Abstract:
      A new search algorithm for effectively solving non-probabilistic reliability index is presented and discussed using the interval model of uncertain in this study.Based on the basic concept of function gradient,the gradient projection method,which conventionally used to analyze probabilistic reliability,is adopted to solve non-probabilistic reliability index by creating search directions and establishing iterative computation formulation.When the convergence point is not the most possible failure one,the spatial dimensional reduction is proposed.The calculation steps of the gradient projection method are also presented.The numerical examples have illustrated the search efficiency and validity of the proposed algorithm.
