A Stress-Strength Interference Model with Strength Degradation Following a Gamma Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

Stress-strength interference model has been widely used for reliability analysis of structures.Strength degradation of a structure is a common phenomenon in engineering. To evaluate the structure reliability in the case of strength degradation over time, the strength degradation is represented by a gamma process and the stress applied on a structure is represented by the Poisson process in this paper. Then a time-dependent stress-strength interference model is suggested by employing numerical integration method. With this model, the structure reliability can be evaluated more accurately.
