The growth of the global wind energy sector is undisputable with 215GW of installed capacity as of June 2011 (over 100 times the installed capacity of 1990). As the industry strives to innovate by ...

Abstract: A new method for calculating structural reliability under impact load conditions based on the energy method is proposed. Using this method, the energy magnitude of the impact load acting on ...

ABSTRACT: Parametric uncertainties should always be considered when setting design criteria in order to ensure safe and cost effective design of engineered structures. This paper presents the results ...

Abstract: Aiming at the problem of computational inefficiency of traditional reliability analysis methods when dealing with large-scale structural systems, this paper proposes a reliability analysis ...

As modern structures require more critical and complex designs, the need for accurate approaches to assess uncertainties in loads, geometry, material properties, manufacturing processes and ...
