Reliability-based optimization of rail inspection
… have evolved the rail inspection interval based on their empirical judgement and on field data. A crack size is predicted by linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). The proposed method identifies the time-varying rail reliability due to deterioration, using data obtained from LEFM and …

Integrated analysis and design in stochastic optimization
When structural optimization is performed via an iterative solution technique, it is possible to integrate the analysis and design iterations, in an integrated analysis and design procedure. The present work seeks to apply an integrated analysis and design approach in reliability based …
