Note. μ I, μ II are the mean value of the first- and second-order approximation of responses, respectively. is the standard deviation of the perturbation method of responses.μ is the mean value of direct Monte Carlo simulation of responses. is the standard deviation of direct Monte Carlo simulation of responses.
