In the analysis of engineering structures are usually adopt the method of fixed value, that is the practical engineering structure under load and the performance of materials used by structure shall be treated as a constant value.But, in fact, the structure of geometry size, bear the load, material parameters,computing model and so on are affected by various factors. In order to more accurately reflect the reliability problems of reinforced concrete structures, this paper, the factors above will be regarded as random variables, combining the basic theory of reliability design, through the probability analysis, in normal uselimit state reliability of reinforced concrete structures for example analysis of the influence of related parameters on the structural reliability.

In general it is difficult to obtain the results directly during process of structural reliability designing because of the complexity of the structure. It can calculate the structure reliability and failure probability effectively according to the combination of finite element method and theory of reliability. This paper introduces a method of structure reliability based on finite element method, summarizes a common method which has an important engineering application value to calculate the reliability such as using Monte-Carlo method to calculate reliability analysis combining with finite element method, recommends a common used software to reliability design and shows the process of using the software to reliability analysis.

Parameter uncertainty of general systems is inherent in most engineering problems. Based on the regularity of oil whip and resonance for rotor system, the reliability problem of rotor system with oil whip and resonance is studied by applying random perturbation technology and reliability theory considering the correlation of the multi-order natural frequency. The reliability mode and the failure probability of rotor systems are defined. The second-order joint failure probability is obtained by using the numerical integration method. The presented method provided the theoretic basis for the reliability design of the rotor system. A numerical example demonstrated that the proposed method is effective.

In the reliability analysis of safety critical complex engineering structures, a very large number of the system parameters can be considered as random variables. The difficulty in computing the failure probability using the classical first- and second-order reliability methods (FORM and SORM) increases rapidly with the number of variables or ‘dimension’. There are mainly two reasons behind this. The first is the increase in computational time with the increase in the number of random variables. In principle, this problem can be handled with superior computational tools. The second reason, which is perhaps more fundamental, is that there are some conceptual difficulties typically associated with high dimensions. This means that even when one manages to carry out the necessary computations, the application of existing FORM and SORM may still lead to incorrect results in high dimensions. This paper is aimed at addressing this issue. Based on the asymptotic distribution of quadratic form in Gaussian random variables, two formulations for the case when the number of random variables n →∞ is provided. The first is called ‘strict asymptotic formulation’ and the second is called ‘weak asymptotic formulation’. Both approximations result in simple closed-form expressions for the probability of failure of an engineering structure. The proposed asymptotic approximations are compared with existing approximations and Monte Carlo simulations using numerical examples.

With the engineering structures becoming more complicated, it is difficult to obtain complete measurement responses with limited sensors. Thus, carrying out the underdetermined modal identification will have practical engineering application values. In this paper, a new approach for underdetermined blind modal identification based on dictionary learning in the framework of compressed sensing (CS) is proposed. The principal idea is to estimate modal shapes using a clustering technique, and recover modal responses combing the estimated mode shapes matrix and the learned dictionary. The experiment results on a typical cantilever beam structure illustrate that the proposed method can perform accurate dynamic parameters identification whether in underdetermined case or determined case.

Electromechanical devices consist mainly of rotor systems. Vibration is the result of the interaction of the elements of the rotor system and is largely determined by the accuracy of manufacturing elements at the production stage and defects arising in the process of operation. The main components of the rotor systems that affect vibration are bearings. To determine the technical condition of the bearings and the service life of the rotor system, it is necessary to accurately measure the unobservable vibrations of the rotor. The article describes the model of the channel for measuring the vibration of an electromechanical system, built using the apparatus of bond graphs. The transfer function is obtained by analyzing the signal flow graph. The systematic and random errors of vibration measurement are analyzed depending on the mass ratio between the system case and the vibration transducer for various sensor masses and attachment rigidity.

As the power source of an aircraft, aero-engine tends to meet many rigorous requirements for high thrust-weight ratio and reliability with the continuous improvement of aero-engine performance. In this paper, based on the order statistics and stochastic process theory, an improved dynamic load-strength interference (LSI) model was proposed for the reliability analysis of aero-engine rotor blade system, with strength degradation and catastrophic failure involved. In presented model, the “unconventional active” characteristic of rotor blade system, changeable functioning relationships and system-component configurations, was fully considered, which is necessary for both theoretical analysis and engineering application. In addition, to reduce the computation cost, a simplified form of the improved LSI model was also built for convenience of engineering application. To verify the effectiveness of the improved model, reliability of turbojet 7 engine rotor blade system was calculated by the improved LSI model based on the results of static finite element analysis. Compared with the traditional LSI model, the result showed that there were significant differences between the calculation results of the two models, in which the improved model was more appropriate to the practical condition.
