An Adaptive First-Order Reliability Analysis Method for Nonlinear Problems

The HL-RF algorithm of the first-order reliability method (FORM) is a widely useful tool in structural reliability analysis. However, the iteration results of HL-RF algorithm may not converge due to periodic cycles for some highly nonlinear reliability problems. In this paper, an adaptive first-orde...
