Abstract

This paper presents an adaptive-sparse polynomial chaos expansion (adaptive-sparse PCE) method for performing engineering reliability analysis and design. The proposed method combines three ideas: (i) an adaptive-sparse scheme to build sparse PCE with the minimum number of bivariate basis functions, (ii) a new projection method using dimension reduction techniques to effectively compute the expansion coefficients of system responses, and (iii) an integration of copula to handle nonlinear correlation of input random variables. The proposed method thus has three positive features for reliability analysis and design: (a) there is no need for response sensitivity analysis, (b) it is highly efficient and accurate for reliability analysis and its sensitivity analysis, and (c) it is capable of handling a nonlinear correlation. In addition to the features, an error decomposition scheme for the proposed method is presented to help analyze error sources in probability analysis. Several engineering problems are used to demonstrate the three positive features of the adaptive-sparse PCE method.
