Structural Reliability Estimation with Vibration-Based Identified Parameters

Reliability of Structural Reliability Estimation

In this paper we study the reliability of calculations of the structural reliability. It compares the exact reliability expression within the Bernoulli-Euler column theory with its counterpart obtained via the finite difference expression in the buckling context.

Architecture-based Reliability Analysis With Uncertain Parameters

Architecture-based reliability analysis has gained prominence in the recent years as a way to predict the reliability of a software application during the design phase, before an investment is made in any implementation. To apply this analysis, the parameters comprising the architectural model must be estimated using the limited data and knowledge available during the design phase. These estima...

Estimation of Software Reliability Growth Model Parameters

Software reliability growth models only become useful if it is possible to estimate their parameters. However, the parameter estimation is normally done numerically, and hence a substantial amount of data is all too often needed. This need is often not fulfilled by modern development processes, for example incremental development and agile methods. This position paper identifies three alternati...

Reliability - based Structural Design

Reliability based structural design

According to ISO 2394, structures shall be designed, constructed and maintained in such a way that they are suited for their use during the design working life in an economic way. To fulfil this requirement one needs insight into the risk and reliability under expected and non-expected actions. A key role in this respect is played by the structural reliability analysis (SRA). In this paper the ...
