Recenzje

'Professor Der Kiureghian has been one of the fathers of structural and system reliability analysis since the early 1980s and has devoted his entire career to research and education on this topic. No need to say that this book has been expected for a long time by the community! In this textbook, the reader will find elements of probability theory and the basics on structural reliability analysis (FORM/SORM, simulation methods, reliability updating, systems analysis), as well as state-of-the-art methods in stochastic structural dynamics, reliability-based design optimization and more, making it a must-have both for graduate students in engineering, researchers, and practitioners in the field. The crystal-clear writing style and the numerous exercises provided in each chapter make it the perfect reference for teaching.' Bruno Sudret, ETH Zurich
