TY - THES A1 - Schorling, York T1 - Beitrag zur Stabilitätsuntersuchung von Strukturen mit räumlich korrelierten geometrischen Imperfektionen N2 - Für geometrisch imperfekte Strukturen wird die Versagenswahrscheinlichkeit bezüglich Stabilitätskriterien bestimmt. Eine probabilistische Beschreibung der geometrischen Imperfektionen erfolgt mit skalaren ortsdiskretisierten Zufallsfeldern. Die Stabilitätsberechnungen werden mit der Finite Elemente Methode durchgeführt. Ausgangspunkt der Berechnung ist eine systematische Formulierung probabilistisch gewichteter Imperfektionsformen durch eine Eigenwertzerlegung der Kovarianzmatrix. Wenn mit einer strukturmechanisch orientierten Sensitivitätsanalyse ein Unterraum zur näherungsweisen Beschreibung des probabilistischen Strukturverhaltens gefunden wird, kann die Versagenswahrscheinlichkeit numerisch sehr effizient durch ein Interaktionsmodell bestimmt werden. Es zeigte sich, daß dies genau dann möglich ist, wenn die Beulform merklich im Imperfektionsfeld enthalten ist. Die Imperfektionsform am Bemessungspunkt entspricht dann, unabhängig vom Lastniveau, gerade der Beulform. Wenn die Beulform im Imperfektionsfeld einen untergeordneten Beitrag liefert, erscheint eine Reduktion des stochastischen Problems auf wenige Zufallsvariablen dagegen nicht möglich. N2 - The thesis presents a concept for reliability analysis of geometrical imperfect structures with respect to static stability criteria. The geometrical imperfections are modeled as Gaussian random fields. The structural analysis is based on the Finite Element Method. A spectral decomposition of the covariance matrix, enables to formulate independent probabilistically weighted imperfections shapes, which may be analyzed by means of structural mechanics. Reliability calculations with procedures such as the response surface method require the reduction of the random variable space. Examples proved that a suitable definition of a subspace of the random variable space is possible, if the buckling shapes are sufficiently included in the random field. In this case the imperfection shape is-independent of the load level-identical to the buckling shape. In contrast if the buckling shapes are not included in the random field, the structure shows a wide banded behavior. Consequently a reduction of the variable space and the application of an interaction models is then not feasible for the determination of the failure probabilty.

This process started with the modeling of loading uncertainties. More recently, also system uncertainty, such as physical or geometrical imperfections are modeled in probabilistic terms. Clearly, this task requires close connenction of structural modeling with probabilistic modeling. Nonlinear effects are essential for a realistic description of the structural behavior. Since modern structural analysis relies quite heavily on the Finite Element Method, it seems to be quite reasonable to base stochastic structural analysis on this method. Commercially available software packages can cover deterministic structural analysis in a very wide range. However, the applicability of these packages to stochastic problems is rather limited. On the other hand, there is a number of highly specialized programs for probabilistic or reliability problems which can be used only in connection with rather simplistic structural models. In principle, there is the possibility to combine both kinds of software in order to achieve the goal. The major difficulty which then arises in practical computation is to define the most suitable way of transferring data between the programs. In order to circumvent these problems, the software package SLang (Structural Language) has been developed. SLang is a command interpreter which acts on a set of relatively complex commands. Each command takes input from and gives output to simple data structures (data objects), such as vectors and matrices. All commands communicate via these data objects which are stored in memory or on disk. The paper will show applications to structural engineering problems, in particular failure analysis of frames and shell structures with random loads and random imperfections. Both geometrical and physical nonlinearities are taken into account.
