“…In the structural reliability field, first-and second-order reliability methods (FORM and SORM) [11,12] have been proven to be effective methods, for their simplicity and efficiency. e mirror image excitation method presented by Koo et al [13] provided an approximate method for the nonlinear system failure probability estimation, and the solution of this method does not require the finding of the design point and response gradient; however, this method is restricted to the displacement first passage of single-degreeof-freedom problems. In the tail equivalent linearization method (TELM) [14,15], the nonlinear system was equivalently replaced by a linear system at the design point; this method can be adopted in many nonlinear cases with great accuracy, especially for high response threshold cases.…”
