Short summary
A novel method is presented for efficiently analyzing the reliability of engineering components and systems with highly nonlinear complex limit state functions. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, four examples involving mathematical functions and mechanical problems are solved. The findings demonstrate that while maintaining high-precision reliability results, the proposed method significantly reduces the number of evaluations of the limit state function.
