High-Order RSM for Dynamic Reliability of UHV Transmission Tower

Article Preview

Abstract:

As transmission tower system has the characteristics of large-span and spatial truss structure, the study of the reliability is also developed on the basis of space truss research and large-span structure system. As simple and suitable, RSM (response surface method), in particular, quadratic response surface without considering the cross term is often used in reliability calculation. However, strong nonlinear limit that corresponding to a complex surface, the accuracy of quadratic response surface is inadequate, causing greater reliability estimation error. High-order response surface solves it well. To this end, based on univariate analysis of multivariate function, a reasonable algorithm as to assure that the form of higher-order response surface is proposed; on the algorithm is verified by given examples, the result shows better accuracy and efficiency .
