Reliability Estimation Using Two-Staged Kriging Metamodel and Genetic Algorithm

In this study, the effective method for reliability estimation is proposed using tow-staged kriging metamodel and genetic algorithm. Kriging metamodel can be determined by appropriate sampling range and the number of sampling points. The first kriging metamodel is made based on the proposed sampling points. The advanced first order reliability method is applied to the first kriging metamodel to determine the reliability and most probable failure...
