Operator Norm-Based Statistical Linearization to Bound the First Excursion Probability of Nonlinear Structures Subjected to Imprecise Stochastic Loading

Peihua Ni et al.

Summary: This paper presents a highly efficient approach for bounding the responses and probability of failure of nonlinear models subjected to imprecisely defined stochastic Gaussian loads. The method is extended and generalized to account for nonlinear systems using the statistical linearization methodology. Two case studies are included to demonstrate the validity and efficiency of the proposed approach.

Bayesian probabilistic propagation of imprecise probabilities with large epistemic uncertainty

Pengfei Wei et al.

Summary: Efficient propagation of imprecise probability models is achieved through the development of a new methodology framework named NIPI, focusing on the distributional probability-box model and the estimation of probabilistic moments of model responses. By integrating spatial correlation information revealed by the GPR model, NIPI estimations with high accuracy are derived, and numerical errors are treated as epistemic uncertainty.
