Analytical and computational methods for non-Gaussian reliability analysis of nonlinear systems operating in stochastic environments

Statistical problems arise in many areas of ocean engineering, such as ship seakeeping, structural reliability, and design, and can be caused both by uncertainty in materials and construction, and by the inherently stochastic nature of random waves. Due to the dynamical nonlinearity of these systems...
