Purpose The purpose of this paper is to briefly summarize and review the theories and
methods of complex structures' dynamic reliability. Complex structures are usually …

Investigation of a stochastic system from a viewpoint of studying the randomness
propagation process in a physical system starts to play an important role in understanding …

Many high concrete face rockfill dams (CFRDs) have been constructed in earthquake-prone
areas in recent years, and it is essential to evaluate the seismic safety performance of these …

Deep neural network (NN) has become one of the common choices of surrogate model for
reliability analysis of structural dynamic response under complex wind loads. However, the …

In conjunction with the formulation of random functions, a family of renewed spectral
representation schemes is proposed. The selected random function serves as a random …

In Stochastic Dynamics of Structures, Li and Chen present a unified view of the theory and
techniques for stochastic dynamics analysis, prediction of reliability, and system control of …

The kinematic trajectory accuracy reliability is an essential index to evaluate the service
performance of industrial robots. This study proposes a new kinematic trajectory accuracy …

The multiple uncertainties of soil properties and ground motions significantly affect the
seismic response of high concrete face rockfill dams (CFRDs). Three types of randomness …
