1 Approximate methods for calculating probability of failure Working with normal distributions is appealing First-order second-moment method (FOSM) Most probable point First order reliability method (FORM) Section 4.1 in Choi, Grandhi, & Canfield
2 The normal distribution is attractive It has the nice property that linear functions of normal variables are normally distributed. Also, the sum of many random variables tends to be normally distributed. Probability of failure varies over many orders of magnitude. Reliability index, which is the number of standard deviations away from the mean solves this problem. β = Φ 1 ( P ) P = Φ( β) Φ is the normal CDF f f
3 Approximation about mean Predecessor of FORM called first-order second-moment method (FOSM) T g ( X) = g( µ ) + g( µ ) ( X µ ) Then, easy to show X X X 2 n g 2 µ g = g( µ X) σg = σx i i= 1 x i (How can you use that to get rid of unimportant variables?) The reliability index and probability of failure are µ g β = Pf =Φ ( β ) Φis the normal CDF σ g 1/2
4 Beam under central load example Example 4.2 Probability of exceeding plastic moment capacity g( P, L, W, T ) = WT PL /4 All normal P L W (plastic section modulus) T (yield stress) mean 10kN 8m m^3 600,000 kn/m^2 Standard deviation 2kN 0.1m m^3 100,000kN/m^2
5 Reliability index for example Using the linear approximation get µ = g( µ ) = , / 4 = = 40 knm (safety factor of 3!) g X g g = W = = T = 600, 000 T W g g = L/ 4 = 2 = P/ 4 = 2.5 P L 1/2 2 n g 2 σg = σx = i i= 1 x i ( ) ( , 000) (600, ) 2 2 ( ) = 16.13kNm µ g β = = 2.48, Pf =Φ ( 2.48) = σ g g( P, L, W, T ) = WT PL /4 Example 4.2 of CGC shows that if we change to g=t- 0.25PL/W we get 3.48 ( ) MCS with 10 million samples gave 2.85 ( )
6 Top Hat question In the beam example, the error in estimating the reliability index was due to Linear approximation g is not normal both
7 Most probable point (MPP) The error due to the linear approximation is exacerbated due to the fact that the expansion may be about a point that is far from the failure region (due to the safety margin). Hasofer and Lind suggested remedying this problem by finding the most probable point and linearizing about it. The joint distribution of all the random variables assigns a probability density to every point in the random space. The point with the highest density on the line g=0 is the MPP.
8 Response minus capacity illustration r=randn(1000,1)* ; c=randn(1000,1)*1.5+13; x; fplot(f,[5,20]) hold on plot(r,c,'ro') xlabel('r') ylabel('c') c r
9 Recipe for finding MPP with independent normal variables Transform into standard normal variables (zero mean and unity standard deviation) u i i Find the point on g=0 of minimum distance to origin. The point will be the MPP and the distance to the origin will be the reliability index based on linear approximation there. β = min = U gu ( ) = 0 x i µ σ x x T ( UU) 1/2 i
10 First order reliability method (FORM) Limit state g(x). Failure when g<0. Linear approximation of limit state together with assumption that random variables are normal. Approximate around most probable point. Then limit state is also normal variable. Reliability index is the distance of the mean of g from zero measured in standard deviations.

12 Linear Example For linear example Then The failure boundary Distance from origin ( 5 u /6 2) 2 β = u + g = R C R= N = r 10 c 13 u1 = u2 = g = 1.25u1 1.5u , (10,1.25 ) C N(13,1.5 ) g = 0 u = (5 / 6) u dβ du f = 2u1+ u1 = u1 = u2 = (r = c = 11.27) β = P =Φ ( β ) = u u1
13 Check by MCS r=randn(1000,1)* ; c=randn(1000,1)*1.5+13; >> s=0.5*(sign(r-c)+1);pf=sum(s)/1000= Six repetitions gave: , , ,0.0450, , With million samples got So even with a million samples, accurate only to two digits.
14 Problems FORM Repeat the linear example of Slide 12 with a slightly different limit state g=r 2 -C 2 with both FORM and MCS. Do the beam problem of slides 4 and 5 with FORM. Note that you are now in 4 dimensional random space.
15 General case If random variables are normal but correlated, a linear transformation will transform them to independent variables. If random variables are not normal, can be transformed to normal with similar probability of failure. See Section of CGC (It is called the Rosenblatt transformation) Murray Rosenblatt, Remarks on a Multivariate Transformation, Ann. Math. Statist. Volume 23, Number 3 (1952),
16 Approximate transformation If we want the transformed variable u to have the same CDF as the original x at a certain value of x we would require Φ ( u) = F( x) Unfortunately we cannot enforce that everywhere. If we focus on MPP we get the following transformation (Eqs. 4.38, 4.39), which must be used iteratively, starting from some guess. u σ = x' x µ σ x' x' ( 1 MPP F( x ) ) φ Φ = MPP f( x ) = x Φ F( x ) MPP 1 MPP µ x' σx' X* replaced by x MPP in equations.
However, reliability analysis is not limited to calculation of the probability of failure.
