9.4M] 15 Dec
2010, 5pm Introduction The uncertainty behaviors of the engineering variable are the
major cause of failure of the engineering structure and its gains a lot of
attention from various engineering discipline. One of the main objectives of
structure engineering design is to ensure the safety and performance of an engineering
system for specified functions and loading condition in a given period of
time. The reliability assessment based analysis method which will consider
the stochastic behavior of the engineering variables such as mechanical
properties, structure geometric, loading and environment condition is needed
to apply to any structure design to prevent any failure occurs in the
engineering structure. There are many methods are proposed and applied to
determine the probability of failure of structures. The method can reduce the
simulation afford in term of time, number of simulation needed and computer
memory storage with the similar accuracy if compare some other methods. Goals This course aims at exposing the student to basic concepts and
issues that are essential to probability
modeling of structural mechanics. After completing this course students 1) possess a good overview of probability and reliability; 2) possess a good basis for reading and understanding literature
on probability
and uncertainty; 3) are able to apply basic methods of mathematical statistics
and probability theory; 4) are able to incorporate stochastic methods and principles in structure
mechanics and model building; 5) will appreciate the added value of the probability approach, i.e. it pays to be certain about uncertainty. Syllabus The
course aims at introducing computational process of reliability and
durability of structures. The correlation of failure problem, safety level
and the optimization during design. Selection of probabilistic methods which
involve uncertainty parameters. A project involving component and structure
to demonstrate the influence of parameters uncertainty on the prediction
of structural reliability. Topics:
