It is quite difficult to calculate the collapse probability of a system such as statically indeterminate structure that has many possible modes or paths to complete failure and the problem has remained essentially unsolved. A structure is synthesized by several components or elements and its capacity to resist the given loads is a function of the capacity of the individual element. Thus it is reasonable to assess the probability of failure of the system based upon those of its elements. This paper proposes an efficient technique to directly assess the reliability of a complex structural system from the reliabilities of its components or elements. The theory for the calculation of the probability of a structural system is presented. The target requirements of the method and the fundamental assumptions governing the method are clearly stated. A portal frame and two trusses are selected to demonstrate the efficiency of the method by comparing the results obtained from the proposed method to those from the existing methods in the literature.

Generally, cable-stayed bridges are both statically indeterminate structure with a high degree of redundancy and flexible structure. So it is very important to ensure precision control during both fabrication and construction. In precision control of cable-stayed bridges, precision control under multi-objective programming method is needed, because precision control problem of cable-stayed bridges is a multi-objective programming problem in which many objective functions are regard as variables. In previous studies, it was regarded as a single-objective problem, so it had many problems in respect of usefulness and rationalness. In this study, precision control under multi-objective programming method is proposed considering economy, efficiency, and safety at best in precision control of cable-stayed bridges. Precision control problem of cable-stayed bridges is formulated with satisfying trade-off method which is a kind of multi-objective programming method, then it is optimized with min-max method. A computer program is presented including above process.

This study focuses on an analytical approach to calculate four crane lifting forces for heavy ship hull blocks considering elongations of lilting slings. Four-crane-lifting is a redundant problem. During lifting procedures, in addition to the force and moment equilibrium equations, a compatibility condition is introduced to determine 4 unknown lifting forces. For verification of the method, a ship hull block with field measurements data is analyzed and the result shows that the information obtained by current method could be useful to engineers to conduct lifting work at shipyards.

Angular contact ball bearings are often adopted for a high-speed spindle owing to their durability against axial and radial loads. The dynamic characteristics of an angular contact ball bearing, however, are very complicated because they are dependent on the applied loads as well as on the system configuration. This study systematically analyzes the radial-load-dependent characteristics of spindles as well as angular contact ball bearings. Toward this end, a spindle dynamic model along with the bearing dynamics model is established. An iterative solution algorithm is implemented to resolve the statically indeterminate problem associated with spindle-bearing systems subjected to radial load. Two numerical examples are provided to investigate the spindle and bearing characteristics as a function of radial load with regard to the system configuration.

Gerotor is a planar mechanism consisting of a rotor and lobes which form a closed space, namely a chamber. As active contact points between a rotor and lobes are subjected to very high contact stresses, wear in one or both of the rotor and lobe cannot be avoided. Therefore, in the design of Gerotor used in hydraulic motors a compromise between high torque output and contact stress is of great importance and a thorough analysis of design parameters should be conducted to achieve this compromise. In this study, a contact point is modelled as a linear spring in consideration of equivalent curvature to analyze the contact stress. As the contact stress calculation in this problem is a statically indeterminate type, a numerical iterative scheme has been adopted to obtain the solution. To fully understand the influence of design parameters on the contact stress, the relationship between pressure force, equivalent curvature, contact force and contact stress are analyzed. It is shown that the equivalent curvature of the contact point is a dominant factor that affects the maximum contact stress.
