title = "Reliability estimation in stochastic linear dynamics applying directional importance Sampling",
abstract = "This contribution presents a simulation-based approach for estimating first excursion probabilities associated with linear structures subject to stochastic loading. The approach is developed applying the concept of directional importance sampling, taking advantage of the geometry of the failure domain. A numerical example illustrates the application of the proposed approach, indicating that as few as 50 samples suffice for providing accurate estimates of the first excursion probability.",
