Abstract

In this paper, we propose a method to bound the first excursion probability of uncertain linear systems subjected to Gaussian loading. Specifically, a case is considered, where the structural behaviour is affected by both interval and random variables. Further, the structure is subjected to a Gaussian stochastic process load, and it is of interest to estimate the bounds on the corresponding first excursion probability. To solve this kind of problem, an extension to the recently developed operator norm framework is proposed. This approach becomes applicable to oscillators that are described by random quantities. Specifically, this is obtained by representing the parametric dependency of the oscillator's system matrices to the random quantities by means of a first-order Taylor series expansion. A case study of a three-story concrete frame subjected to a stochastic wind load is included in the paper to illustrate the functionality and efficiency of the approach.
