A time-domain computational code is used in order to determine the extreme tension, while the spectral method is implemented for estimating the fatigue life.
For evaluation purpose, the proposed method is compared with the previous parametric TAR/AR-based filters in which the parametric model residual is considered as the filter output and also Yule Walker and Kalman filter are implemented for estimating the parameters.
Univariate approaches, including Kaplan Meier survival curves and life-tables, were implemented for estimating unadjusted survival probabilities.
Several methods have been implemented for making inferences about the TDI estimate [ 10, 12- 15, 26].
An efficient algorithm recently developed for ABC using the sequential Monte Carlo method was implemented for parameter estimate and model selection for nonlinear dynamic systems [ 24, 25].
In this study, SmartPLS (SmartPLS 2.0.M3; SmartPLS, Hamburg, Germany) was used for performing the PLS-PM, in which the path weighting scheme was implemented for the inner estimate of the standardized latent variable in the PLS procedure, and the default sample number for the bootstrapping procedure was 500.
For the case with nominal linear subsystems, a distributed adaptive observer-based controller is designed, where the distributed adaptive observer is implemented for the subsystems to estimate the exogenous signal.
This was implemented for 1-year latency by estimating the population change from the year before the start of the study period (i.e. 1979 for the base case) to the year before the end of the study period (i.e. 1988 for the base case).
In addition, the temperature distribution of composite layers during the pressurization process is calculated using heat transfer analysis, and temperature-dependent material properties are implemented for each finite element to estimate the stress distribution of the pressure vessel.
