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 …

The first-order reliability method (FORM) is commonly used in the field of structural reliability
analysis, which transforms the reliability analysis problem into the solution of an optimization …

Abstract In Reliability-based Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (RBMDO), the key
performance functions of wind turbine are usually implicit, which means the performance …

Given their preponderance and propensity to initiate fatigue cracks, understanding the effect
of processing defects on fatigue life is a significant step towards the wider application of …

The accurate estimations of the failure probability with low-computational burden play a vital
role in structural reliability analyses. Due to high-calculation cost and time-consuming Monte …

Accurate remaining useful life (RUL) estimation is significant in reducing maintenance costs
and avoiding catastrophic failures of mechanical systems like an aeroengine. To effectively …

Reliability evaluation of aeroengine rotor systems is often characterized by multiple
correlated frail sites and multiple coupled failure modes, leading to the traditional integral …

Probabilistic combined cycle fatigue (CCF) damage evaluation involves complex large-scale
simulations of low cycle fatigue (LCF) damage, high cycle fatigue (HCF) damage and …

Reliability analysis of a complex system is challenging because of complex failure regions
and frequent requirement of time-consuming simulations. To address these problems …

As one of the multidisciplinary design optimization methods, the collaborative optimization
(CO) can enjoy a high degree of discipline autonomy. It has received extensive attention and …
