Bootstrap, confidence intervals, reliability analysis, polynomial chaos, fatigueAbstract
Using stochastic finite elements, the response quantity can be written as a series expansion which allows an approximation of the limit state function. For computational purpose, the series must be truncated in order to retain only a finite number of terms. In the context of reliability analysis, we propose a new approach coupling polynomial chaos expansions and confidence intervals on the generalized reliability index as truncating criterion.
