A Non-Probabilistic Measure of Structural Reliability Based on Convex Model

Xin Zhou Qiao

Abstract

The problem of the non-probabilistic reliability is investigated in this paper, in which the convex model is used to deal with uncertainties in structural analysis and design. The limitation on the current non-probabilistic reliability is discussed. Then a novel non-probabilistic reliability model is proposed, and its computational procedure is given. Two numerical examples are conducted to illustrate the feasibility and validity of the proposed non-probabilistic reliability model.
