Fragility Analysis of Complex Structural Systems
by Fabio Casciati and L. Faravelli
Published 20 February 1991
Computer science and numerical methods are employed to analyze the ability of complex structural systems and their processes to resist special environmental events. Presents such methods as reliability analysis, random vibration and expert system applications and assesses the adequacy of each against the mechanical model. Practical applications are illustrated by many examples in engineering, nuclear and conventional power plants, aerospace industry and civil engineering.
