Reliability Analysis of Crane Structure Based on Possibilistic Theory

Abstract:

With the increasing for crane in the industrial production, its structural reliability has now been an important concept to guarantee stable performances. The structural safety for the traditional stochastic and probabilistic reliability method is both measured with the viewpoint of probability. But large crane structure with low fault rate is often unable to get necessary statistic data. The new developing crane also has not large amount of statistical data due to no precedent of use. Aiming to these problems, the reliability analysis based on possibility theory is supplied. The method abandons two value state hypotheses, and can avoid a large number of sample collection and the impact of human factors. Compared with the probability methods applied to the crane structure, the possibility reliability method is not only feasible, but also reduces the computational error.
