This approach eliminates the need for additional implicit evaluations, thereby improving the efficiency of LRF calibration across multiple targets. The process is further enhanced by an adaptive boundary algorithm that updates search domains in real-time, streamlining the optimization. Validation through three examples—including one explicit and two implicit performance functions (a structural and a geotechnical example)—demonstrates that the method achieves accurate results with fewer iterations by dynamically narrowing search domains. Specifically, the accuracy of the proposed method is confirmed by comparing results with those from the literature for the explicit example and with basic MCS results applied to the initial implicit problems. Performance on the illustrative examples shows that the structural example achieves calibration for three targets within ten iterations.

Real-time Principal Geodesic Analysis (RPGA) is a novel technique that provides a unique perspective for analyzing nonlinear data on differentiable manifolds. Traditional linear methods are often inadequate when exploring the complexities of such data. Orthogonal transformation techniques such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Principal Geodesic Analysis (PGA) are highly desirable for condition monitoring stochastically excited systems in domains like mechanical, aerospace, and civil engineering. However, uncertainties and dynamic fluctuations necessitate robust analytical methods for early change detection to ensure safety, performance, and cost-effectiveness. Limitations posed by linear orthogonal transformation techniques such as PCA and its recursive counterparts make it imperative to adapt these techniques to nonlinear situations where data does not evolve in a flat Euclidean space. Significant advancements have been made in this field over recent decades, with data-driven real-time algorithms such as RPCA, RCCA, and RSSA providing reliable solutions for complex multidimensional problems. However, for curved space, the nonlinear RPGA technique takes center stage. It is known for its effectiveness in extracting meaningful information from the complex data stream.

The key innovation lies in approximating structural failure probability through incremental dynamic analysis (IDA), leading to the development of a novel double-loop optimization method tailored for designing nonlinear structures exposed to stochastic seismic loading conditions. In the outer loop, geometric variables of structures are optimized using sequential quadratic programming; within the inner loop, IDA is adopted for structural analysis to quantify seismic uncertainty, and the resulting failure probability is then served as the optimization constraint for the outer loop. To validate its accuracy and efficacy, numerical investigations have been performed on two representative case studies utilizing <em>OpenSees</em>: a reinforced concrete column and a three-story steel frame.
