Under strong earthquakes the performance and safety of engineering structures are of paramount importance. In this scenario, the structures usually exhibit strong nonlinear behaviors, and simultaneously, there are large degree of randomness in both structural properties and seismic excitations. Such coupling of nonlinearity and randomness in the analysis practical structures of large degrees of freedom leads to great challenges. To this end, in the past over 10 years, we developed a family of probability density evolution method (PDEM), where the principle of preservation of probability is advocated as a basis of stochastic dynamics, and the physical mechanism/physical equations are incorporated into the random event description of this principle, leading to the generalized density evolution equation. In contrast to the traditional equations (e.g., FPK equation), this equation in a one-dimensional equation and therefore could be applied to complex systems. Numerical methods were developed. Further, combined with the stochastic damage constitutive law of concrete, we implemented the stochastic seismic response and reliability evaluation of practical concrete structures. Some engineering applications will be illustrated.
Bio : Jianbing Chen is currently a full professor on the faculty at Tongji University in the School of Civil Engineering. He specializes in the area of earthquake engineering, stochastic dynamics and structural reliability. Specifically, he is working on the development of probability density evolution method (PDEM) for performance evaluation and reliability assessment of structures/engineering systems involving randomness both in the system properties and excitations. Dr. Chen received a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from Tongji University, China in 2002. He has been a visiting scholar/visiting professor in the University of Southern California in USA (2006-2007), Taiwan University of Science and Technology in China (2011), Aalborg University in Denmark (2012), and Vienne University of Technology in Austria (2014). Dr. Chen is the co-author of an English book titled “Stochastic Dynamics of Structures” (John Wiley & Sons, 2009), the co-author of 3 Chinese books and over 150 technical publications, among which are nearly 110 peer-reviewed journal papers, in the fields of structural stochastic analysis and reliability theory. He was selected into the “NCET Plan” of MOE of China in 2007 and the “Dawn Plan (Shuguang Plan)” of Shanghai Municipal Government in 2011, was the recipient of Huo Ying Dong prize in 2012, and “National Outstanding Scientific and Technological Workers” of China in 2014. He now also serves as a member of the Joint Committee on Structural Safety (JCSS), vice Chairman of the Random Vibration Committee of the Chinese Society of Vibration Engineering (CSVE), Chairman of the Vibration Mechanics Committee of the Shanghai Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (CSTAM), and in the editorial board of “Journal of Vibration Engineering”. He was among the “Most Cited Chinese Researchers” in 2014 and 2015.
