This paper proposes a time-variant reliability method for an industrial robot rotate vector
(RV) reducer with multiple failure modes using a Kriging model. Firstly, the limit state …

This paper proposes a single-loop strategy for time-variant system reliability analysis by
combining multiple response Gaussian process (MRGP) and Kriging model. Firstly, a new …

The probabilistic modelling is widely used in engineering practices, especially for assessing
the safety and reliability of complex systems. Dynamic evidential network (DEN) can …

The redundancy allocation problem (RAP) has been widely studied, which aims to identify
the optimal design to achieve the best system indicators, such as system reliability or …

Wind turbine blades made by composite materials (CWTBs), encounter fatigue failures, such
