Abstract

The geometry of high-dimensional spaces is very different from low dimensional spaces and possesses some counter-intuitive features. It is shown that, for high dimensions, the sampling points fall far away from the origin and concentrate within an intersection between a very thin shell and a suitable equatorial slab. The well-known First-Order Reliability Method (FORM), originally formulated for low dimensions, may work well in many engineering problems of high dimension. But it is not able to reveal the level of achieved accuracy. Considering the features of high-dimensional geometry, a novel linear response surface based on Support Vector Method (SVM) is proposed for structural reliability problems of high dimension. The method is shown to outperform FORM for structural reliability problems of high dimension in terms of robustness and accuracy.
