An Efficient Method for Structural Reliability Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

An efficient reliability analysis method has been proposed in the paper, which based on stochastic response surface method. The key advantage of the stochastic response surface method is that the collocation points are selected for minimizing the mean square error, and from high probability regions, thus leading to fewer function evaluations for high accuracy. Compared with Monte Carlo method, the proposed technique can be more efficiency while achieve comparative accuracy.
