본 논문의 주목적은 불연속 또는 연속계 구조물의 시스템 신뢰성해석(system reliability analysis)을 위한 보다 일반적인 방법을 소개하는데 있다. 본 논문에서는, 확대하중증분법(extended incremental load method)이라고 불리우는데, 지금까지의 신뢰성 해석법 중 종래의 하중증분법이 갖는 단점을 보완하고, 여러 형태의 하중이 작용하는 구조물에 대해, 부재의 파괴후 거동(post-ultimate behaviour)을 다른 방법보다 더 실제적으로 고려할 수 있는 장점을 갖도록 개발한 것이다. 본 방법의 또 하나의 장점은 구조설계시 사용하는 강도공식(strength formula) 을 시스템 신뢰성 해석에서 직접 이용할 수 있다는 점이다. 이 방법은 부유식 해양구조물 같은 연속계 구조물의 시스템 신뢰성 해석을 위해 개발되었는데, 이 논문에서는 실제 구조물은 다루지 않고, 방법의 정당성과 아울러 수정된 안전여유식의 적용가능성을 보여주는 것에 중점을 두었다. 본 논문의 부유식 해양구조물들에 적용한 결과는 후일 발표할 예정이다.

This paper is an attempt to account for the uncertainty of the residual strength in the reliability analysis of structural systems. For this purpose the stochastic finite element method(SFEM) is linked to the system reliability analysis procedure. The stochastic finite element is known to be able to a more explicitly consider the effect of uncerainties of material and geometric variables on those of load effects in structural analysis procedure. The method has been applied to system as well as component reliability analysis of a plane structure. Comparison of the results by the present approach is made with the method in which the residual strength of failed component is treated as deterministic variable. Several case studies have been carried to show the effect of uncertainty in residual strength of a member after failure. Is has been conformed that reidual strength very much affect the system reliability level. It can be, hence, concluded that the uncertainties in the post-ultirnate behaviour may have to be taken into account in the system reliability analysis for a better a ssessment of the system reliability especially for a structure of which member behaviour is modelled as asemi-brittle model. And then the stochastic finite element method can efficiently evaluate the system reliability.

본 논문에서는 실용적 체계신뢰성에 기초한 강사장교의 안전도평가를 위한 체계적인 모형을 제안하였다. 공용중인 강사장교의 시스템 안전도평가를 위하여 요소신뢰성해석을 위한 케이블, 주형 그리고 주탑의 한계 상태모형과 각 요소들간의 조합파괴를 포함하는 주파괴경로를 정의할 수 있는 체계신뢰성해석 모형을 제안하였다. 요소신뢰성해석을 위한 수치해석기법으로는 AFOSM(Advanced First Order Second Moment) 방법을 사용하였고, 체계신뢰성해석을 위해서는 부분 ETA(partial Event Tree Analysis) 모형을 사용하였다. 제안된 방법의 타당성을 고찰하기 위하여 진도대교의 안전도 평가에 적용하였다. 부분 ETA 모혀을 사용한 체계신뢰성 평가 방법은 기존의 요소신뢰성 방법에 비해 구조물의 여용성을 충분히 반영하는 상당히 합리적이며 실제적인 결과를 보여주는 실용적인 방법으로 판단된다.

The reliability analysis for web frame of tanker is carried out by the probabilistic finite element method combined with the classical reliability method such as MVFOSM and AFOSM which can be used for calculating the probability of failure for the complicated structures in which the limit state equation is implicitly expressed. As random variables external load, elastic modulus, sectional moment of inertia and field stress are chosen and Parkinson's iteration algorithm in AFOSM is used for reliability analysis. By adding only the covariance data of the random variables to the input data set required for conventional finite element method, the present method can easily calculate the probability of failure at every element end as well as the covariances of structural reponses such as displacements at every element end and member forces at every element, even for the complicated ship structure.

본 기사에서는 모델링불확실성(modeling uncertainty)에 따른 신뢰성 해석결과의 가변성(variability)을 가능성 분포함수(possibility distribution function)를 구성하여 해결하는 방법을 AISC(1998), AIJ(1985), CSA(1994)에서 제안된 3개의 최대 D/t 계산식을 예로 들어 소개하였다. 확신정도가 측정된 신뢰성지수 들을 얻을 수 있으며, 확신정도를 고려한 신뢰성지수의 결정이 가능하게 된다. 다양한 형태의 불확실성에 대하여 그 형태에 맞는 적합한 불확실성 모델링을 사용하는 것도 중요하지만, 확률적 표현에 익숙한 우리의 인지구조를 고려하여 기존의 신뢰성 해석에 어떻게 다양한 불확실성 모델링 방법을 접목시킬 것인지에 대한 연구도 중요할 것이다.

This study presented the basic data for determining reasonable construction method and evaluating the structural safety of suspension bridges. The analytical program was developed to conduct initial shape and natural frequency analysis, construction stage analysis and reliability analysis considering construction sequences. This program was based on analysis models of suspension bridges and reliability theories used in the previous study. A construction method was established considering various construction variables such as construction order and construction direction of girder and synchronized construction of main and side span etc. The dynamic construction analysis by a construction scheme was conducted with the developed program. Benefits of the characteristic analysis by the construction scheme was presented estimating structural response of critical members respectively. Structural reliability analysis by construction stage was conducted considering aleatory uncertainties. The safety of suspension bridges by established construction method was quantitatively estimated using reliability index and failure probability. Analytical results were re-estimated considering epistemic uncertainties, and critical percentile distributions of risk at the construction stage were presented using the frequency histogram.

This is concerned with the structural reliability analysis(RA) considering uncertainties in material properties. This method is performed by the stochastic process using Kriging with calculating the distribution of probability and equation of limit state for saving calculated and analyzed time. The proposed methodology is applied to the rocket motor case and compared with monte-calro simulation in efficiency and accuracy of this process.

Most of the civil structure - bridges, offshore structures, plant, etc. - have been designed by the classical approaches which deal with all the design parameters as deterministic variables. However, some more advanced techniques are required to evaluate the inherent randomness and uncertainty of each design variable. In this research, a seismic safety assessment algorithm based on the structural reliability analysis has been formulated and computerized for more reasonable seismic design of turbine-generator foundations. The formulation takes the design parameters of the system and loading properties as random variables. Using the proposed method, various kinds of parametric studies have been performed and probabilistic characteristics of the resulted structural responses have been evaluated. Afterwards, the probabilistic safety of the system has been quantitatively evaluated and finally presented as the reliability indexes and failure probabilities. The proposed procedure is expected to be used as a fundamental tool to improve the existing design techniques of turbine-generator foundations.

This study is concerned with the reliability analysis and its based design of midship section against the ultimate bending strength. Eight bulk carriers and seven oil tankers over 100m length are chosen for the present study. Target reliability indices for the two ship types have been derived based on the results reliability analysis of the present ship models. Reliability-based structural design codes are proposed for use in design of midship section of bulk carriers and oil tankers. The design codes proposed in this study have been successfully applied to re-design of midship section of the present ship types. It has been found that the proposed codes can provide more uniform structural design results.

최적설계는 설계자가 요구하는 제한조건을 만족시키는 범위에서 목적함수가 최소가 되는 설계점을 찾는 방법이다. 그러나 기존의 최적설계는 불확실성의 영향을 고려하지 않아 최적해가 제한조건의 경계에 위치하고 이것은 모델링과정이나 가공 등으로 인한 오차에 대한 영향을 고려하지 않는 문제점이 있다. 신뢰성 기반 최적설계는 불확실성을 정량화하면서 신뢰도를 계산하는 신뢰도 해석과정과 최적설계과정을 포함한다. 일반적으로 신뢰성 해석은 크게 추출법, 급속 확률 적분법, 모멘트 기반 신뢰성해석이 있다. 가장 널리 사용되는 급속 확률 적분법 중 최대 손상 가능점(MPP) 방법은 많은 MPP점이 존재하는 경우 수치적 비용이 증가하는 문제점과 표준 정규분포 공간으로 변환하는 과정에서 제한조건의 비선형성을 증가시켜 큰 오차를 발생시키는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 RBDO를 수행하기에 앞서 선행되어야 할 신뢰성해석 방법으로 곱분해기법을 사용하였고 이로부터 민감도 정보를 유도하여 기울기 기반 최적화 알고리즘을 적용하였다.
