An adaptive surrogate model to structural reliability analysis using deep neural network

作者:

Highlights:

• A DNN-based adaptive surrogate model for structural reliability analysis is proposed.

• The performance and limit state functions are evaluated by the surrogate model.

• A threshold is suggested to switch from a globally predicting model to a locally one.

• The paradigm estimates the failure probability with only a small number of samples.

• Six examples are investigated to confirm the reliability of the current methodology.
