A time-variant reliability analysis method for non-linear limit-state functions with the mixture of random and interval variables

Most of the current time-variant reliability analysis methods are applicable for only random variables. However, some of the uncertain parameters can only be easily modeled by interval variables in many engineering applications. The main contribution of this paper is to propose a new time-variant reliability analysis method for nonlinear limit state function with the coexistence of random variables and interval uncertain variables. Three primary...
