Analysis of Structural Reliability Based on Stochastic Response Surface Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

A system reliability analysis technique has been proposed in the paper, based on stochastic response surface method. Each input is translated into standard random variables, and the output is expanded into Hermite polynomial series. The coefficients of the expansion of the response are obtained by a regression method. The amount of calculation can be greatly reduced, compared to conventional reliability methods such as Monte-Carlo simulation. The proposed technique can be applied to any structural type.
