate model for engineering problems, such as structural …

Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been increasingly applied in engineering
structures especially for achieving high demands on structural performance, but they are …

The Kriging model for structural reliability analysis applications has attracted much attention
within recent years. Several Kriging-based strategies of design of experiments are …

Uncertainties widely existing in composite structures make the reliability and sensitivity
analysis highly necessary. In this work, the approach based on adaptive Kriging is …

This study provides new insights into the uncertainty quantification and reliability analysis of
a flexible rotor system undergoing rub-impact. A probabilistic nonlinear formulation is …

Cranes as indispensable and important hoisting machines of modern manufacturing and
logistics systems have been wildly used in factories, mines, and custom ports. For crane …

Profust reliability analysis, in which the failure state of a load-bearing structure is assumed to
be fuzzy, is investigated in this paper. A novel active learning method based on the Kriging …
