תקציר	Simulation-assisted reliability analysis combines probabilistic reliability theory with computational simulation — most commonly Monte Carlo methods or finite-element models — to estimate the probability that a system, component, or structure will perform its intended function under uncertain operating conditions. Rather than relying solely on closed-form analytical solutions, it propagates uncertainty through high-fidelity numerical models to quantify failure risk across complex, nonlinear, or multi-failure-mode systems.	Robust reliability analysis is an engineering method that combines classical reliability estimation with robustness principles to quantify and improve system dependability in the presence of parameter uncertainty and variability. Rather than assuming fixed input values, it propagates distributions of noise factors through a reliability model to produce probability-of-failure estimates that remain valid across a range of operating conditions and manufacturing tolerances.
