Abstract

This contribution introduces a strategy for assessing first excursion probabilities for linear structural systems subject to stochastic excitation of Gaussian type where uncertainty in structural parameters is considered explicitly. The proposed strategy combines an Importance Sampling scheme with a surrogate model of the system spectral properties. The efficiency and advantages of the proposed scheme are illustrated by means of an example involving a truss structure with uncertain structural properties subject to a stochastic load.
