Structural Reliability Analysis using Uncertainty Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
The theory of structural reliability is widely applied in many fields, such as architectural design, and mechanical engineering. In this paper, the resident and the load of a structure are defined as uncertain variables and the reliability index is defined as as the uncertain measure of the event that the resident is larger than the load. Furthermore, the reliability of series and parallel structure systems are considered, respectively. In these two modes, the failure of any rod will bring the entire system’s failure. According to this principle, the resistance of the structures are calculated and some basic structural reliability index theorems are given. keywords: uncertainty theory; structural reliability; series structure; parallel structure

Modeling of Epistemic Uncertainty in Reliability Analysis of Structures Using a Robust Genetic Algorithm
In this paper the fuzzy structural reliability index was determined through modeling epistemic uncertainty arising from ambiguity in statistical parameters of random variables. The First Order Reliability Method (FORM) has been used and a robust genetic algorithm in the alpha level optimization method has been proposed for the determination of the fuzzy reliability index. The sensitivity level ...

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...
