STRUCTURAL RELIABILITY Discover a new and innovative approach to
structural reliability from two authoritative and accomplished
authors The subject of structural reliability, which deals with the
problems of evaluating the safety and risk posed by a wide variety
of structures, has grown rapidly over the last four decades. And
while the First-Order Reliability Method is principally used by
most textbooks on this subject, other approaches have identified
some of the limitations of that method. In Structural Reliability:
Approaches from Perspectives of Statistical Moments, accomplished
engineers and authors Yan-Gang Zhao and Dr. Zhao-Hui Lu, deliver a
concise and insightful exploration of an alternative and innovative
approach to structural reliability. Called the Methods of Moment,
the authors' approach is based on the information of statistical
moments of basic random variables and the performance function. The
Methods of Moment approach facilitates -structural reliability
analysis and reliability-based design and can be extended to other
engineering disciplines, yielding further insights into challenging
problems involving -randomness. Readers will also benefit from the
inclusion of: A thorough introduction to the measures of structural
safety, including uncertainties in structural design, deterministic
measures of safety, and probabilistic measures of safety An
exploration of the fundamentals of structural reliability theory,
including the performance function and failure probability A
practical discussion of moment evaluation for performance
functions, including moment computation for both explicit and
implicit performance functions A concise treatment of direct
methods of moment, including the third- and fourth-moment
reliability methods Perfect for professors, researchers, and
graduate students in civil engineering, Structural Reliability:
Approaches from Perspectives of Statistical Moments will also earn
a place in the libraries of professionals and students working or
studying in mechanical engineering, aerospace and aeronautics
engineering, marine and offshore engineering, ship engineering, and
applied mechanics.
