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 …

Reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) is an active field of research with an ever
increasing number of contributions. Numerous methods have been proposed for the solution …

Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems installed on long-span bridges can obtain
environmental data around them. To deeply mine the correlation between types of data, this …

We present a regression technique for data-driven problems based on polynomial chaos
expansion (PCE). PCE is a popular technique in the field of uncertainty quantification (UQ) …

Reliability evaluation of a multi-state system (MSS) with dependent components makes
much practical sense because the independent identical assumption (iid) assumption …

Efficient assessment of mechanical system reliability subject to arbitrary probability
distributions and dependent input parameters signifies an important yet challenging task. To …

Polynomial chaos expansions (PCE) are well-suited to quantifying uncertainty in models
parameterized by independent random variables. The assumption of independence leads to …

Advanced stochastic programming-based power system operations planning requires wind
power forecast in the form of scenarios. Generating wind power scenarios reflecting the …

Voltage unbalance (VU) in an active distribution network (ADN) could result in increased
network losses and even system instability. The additional uncertainties embedded in ADN …

A modern product usually shows multiple performance characteristics that degrade
simultaneously. It is quite common that these degradation processes are dependent due to …
