A Study on Response Surface Method Using the Vector Projection Technique

벡터투영법을 이용한 응답면기법에 관한 연구

In this study, an improved response surface method is proposed. By using gradient projection method, the sampling points for creating response surface are evaluated at the region close to the failure surface. This points are combined with linear response surface function and Rackwitz-Fiessler algorithm. Also, a method controlling the range of selecting sampling points considering the non-linearity of the limit states is proposed to reduce the error produced by approximating the non-linear limit state to linear response surface. With the examples the result of the proposed method is found to be more accurate and efficient than the previous response surface method.
