Xiao Jie Liu, Xiao Jing Li, Wei Hua Shi, Ya Chuan Kuang · Applied Mechanics and Materials · 2012
In this paper variance of preformance function is calculated according to law of covariance propagation and matrix algorithm is used to calculate reliability index of structures in generalized random space, which is applicable to independent and correlative random variable, linear or nonlinear limit state equation. The given example has shown that the proposed method is very simple and convenient.
