متن کاملAN AGGREGATED FUZZY RELIABILITY INDEX FOR SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSIS
While sophisticated analytical methods like Morgenstern-Price or finite elementmethods are available for more realistic analysis of stability of slopes, assessment of the exactvalues of soil parameters is practically impossible. Uncertainty in the soil parameters arisesfrom two different sources: scatter in data and systematic error inherent in the estimate of soilproperties. Hence, stability o...
متن کاملFinite Element Reliability Methods in Earthquake Engineering Practice
The field of earthquake engineering is rapidly moving towards the use of sophisticated computational methods in engineering practice. This development is motivated by improved capabilities to numerically simulate nonlinear structural behavior during strong ground motion and the observation from recent earthquakes that the actual performance implied by simplified design guidelines is unclear. In...
متن کاملExplicit error bounds in a conforming finite element method
The goal of this paper is to define a procedure for bounding the error in a conforming finite element method. The new point is that this upper bound is fully explicit and can be computed locally. Numerical tests prove the efficiency of the method. It is presented here for the case of the Poisson equation and a first order finite element approximation.
متن کاملNew Multidimensional Visualization Technique for Limit-State Surfaces in Nonlinear Finite-Element Reliability Analysis
Structural reliability problems involving the use of advanced finite-element models of real-world structures are usually defined by limit-states expressed as functions referred to as limit-state functions of basic random variables used to characterize the pertinent sources of uncertainty. These limit-state functions define hyper-surfaces referred to as limit-state surfaces in the high-dimension...
