Dynamic Reliability of Stochastic Truss Structures under Random Load

Abstract:

Aim at the dynamic reliability of stochastic truss structures under stationary random excitation. In consideration of the randomness of structural physical parameters and the geometric parameters and the random excitations were first transformed into sinusoidal ones in terms of the pseudo excitation method ( PEM) , that turned the joint-random problem into a single random problem for which only structural parameters remain random, and thus the analysis is greatly simplified. The mean value and the variance of the mean square value of the structural displacement and velocity were computed by using the theory of spectral analysis. And then the expressions of stochastic truss structural dynamic reliability were educed from the Poisson formula. Finally, the influence of the randomness of structural parameters on the structural dynamic reliability was analyzed by an example; the method of this paper was proved feasible and available comparing with the Monte Carlo method.
