Features: This book systematically introduces the content, methods, and engineering applications of structural reliability analysis, focusing on the fundamental theory, computational formulation, and program design of the stochastic finite element method. It includes a plane problem stochastic finite element program and comes with a free CD-ROM containing the source code. The book is divided into 10 chapters, covering the following topics: basic knowledge of random variables, random processes, and random fields; structural reliability and reliability indices; structural reliability calculation methods; structural system reliability calculation; the theory, methods, and engineering applications of stochastic finite elements; stochastic finite element program design; stochastic finite element programs and usage instructions; and special topics in structural reliability analysis. This book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students in civil engineering, water conservancy, mechanical engineering, and mechanics, as well as for reference by engineering technicians and relevant professionals.
