Abstract: |
This paper investigates the iteration algorithms for the non-probabilistic reliability analysis of structures using hyper-ellipsoidal models of uncertainties.For the purpose of alleviating the convergence difficulties of the reliability index calculation in presence of highly nonlinear limit-state functions,the paper proposed a criterion for detecting Zig-zag iterations and a modified iteration scheme based on the HL-RF algorithm.The numerical example demonstrates the validity and efficiency of the present method.The proposed techniques are also shown to be capable of improving the iteration convergence in evaluating the non-probabilistic reliability index. |
