Hybrid reliability analysis of structural fatigue life: Based on Taylor expansion method

A new method for computing the failure probability of the fatigue life is proposed, dealing with uncertain problems with both random and interval variables. Using a Taylor expansion and the concept of statistical moment, the first four central moments of the structural fatigue life performance funct...
