Abstract: In this letter, we use the Berry-Esseen theorem and the method of tilted distributions to derive a simple tight closed-form approximation for the tail probabilities of a sum of independent ...

Abstract: In this letter, a highly accurate approximate approach for the sum of arbitrary correlated Weibull random variables is proposed. Specifically, closed-form approximate expressions for the ...

In this paper, a new hybrid approach is presented based on the combination of the power series expansions and the Rayleigh-Ritz method for stability and free vibration analyses of axially functionally ...
