Features: This book discusses the theory of structural system reliability and its application in the design of ship and marine engineering structures. The book consists of six chapters. The first two chapters introduce the development, significance, and main concepts of structural reliability theory, with a focus on Monte Carlo method and First-Order Second-Order Moment (FOSM) method. Chapter 3, after providing a comprehensive introduction to the theory of structural system reliability and the basic methods for calculating system failure probability, emphasizes the branch and bound method and β-branch method. Chapters 4 and 5 introduce reliability analysis methods for ship and marine structures. Chapter 6 covers reliability optimization methods for ship and marine structures. This book can serve as a textbook for graduate students in ship and marine engineering, as well as a reference for graduate students and senior undergraduate students in related fields, and for engineering technicians engaged in structural design and research.
