Global sensitivity analysis-enhanced surrogate (GSAS) modeling for reliability analysis

An essential issue in surrogate model-based reliability analysis is the selection of training points. Approaches such as efficient global reliability analysis (EGRA) and adaptive Kriging Monte Carlo simulation (AK-MCS) methods have been developed to adaptively select training points that are close to the limit state. Both the learning functions and convergence criteria of selecting training points in EGRA and AK-MCS are defined from the...
