| Summary: | Based on material taught at the University of California, Berkeley, this textbook offers a modern, rigorous and comprehensive treatment of the methods of structural and system reliability analysis. It covers the first- and second-order reliability methods for components and systems, simulation methods, time- and space-variant reliability and Bayesian parameter estimation and reliability updating. It also presents more advanced, state-of-the-art topics such as finite element reliability methods, stochastic structural dynamics, reliability-based optimal design and Bayesian networks. A wealth of well-designed examples connect theory with practice, with simple examples demonstrating mathematical concepts and larger examples demonstrating their applications. End-of-chapter homework problems are included throughout. |
