Abstract

This paper proposes a new system reliability analysis method based on a hybrid of multivariate Gaussian process (MGP) and univariate Gaussian process (UGP) models. The proposed method is named hybrid Gaussian process-based system reliability analysis (HGP-SRA). MGP and UGP models are selectively constructed for the components of an engineered system according to their interdependencies: MGP models are constructed over the groups of highly interdependent components and UGP models are built over the components which are relatively independent of one another. A nonlinear-dependence measure, namely the randomized dependence coefficient, is adopted to learn and quantify the pairwise dependencies between the components involving both linear and complex nonlinear dependency patterns. An initial hybrid Gaussian process (HGP) model comprising both UGP and MGP models is first constructed with a set of near-random samples and these UGP and MGP models are then updated with new samples that are sequentially identified based on a new acquisition function named adaptive multivariate probability of improvement. Results of three mathematical and two real-world engineering case studies suggest that the proposed HGP-SRA method can achieve better accuracy and efficiency in system reliability estimation than several benchmark surrogate-based methods.
