2 Introduction Structural reliability as a research field has emerged in the civil engineering community in the 70 s. It is nowadays a mature science with numerous domains of applications. In parallel computer power has blown up and computer simulation (e.g. finite element models) is used in all domains of engineering (e.g. civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical, etc.). Efficient computational schemes are necessary for taking the best of computational mechanics and structural reliability B.

Phys (2011) Premise Standard least-square analysis requires to choose the truncation scheme A a priori, and to have an experimental of size n > A, i.e. typically n = 3 A Sparse expansions Finding the relevant sparse basis among a large candidate basis A is a variable selection problem: l 1 penalization The Least Angle Regression (LAR) has proven efficient: A sufficient large candidate truncated basis A is selected LAR provides a sequence of less and less sparse models The best one is finally selected from leave-one-out cross-validation ɛ LOO = 1 n n { M(x (i) ) M PC\i (x (i) ) } 2 i=1 B.

15 Error estimation: bootstrap method Adaptive design Principle A PC expansion is built up in the standard normal space, with sufficient global accuracy controlled by the LOO error Monte Carlo simulation is used to evaluate ˆP f by substituting the PCE for the limit state function: P f = P ( g PC (X) 0 ) = f X (x) dx N f D f ={x : g PC (x) 0} n where e.g. n = 10 7 B.

20 Local error estimation Error estimation: bootstrap method Adaptive design Premise For a given experimental design (ED), least-square analysis provides a single set of coefficients {y α, α A} and the associated PCE By repeating the analysis (i.e. replicating it using another LHS) one gets a different set of coefficients, and a different estimation of ˆP f How to derive confidence bounds on P f,pc when using a single experimental design? B. Sudret (Chair of Risk, Safety & UQ) PC expansions in structural reliability April 10th, / 31

21 Bootstrap Introduction Error estimation: bootstrap method Adaptive design Principle Suppose a quantity θ is estimated form a random sample set X = {x 1,..., x n}, say θ = f (X ) Bootstrap consists in drawing B new samples from the original data by resampling with replacement: X = {x 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 x 7 x 8 x 9 x 10 } X (1) = {x 9 x 3 x 5 x 2 x 5 x 6 x 7 x 10 x 1 x 4 } X (2) = {x 9 x 3 x 5 x 2 x 5 x 6 x 2 x 10 x 1 x 4 }... From the B bootstrap samples X (1),..., X (B) one gets a sample set of θ s: θ = {θ 1,..., θ B } θ i = f (X (i) ) B. Sudret (Chair of Risk, Safety & UQ) PC expansions in structural reliability April 10th, / 31

22 Bootstrap PCE Introduction Error estimation: bootstrap method Adaptive design From a single experimental design X, LAR is applied and a PCE is computed, say Y = Ψ α(x) α A y (0) α Notin et al. (2010) Using the same basis and B bootstrap ED { X (b), i = 1,..., B } one gets B different PCE: Y (b) = y α (b) Ψ α(x) α A From each PCE, an estimate of P f is obtained: P (1) f,..., P (B) f Confidence intervals are obtained from the empirical quantiles B.

24 Adaptive design Introduction Error estimation: bootstrap method Adaptive design Boostrap PCE (bpce) provides B different PC expansions at the cost of a single experimental design In an adaptive ED setting, it is of interest to add new points iteratively. Candidate points are selected where the sign of the prediction varies the most along b = 1,..., B Green points: all bpce give g PC (b) x > 0 b Black points: all bpce give g PC (b) x < 0 b Interesting points are those for which sign changes B.

Sudret (Chair of Risk, Safety & UQ) PC expansions in structural reliability April 10th, / 31

27 Conclusions Introduction Error estimation: bootstrap method Adaptive design Polynomial chaos expansion is a versatile tool that allows one to build surrogate models for moment- and sensitivity analysis It can be used in one-shot for not too small probabilities of failure (e.g. P f 10 4 ) A local error criterion may be constructed using bootstrap, which leads to confidence bounds on P f An enrichment criterion based on the sign variations of the bpce predictions can be used For small probabilities of failure, importance sampling can be used...
