Abstract
In time-dependent reliability analysis, an upcrossing is defined as the event when a limit-state function reaches its failure region from its safe region. Upcrossings are commonly assumed to be independent. The assumption may not be valid for some applications and may result in large errors. In this work, we develop a more accurate method that relaxes the assumption by using joint upcrossing rates. The method extends the existing joint...
