Abstract
In this paper, we employ the envelope functions in temporal and spatial reliability problems, by approximating the failure domain of the temporal and spatial multi-parameter reliability through the envelope hyper-planes, the temporal and spatial reliability can be converted into time-independent ones, thus the computational cost can be greatly reduced under guaranteeing the calculation precision. Combining the envelope hyper-plane with three-point estimation, the global sensitivity of the reliability with respect to the input variables can be analyzed efficiently.
