Structural reliability assessment is imperative to keep structural safety, durability and serviceability. One vital factor of such assessment is determination of dominant [...]

The paper is focused on the application of the surrogate model to reliability analysis of real structure. First, the basic theory of polynomial chaos expansion (PCe) is d [...]

In the context of performance requirements, whole life costing and sustainability, the concrete structure durability issue has recently gained considerable attention. The [...]

The paper deals with inverse analysis of loading the frame of walking undercarriage of the giant machine for the development of brown coal on the open mine Bilina. Artifi [...]

The paper suggests a new approach of inverse analysis to obtain parameters of FEM computational model in order to obtain best agreement with experimental data. The propos [...]

The paper is focused on statistical inverse analysis of material model parameters, where statistical parameters of input parameters have to be identified based on experim [...]

The paper is focused on damage identification of dynamically loaded structures using methods of soft computing including artificial intelligence. The damage and variabili [...]
