Abstract
High-dimensional reliability analysis is still an open challenge in structural reliability community. To address this problem, a new sampling approach, named the good lattice point method based partially stratified sampling is proposed in the fractional moments-based maximum entropy method. In this approach, the original sample space is first partitioned into several orthogonal low-dimensional sample spaces, say 2 and 1 dimensions. Then, the samples in each low-dimensional sample space are generated by the good lattice point method, which are deterministic points and possess the property of large variance reduction. Finally, the samples in the original space can be obtained by randomly pairing the samples in low-dimensions, which may also significantly reduce the variance in high-dimensional cases. Then, this sampling approach is applied to evaluate the low-order fractional moments in the maximum entropy method with the tradeoff of efficiency and accuracy for high-dimensional reliability problems. In this regard, the probability density function of the performance function involving a large number of random inputs can be derived accordingly, where the reliability can be straightforwardly evaluated by a simple integral over the probability density function. Numerical examples are studied to validate the proposed method, which indicate the proposed method is of accuracy and efficiency for high-dimensional reliability analysis.
