H. Scott (OSU) Sensitivity and Reliability AMC Seminar, / 34

4 Sensitivity Overview Governing Equilibrium Equations Residual Equilibrium Equations Solve residual equilibrium using Newton-Raphson algorithm where R f (U f (t)) = P f (t) P r (U f (t)) = 0 (2) U f = ( ) 1 K j T Rf (U j f ) (3) K j T = P r U f (4) or any other suitable stiffness matrix according to other root finding algorithms (modified, quasi, accelerated Newton). Regardless, use increment to update displacement U j+1 f = U j f + U f (5) M. H. Scott (OSU) Sensitivity and Reliability AMC Seminar, / 34

5 Sensitivity Overview Governing Equilibrium Equations Parameterized Equilibrium Equations Let θ be an uncertain parameter of the external load or the finite element model P f (t, θ) = P r (U f (t, θ), θ) (6) Nodal displacements, U f, depend on all θ, whether of the load or FE model Resisting forces depend explicitly on a θ of the FE model and implicitly on all θ via U f Load vector, P f, depends explicitly on a θ of the external load Typical properties θ represents: steel yield stress, concrete strength, member cross-section dimensions, nodal coordinates, etc. M. H. Scott (OSU) Sensitivity and Reliability AMC Seminar, / 34

6 Sensitivity Overview Computing Sensitivity Sensitivity to Uncertain Parameters Two approaches to determine U f / θ, the sensitivity of structural response to changes in θ 1 Finite Differences re-run analysis with perturbed parameter value, e.g., forward finite difference U f θ U f (θ + θ) U f (θ) θ 2 Direct Differentiation develop analytic expressions for sensitivity by differentiating governing equations of the finite element analysis (7) M. H. Scott (OSU) Sensitivity and Reliability AMC Seminar, / 34

7 Sensitivity Overview Computing Sensitivity Direct Differentiation Method (DDM) Differentiate equilibrium equations wrt parameter, θ P f θ = P r U f U f θ + P r θ (8) Uf Solve for nodal displacement sensitivity, U f / θ ( U f θ = P f K 1 T θ P ) r θ Uf (9) At end of a simulation time step: Conditional derivative, P r / θ Uf, assembled from element contributions in same manner as P r Factorized K T from last Newton-Raphson iteration. Or reform and factorize K T if using Newton-like iteration. M. H. Scott (OSU) Sensitivity and Reliability AMC Seminar, / 34

8 Sensitivity Overview Computing Sensitivity Verification Compare with forward finite difference U f (θ + θ) U f (θ) lim = U f θ 0 θ θ (10) Repeat analysis with perturbed parameter If finite difference approximation converges to analytic sensitivity as θ decreases, then DDM is correct M.

15 Problem Statement Structural Reliability Analysis Assess uncertain structural response in terms of probability of failure under prescribed events, or limit states Define scalar valued limit state function in terms of a vector of random variables, x g(x) = { 0 fail > 0 safe (11) Each random variable in x Has a prescribed PDF, CDF, mean, st.dev, etc.; Generally, correlated and non-normal; and Maps to one or more parameters, θ, of the load or FE model M. H. Scott (OSU) Sensitivity and Reliability AMC Seminar, / 34

16 Problem Statement Probability of Failure The probability that the limit state function evaluates to fail over all possible realizations of the random variables in x p f = f X (x)dx (12) g(x) 0 f X (x) is the joint PDF of all random variables Integrate over failure domain g(x) = 0 x n Contours of f X (x) SAFE FAIL x 1 g(x) = 0 M. H. Scott (OSU) Sensitivity and Reliability AMC Seminar, / 34

17 Problem Statement Monte Carlo Simulation Generate N random realizations of x using joint inverse CDF N i=1 p f (g(x(i) ) 0) N Captures nonlinearities of limit state function Computationally intense: N >= 1e5 for accurate p f Difficult to obtain sensitivity of failure to random variables (13) x n g(x) = 0 SAFE FAIL x 1 g(x) = 0 M. H. Scott (OSU) Sensitivity and Reliability AMC Seminar, / 34

18 Problem Statement First Order Approximation Linearize at design point, x, on failure surface closest to M x, mean value of x g(x) = 0 M x x x n SAFE FAIL x 1 g(x) = 0 x is solution to constrained optimization problem min x M x 2 (14) g(x)=0 Distance from mean to failure surface is measure of reliability Higher order approximations of failure surface also possible M. H. Scott (OSU) Sensitivity and Reliability AMC Seminar, / 34

19 Problem Statement Standard Normal Space To find design point, transform all random variables to space of uncorrelated, standard normals, u, with joint PDF ( 1 φ(u) = exp 1 ) (2π) n/2 2 ut u Find design point, u, in u-space (15) min u 2 (16) g(u)=0 Rotational symmetry of u-space: p f from inverse normal CDF φ(u) un u n u u 1 M. H. Scott (OSU) Sensitivity and Reliability AMC Seminar, /

20 Computing Reliability HLRF Iteration Find design point, u, by Hasofer-Lind-Rackwitz-Fiessler (HLRF) iteration Start at u 0 (usually at mean point 0), then u m+1 = ( α T u m + g(x) u g where α = ug u g Converges to a point where with the reliability index Probability of failure from normal CDF ) α (17) (18) u = βα (19) β = α T u (20) p f = Φ( β) (21) M. H. Scott (OSU) Sensitivity and Reliability AMC Seminar, / 34

21 Convergence of HLRF Iteration Design point, u, where Computing Reliability or magnitude is less than a specified tolerance u α T u α = 0 (22) u α T u α 2 tol (23) u n α α T u m α u m α T u m α u m u 1 g = 0 M. H. Scott (OSU) Sensitivity and Reliability AMC Seminar, / 34

22 Failure Sensitivity Sensitivity Vector The vector α is unit normal to failure surface α = ug u g In addition to providing search directions for HLRF iteration, component α i indicates The nature of random variable i in u-space (α i > 0 load, α i < 0 resistance) The importance (via magnitude) of random variable i relative to other random variables in u-space Transform to original x-space in order to determine nature and importance of random variables in problem domain Depends on α and Jacobian of x-u transformation M. H. Scott (OSU) Sensitivity and Reliability AMC Seminar, / 34

23 Failure Sensitivity Computation of Sensitivity Vector All measures of sensitivity and importance depend on the gradient of the limit state function u g = x g x u x/ u Jacobian of x-u transformation (24) For a limit state function defined in x-space in terms of finite element response, U f, which depends on an uncertain parameter θ, the chain rule gives x g = g U f U f θ θ x g/ U f analytic derivative of limit state function U f / θ nodal response sensitivity of FE model θ/ x mapping of random variable to FE model parameter (25) M. H. Scott (OSU) Sensitivity and Reliability AMC Seminar, / 34

24 Failure Sensitivity Direct Differentiation Analytical U f / θ in gradient of limit state function Pros: Cons: Requires as many limit state function evaluations as HLRF iterations Compute sensitivity as analysis proceeds Use factorized stiffness matrix, K T, for each parameter of FE model Not subject to round off error (beyond that of FE analysis) Difficult to implement Must be implemented for all objects present in FE analysis when path-dependency is present M. H. Scott (OSU) Sensitivity and Reliability AMC Seminar, / 34

25 Failure Sensitivity Finite Differences Approximate U f / θ in gradient of limit state function Pros: Cons: Easy to implement Applicable for free to all objects in FE analysis Requires more limit state function evaulations than HLRF iterations Re-run analysis for each parameter perturbation Reform and factorize tangent stiffness matrix, K T, for each parameter perturbation at each iteration Subject to round off error based on parameter perturbation M.
