Development of Structural Dynamic Analysis Software of Truss Structure Using Monte Carlo Finite Element Method

Abstract

Structural reliability analysis is increasingly used in conjunction with the design of offshore structures which have high uncertainty. Two problems i.e. reliability and complexity of the structures resulted in Monte Carlo Finite Element Method (MCFEM) method of analysis. In the first part of this research, we will show results comparison between deterministic analysis software made in Proposed Software and analysis using commercial established software. In this case, object will assume as a simple Plane Truss structure with multi degrees of freedom applied dynamic load in the support of structure. The second part after obtaining a deterministic result compared by commercial software, further we will apply MCFEM algorithm to the deterministic analysis algorithm which has been made. The results of this research, contains a new procedure in the form of reliability simulation algorithm by combining Monte Carlo Simulation and Finite Element Method in Dynamic Model.
