• Development of environmental contours for first-year ice ridge statistics 

      Chai, Wei; Leira, Bernt Johan; Næss, Arvid; Høyland, Knut Vilhelm; Ehlers, Sören (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Ice ridges represent a major threat to ships and offshore structures in areas with sea ice but no icebergs, since they frequently determine and govern the structural design loads. This work focuses on the development of ...
    • Multivariate log-concave probability density class for structural reliability applications 

      Faridafshin, Farzad; Næss, Arvid (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Structural reliability analysis is conventionally based on a description of uncertainty via a joint probability density function (JPDF). This paper builds on an alternative concept of working with a probability distribution ...
    • Reliability analysis with Metamodel Line Sampling 

      Depina, Ivan; Le, Thi Minh Hue; Fenton, Gordon A.; Eiksund, Gudmund Reidar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      This paper presents an approach for reliability analysis of engineering structures, referred to as Metamodel Line Sampling (MLS). The approach utilizes a metamodel of the performance function, within the framework of the ...
