An Enhanced HL-RF Method for the Computation of Structural Failure Probability Based On Relaxed Approach

The computation of structural failure probability is vital importance in the reliability analysis and may be carried out on the basis of the first-order reliability method using various mathematical iterative approaches such as Hasofer-Lind and Rackwitz-Fiessler (HL-RF). This method may not converge in complicated problems and nonlinear limit state functions, which usually shows itself in the f...

SYLLABUS – MCS 494: Probability on Graphs

OFFICE HOURS: 1-2 MWF. TEXT: None. I will try to point out the sections of some relevant books, which will address the corresponding material we cover. Some of these books are listed below in bibliography. PREREQUISITE: Math 310 (first course in Linear Algebra), and Stat 401 (Introduction to Probability) or equivalent courses. Basic knowledge of graphs is welcome, (some parts of MCS 261), but n...
