abstract

in this paper, the nonlinear conjugate map based on the conjugate hasofer-lind and rackwitz- fiessler (chl-rf) method is applied to evaluate the reliability index using first order reliability method of the embedded noanocompsite beam, which is made from polymer reinforced with carbon nanotubs (cnts). the structure is simulated with timoshenko beam model. the mori-tanaka model is applied for calculating the effective material properties of nanocomposite beam. the surrounding elastic medium is considered by spring and shear constants. based on energy method and hamilton's principal, the governing equations are derived. using an analytical method, the buckling performance function of structure is obtained. the effects of the basic random variables including the length to thickness ratio of beam (l/h), spring constant and shear constant of foundation with respect to the volume fraction of cnts are investigated on the reliability index of the nanocomposite beam subjected to axial force of 20 gpa. the results indicated that the failure probabilities of the studied the nanocomposite beam are the sensitive to the length to thickness of beam (l/h) and spring constant of foundation variables.

Conjugate and Directional Chaos Control Methods for Reliability Analysis of CNT–Reinforced Nanocomposite Beams under Buckling Forces; A Comparative Study

The efficiency and robustness of reliability methods are two important factors in the first-order reliability method (FORM). The conjugate choice control (CCC) and directional chaos control method (DCC) are developed to improve the robustness and efficiency of the FORM formula using the stability transformation method. In this paper, the CCC and DCC methods are applied for the reliability analy...

Reliability Analysis of Corroded Reinforced Concrete Beams Using Enhanced HL-RF Method

Steel corrosion of bars in concrete structures is a complex process which leads to the reduction of the cross-section bars and decreasing the resistance of the concrete and steel materials. In this study, reliability analysis of a reinforced concrete beam with corrosion defects under the distributed load was investigated using the enhanced Hasofer-Lind and Rackwitz-Fiessler (EHL-RF) method base...
