Description
Technical fields:
[0001] This invention relates to the field of structural health monitoring, and in particular to a method for calculating the dynamic reliability of nonlinear stochastic structures. Background technology:
[0002] As a crucial component of national infrastructure, the safety and reliability of civil engineering structures directly impact the safety of people's lives and property. Assessing the dynamic reliability of civil engineering structures using measured response data during their service life can provide a relatively accurate reflection of their actual safety status. Based on the first-breakdown criterion for random vibration, conducting dynamic reliability analysis of composite random vibration systems is one of the main methods for assessing structural safety status.
[0003] However, dynamic reliability theories based on traversal analysis require simultaneous assumptions about the joint probability density function of the structural response and the traversal process, such as the Poisson assumption or the Markov assumption, which leads to a certain deviation between the calculated structural dynamic reliability and the actual value. Furthermore, traditional stochastic structural dynamic reliability analysis methods focus on the numerical characteristics of the structural response, only grasping the structural response information from a macroscopic perspective.
[0004] Therefore, conducting measured structural dynamic reliability analysis based on the evolution of the probability density distribution of structural dynamic response using probability and statistics theory has significant theoretical research value. Traditional structural dynamic reliability calculations suffer from inadequate model correction theories, are limited to linear structures, and rely on arbitrary assumptions about the probability distribution of model parameters, lacking factual basis.
[0005] Based on this, the present invention aims to propose a method for calculating the dynamic reliability of nonlinear stochastic structures, which can more realistically reflect the safety status of engineering structures. Summary of the Invention:
[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for calculating the dynamic reliability of nonlinear stochastic structures. Based on a nonlinear model of a stochastic structure, an external excitation load with stochastic characteristics is applied to establish a state equation for the dynamic response of the nonlinear stochastic structure. This solves the problem that traditional dynamic reliability analysis methods can only reflect the overall reliability of a structure from a macroscopic perspective by calculating the statistics of the structural response, lacking the quantification of the actual structural reliability evolution process under external loads. Furthermore, this invention utilizes measured structural dynamic response information to correct the nonlinear model of the actual structure, avoiding the need for response assumptions in traditional reliability calculations, improving the accuracy of structural reliability calculations, and more realistically reflecting the safety state of engineering structures. In addition, based on the corrected structural nonlinear model, the probability distribution of the calculated structural dynamic response time history can more clearly reflect its reliability change trend.
