Structural reliability analysis based on probability density evolution method and stepwise truncated variance reduction
To address the substantial computational burden associated with probability density evolution method (PDEM) in structural reliability analysis, this study proposes a novel look-ahead learning function named stepwise truncated variance reduction (STVR), integrating polynomial chaos Kriging (PCK) and PDEM. Three key features of STVR are highlighted. First, it enables quantifying the maximum reduction in predictive errors of PCK within the regions of interest (ROI) when adding a new point. Second, closed-form expression for STVR is derived through Kriging update formulas, eliminating the need for computationally intensive Gauss–Hermite quadrature or extensive conditional simulations of PCK. Third, a dynamic adjustment procedure is proposed for the probability level-related parameter in STVR, with the aim of achieving a good balance between the exploitation and exploration of ROI during the sequential experimental design process. The performance of STVR is demonstrated through two benchmark analytical functions and three numerical examples of varying complexity. Results indicate that the dynamic adjustment procedure for the probability level-related parameter in STVR outperforms the empirical setting of a minor value. Then, STVR proves more advantageous than existing pointwise and look-ahead learning functions, particularly in addressing complex dynamic reliability problems.
