Reliability based structural design

TL;DR: In this article, the state-of-the-art of structural reliability analysis (SRA) is summarized, including simplifications to semi-probabilistic calculations as being used in daily practice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reliability Assessment of Time-Dependent Systems via Sequential Cross-Entropy Monte Carlo Simulation

TL;DR: A new methodology to evaluate system generating capacity reliability indices considering time-dependent power sources and loads based on sequential Monte Carlo simulation and the cross-entropy method is proposed.

Simulation and Estimation of Reliability in a Wind Farm Considering the Wake Effect

TL;DR: In this paper, the wake effect is explicitly incorporated in the reliability evaluation of a wind farm and the energy loss resulting from this effect is included in calculating the reliability indices, and three models for wake effect are discussed and the Jensen model is used in this research.

Stratified sampling of spherical triangles

TL;DR: An algorithm for generating uniformly distributed random samples from arbitrary spherical triangles based on a transformation of the unit square and easily accommodates stratified sampling, an effective means of reducing variance is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Efficient Algorithm for Rare-event Probability Estimation, Combinatorial Optimization, and Counting

TL;DR: A new adaptive simulation approach that does away with likelihood ratios, while retaining the multi-level approach of the cross-entropy method and allows one to sample exactly from the target distribution rather than asymptotically as in Markov chain Monte Carlo.

Common Beliefs and Reality About PLS: Comments on Rönkkö and Evermann (2013)

TL;DR: In this article, the authors address Ronkko and Evermann's criticisms of the Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach to structural equation modeling and conclude that PLS should continue to be used as an important statistical tool for management and organizational research, as well as other social science disciplines.

A new study on reliability-based design optimization

TL;DR: This paper presents a general approach for probabilistic constraint evaluation in the reliability-based design optimization (RBDO), where the conventional reliability index approach (RIA) and the proposed performance measure approach (PMA) are identified as two special cases.
