摘要
The paper presents one method for calculating failure probabilities with applications to reliability analysis. The method is based on transforming the initial set of variables to a n-dimensional uniform random variable in the unit hypercube, together with the limit condition set and calculating the associated probability using a recursive method based on the Gauss-Legendre quadrature formulas to calculate the resulting multiple integrals. An example of application is used to illustrate the proposed method. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
