    Abstract
    Derivation of the probability density evolution provides invaluable insight into the behavior of many stochastic systems and their performance. However, for most real-time applications, numerical determination of the probability density evolution is a formidable task. The latter is due to the required temporal and spatial discretization schemes that render most computational solutions prohibitive and impractical. In this respect, the development of an efficient computational surrogate model is of paramount importance. Recent studies on the physics-constrained networks show that a suitable surrogate can be achieved by encoding the physical insight into a deep neural network. To this aim, the... 

    Time-varying structural reliability assessment method: Application to fiber reinforced composites under repeated impact loading

    , Article Composite Structures ; 2020 Saraygord Afshari, S ; Pourtakdoust, S. H ; Crawford, B. J ; Seethalerc, R ; Milani, A. S ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Reliability evaluations play a significant role in engineering applications to ensure the serviceability and safety of advanced structures such as those made of composites. Here, a dynamic reliability evaluation analysis based on the probability density evolution Method (PDEM) has been adapted to assess the reliability of composite structures under uncertainties within the material properties and the external loadings. A Back-Propagation Neural Network approach is employed to identify the system's nonlinear structural response, which is often the case under large deformations. To exemplify, a split Hopkinson pressure bar system was employed to mimic the mechanical behavior of a...
