  • System and method for importance sampling based time-dependent reliability prediction
    Patent number: 8781672
    Abstract: A system and a method of generating a reliability prediction for components of a vehicle. The system and the method include implementing importance sampling in dynamic vehicle systems when the vehicle is subjected to time-dependent random terrain input. Alternatively, simulation data may be implemented. The system and the method include determining a decorrelation length, scaling up the standard deviation of white noise, and calculation of a likelihood ratio.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 4, 2011
    Date of Patent: July 15, 2014
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army
    Inventors: Amandeep Singh, Efstratios Nikolaidis, Zissimos P. Mourelatos
