Abstract

To analyze the effects of the different regions within input variables on failure probability, a regional importance measure (RIM) is proposed, and its properties are analyzed and verified. The proposed RIM can not only detect the important variables, but also identify regions of the input variable that contribute substantially to the failure probability. To calculate the RIM efficiently, its calculation model is transformed, and the highly efficient adaptive radial-based importance sampling (ARBIS) method is introduced. Numerical and engineering examples have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed RIM, and the efficiency and accuracy of the established ARBIS method.
