Structural Reliability Analysis with Inverse Credibility Distributions

Abstract

In structural reliability analysis, parameters of reliability analysis models are more often vague/imprecise or many times intuitively illustrated through linguistic expressions, so the conformist evaluation techniques cannot efficiently lever the vagueness and ambiguity exist in reliability parameters which fetch the problem of huge computationally complex and meagre accuracy. Keeping all these deficiencies in mind, this present paper proposes a novel structural reliability analysis technique through inverse credibility distributions with the intention to obtain the precision and efficiency of structural reliability. Finally, some structural reliability analysis problems are solved in this setting.
