Abstract EN
The actual structural systems have many failure modes.
Due to the same random sources owned by the performance functions of these failure modes, there usually exist some nonlinear correlations between the various failure modes.
How to handle the nonlinear correlations is one of the main scientific problems in the field of structural system reliability.
In this paper, for the two-component systems and multiple-component systems with multiple failure modes, the mixed copula models for time-independent reliability analysis of series systems, parallel systems, series-parallel systems, and parallel-series systems are presented.
These obtained mixed copula models, considering the nonlinear correlation between failure modes, are obtained with the chosen optimal copula functions with the Bayesian selection criteria and Monte Carlo Sampling (MCS) method.
And a numerical example is provided to illustrate the feasibility and application of the built mixed models for structural system reliability.
