Seismic Reliability Analysis of MDOF Systems Based on Odd Exponent Wavelet

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study proposed non-failure or non-disabled probability of structure suffering random dynamic load within given time. A wavelet method based on its conception was proposed for seismic dynamic reliability analysis of MDOF system:From the Duhamel integral of the dynamic structural response, the structure stochastic response was expressed as earthquake ground motion’s wavelet transform. The ground motion and structure responses were modeled as non-stationary random process using odd exponent wavelets. The first-passage failure criterion and maximum probability were employed to estimate the structural dynamic reliability. The primary advantage of the proposed method is that it does not need to calculate spectral moments from the power density function integral, which are usually difficult to obtain the analytical expressions.
