Abstract

This contribution presents a state-space framework for performing the reliability analysis of uncertain structural systems in the presence of active control and stochastic excitation. The control framework is general enough to allow use of modern robust techniques, e.g. H₂ and H_Omega, as well as more classical regulations such as LQG. To deal with system uncertainties, the perturbative version of the finite-element method is adopted with the aim of computing the statistics of the extreme response of the structure. Eventually, reliabilities are computed via asymptotic techniques for both the controlled and uncontrolled cases within a few numerical examples.
