Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of reliability analysis and relates to a reliability analysis method for complex structure equipment under measurement conditions. Background Art

[0002] Structural reliability estimation plays a vital role in the engineering field, especially in the design of buildings, aerospace, bridges, machinery and other structures that need to withstand physical stress. Structural reliability not only involves the safety of the structure, but also includes applicability and durability. It is quantitatively analyzed through a probabilistic indicator - structural reliability. In the process of design, construction and use, due to various uncertainties, the evaluation of structural reliability becomes complicated and necessary.

[0003] The commonly used structural reliability calculation methods include Monte Carlo method, surrogate model method, first-order second moment method, etc. The Chinese invention patent "A method for time-varying reliability analysis of bearings considering the coupling effect of rolling contact fatigue damage and wear" (patent number: 202411171631.X) proposes a novel physical model for bearing reliability analysis, establishes the RCF damage and wear coupling effect of the bearing, and more reasonably and accurately evaluates the reliability while significantly improving the calculation efficiency. The Chinese invention patent "Surrogate model method for reliability analysis of turbine casing under evidence uncertainty" (patent number: 202311359650.0) can robustly and quickly calculate the failure probability limit of the turbine casing structure under evidence uncertainty, thereby reasonably evaluating the reliability level of the turbine casing. However, these inventions all study the reliability analysis method of structures without measurement conditions. In many engineering problems, such as building health monitoring, engineers usually arrange measurement points on the structure to measure the structural response. This reliability analysis method of structures with measurement conditions has not yet been studied. When using random parameters to quantify the random dynamic response of a structure, if the measurement data conditions can be considered, it is obvious that the uncertainty quantification of the random response can be further refined, providing a more reliable basis for structural safety and reliability analysis. At the same time, in actual engineering problems, the measurement errors caused by human operation and instrument errors are also random.

[0004] Therefore, how to accurately and effectively evaluate the reliability of complex structural equipment under measurement conditions with random errors is an extremely important issue. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a reliability analysis method for complex structural equipment under measurement conditions. Based on the law of conservation of probability, the present invention derives an accurate expression of the conditional probability density function containing the mechanical probability index under measurement conditions. Compared with the analysis under unconditional conditions, the reliability analysis method for complex structural equipment under measurement conditions proposed by the present invention can produce more accurate results, thereby providing a more solid basis for the safety and reliability assessment of the structure.
