Reliability Analysis of k-out-of-n Systems of Components with Potentially Brittle Behavior by Universal Generating Function and Linear Programming

Due to initial cracks, careless construction, and extreme load conditions, components with brittle behavior may exist in a structural system. The presence of brittle behavior of components usually is accompanied by a low strength. However, existing methods for calculating the reliability of structur...
