Abstract:
This paper proposes an efficient interval moment method (IMM) for uncertainty propagation analysis with non-parameterized probability-box (p-box), where the bounds of statistical moments and cumulative distribution function (CDF) of output response can be simultaneously obtained. Firstly, two output response bounds are defined based on the equivalent probability transformation, which converts the original imprecise uncertainty propagation problem into two precise uncertainty propagation problems. Then, sparse grid numerical integration (SGNI) is employed to estimate the statistical moments of output response bounds. To improve computational efficiency, a multi-interval efficient global optimization (MI-EGO) algorithm is developed to capture the minimum and maximum responses on all collocation intervals of SGNI. By reconstructing the distributions of output response bounds using the maximum entropy method, the CDF bounds of output response can be acquired accordingly. Furthermore, by reusing the previous functional evaluations in the interval multiplication, the bounds of the statistical moments of output response can be estimated by SGNI again. Three numerical examples are investigated to verify the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Austria, part of Springer Nature.
