Abstract:
A method for calculating the first four moments of structural extremum responses is proposed based on the random function-spectral representation model. A high-order moment method for structural dynamic reliability analysis under non-Gaussian random excitation is developed. The discrete point set expression of a single basic random variable of a random function is modified. A small amount of non-Gaussian acceleration processes is generated according to the modified discrete point set, and the time history analysis of the structure is performed, then the first four moments (i.e., mean, standard deviation, skewness and kurtosis) of non-Gaussian structural extreme responses are estimated. The complete expression of the fourth-order moment reliability index is proposed and applied to calculate the structural dynamic reliability under non-Gaussian random excitation. Finally, the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method are demonstrated by the dynamic reliability analysis of a two-degree-of-freedom system and an eight-story frame structure. Although the number of samples is significantly reduced, the maximum relative error of the first four moments calculated by the proposed method is 5.54% compared with the Monte Carlo simulation results. The results of dynamic reliability analysis by the proposed method are almost the same with those of Monte Carlo simulation. © 2020, Nanjing Univ. of Aeronautics an Astronautics. All right reserved.
