• Coupling the cross-entropy with the line sampling method for risk-based design optimization 

      Depina, Ivan; Papaioannou, Iason; Straub, Daniel; Eiksund, Gudmund Reidar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      An algorithm for risk-based optimization (RO) of engineering systems is proposed, which couples the Cross-entropy (CE) optimization method with the Line Sampling (LS) reliability method. The CE-LS algorithm relies on the ...
    • Reliability analysis with Metamodel Line Sampling 

      Depina, Ivan; Le, Thi Minh Hue; Fenton, Gordon A.; Eiksund, Gudmund Reidar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      This paper presents an approach for reliability analysis of engineering structures, referred to as Metamodel Line Sampling (MLS). The approach utilizes a metamodel of the performance function, within the framework of the ...
