Abstract

For the widely existing time-dependent structural system (TDSS), the current model ignores the interaction among multiple modes in the minimum transformation of the performance function of each mode w.r.t. the time, it may misjudge the state of the system at some instants and result in the error of estimating the reliability. To avoid this possible mistake, this paper proposes an improved reliability analysis model for the TDSS. In the proposed model, the TDSS performance function is transformed into the single-mode time-dependent performance function firstly according to the relationship of multiple modes. Then the failure probability of the TDSS can be estimated by the single-mode time-dependent performance function. The relationship of multiple modes is strictly considered in the proposed model. On the basis of the improved model, this paper also presents the Kriging surrogate model combined with the Monte Carlo simulation method to estimate the failure probability of the TDSS. In this Kriging method, the initial training samples are uniformly selected in the sample space and a new extremum learning function is proposed. Theoretical analysis verifies the rationality of the proposed reliability analysis model, and the efficiency of the proposed method is illustrated by the results of numerical examples.
