- Abstract
To improve the evaluation efficiency of failure probability in RBDO models with uncertainty, many RIA-based, PMA-based methods have evolved as a powerful procedure, including the modified reliability index approach (MRIA), PMA two-level, PMA with sequential approximate programming (SAP). However, MRIA may encounter inefficiency and instability when applied to complex concave performance functions, and so does PMA two-level, not for PMA with SAP. The active set strategy-based SAP (ASS-based SAP) for PMA is proposed to accelerate computational efficiency through establishing an active set strategy and a deciding factor. The active set strategy defined by using inequality is to identify the feasible most probable target point (MPTP) in the inner loop. The decision factor integrates the reliability index and the active set strategy to quickly renew the active constraints in the outer loop. The reliability assessment and outer optimization are driven simultaneously, thereby the computational efficiency is strengthened. Numerical examples are compared with other reliability methods to demonstrate the excellent performance of the proposed method in efficiency and robustness. Results also show that the proposed method has the ability to solve complex RBDO problems.
