Inverse distributions in reliability design—a revisit

This is a revision paper on inversion of normal and lognormal failure distributions. Higher order terms of the inverse series have been derived and the convergence possibility has been studied in detail. Limitations of the method are also provided.

Summary:This is a revision paper on inversion of normal and lognormal failure distributions. Higher order terms of the inverse series have been derived and the convergence possibility has been studied in detail. Limitations of the method are also provided. The design procedure of an I-section beam for the target reliability strength has been illustrated.
