Application of the Methods of the Theory of Probability and the Theory of Reliability to Analysis of Structures,

Abstract

This book systematically discusses statistical dynamics and reliability theory as applied to structures. Methods of calculating the effect of static and dynamic loads of a random nature on structures are examined. Discussed is the theory of reliability, which is based on interpreting failure as a random departure from a permissible range in a property space. Methods of estimating reliability for multidimensional euclidean and functional property spaces are given. A number of examples are used to illustrate this discussion.
