چکیده
The inherent uncertainties in geometry, material properties, etc. of engineering structures can be represented by stochastic models, where the parameters are described by probabilistic laws. Results from any analysis based on stochastic models inherit probabilistic information as well, which can be used e.g. for reliability analysis. Particularly in linear dynamics of structures the calculation and analysis of random eigenvalues and eigenvectors is crucial. A quite versatile, however computationally intensive way to analyze such systems is direct Monte Carlo Simulation. In this paper procedures are shown, which allow a significant reduction of computational efforts of the simulation using a subspace iteration scheme with “optimally” selected start-vectors. As the subspace iteration procedure, although quite accurate, requires a factorization of the stiffness matrix, as an alternative, a procedure based on component mode synthesis is suggested.

متن کاملA mode-based meta-model for the frequency response func- tions of uncertain structural systems
Frequency response functions (FRFs) play an important role in the assessment of the structural response of linear systems subjected to dynamic forces. In this work a meta-model is presented to approximate the eigenfrequencies and mode shapes to describe the FRFs. The meta-model is supposed to provide a computationally fast solution for the eigenvalue problem, which needs to be solved for each s...

متن کاملA Critical Appraisal of Reliability Estimation Procedures for High Dimensions
A critical appraisal of reliability procedures for high dimensions is presented. Available approximate methods and methods based on Monte Carlo simulation are discussed. It is shown that procedures which perform well in low dimensions may become impractical if the dimension increases considerably or tends to infinity. It is observed that some types of Monte Carlo based simulation procedures in ...
