Abstract
In this work, it is proposed a Kriging/FORM-based reliability assessment of rotor-bearing systems. The motivation is to signicantly reduce computation effort in limit-state function evaluation by using surrogate models for rotordynamics. Usually, the analysis of rotor-bearing systems dynamic features relies on the Finite Element (FE) method, which may lead to complex and time consuming simulation procedures. Approximations of the input/output relationships created by the FE simulations can be obtained using the Kriging interpolating method. The derived models work as fast-running surrogates for the underlying computer model. Comparison of the results from Kriging surrogates generated using different training samples shows that these low-dimension mathematical relationships can accurately predict rotor-bearing system outputs with considerably low training effort. Subsequently, these surrogates are used to approximate and replace implicit limit-state functions for a Kriging-based reliability assessment by means of the first-order reliability method (FORM). The proposed methodology shows impressive gains in reducing the computation cost with minimal loss in terms of reliability prediction when compared with the classical Monte Carlo simulation approach.
