Probability theory metbods for calculating approximations of first excursion and fatigue failure probabilities in tbe case of arbitrary differentiable stocbastic procesa models are discussed. The discrete random variable of upcrossings of a level by a differentiable stocbastic procesa is used to consider the functionala of stochastic processes wbicb are of practical interest in reliability analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
