First-order reliability method (FORM) for Matlab?

Hello,

I am wondering if there is a source code for first-order reliability method (FORM) or second-order (SORM) available out there, ideally for Matlab but others would be interesting as well.

If not, has anyone programmed this themself?  What literature source did you base it upon?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Opening for new Ph.D. students in the Computational Mechanics group, The University of Iowa

The Computational Mechanics group at The University of Iowa, led by Professor S. Rahman,

is looking for new Ph.D. students, who are capable of and interested in performing

high-quality research on reliability-based design optimization.  The research, supported

by NSF and others, entails developing new theory and efficient algorithms for stochastic

computing and design optimization. A solid background in mechanics and elementary

numerical analysis is a must; some exposure to uncertainty and probabilistic methods is

desirable.
