A loss-function based approach for evaluating reliability improvement of an engineering design

作者：

Highlights：

• A quantitative evaluation method for reliability improvement is provided.

• A decision tree analysis can be used to evaluate the reliability improvement results.

• We strike a proper balance between design reliability and its associate costs.
