“…It is known that such structures are prone to instability under dynamic seismic loads. 1 The investigation of dynamic instability of these structures is therefore initiated. 2,3 Due to the complexities of geometric nonlinearity and plastic deformation in materials involved in dynamic stability analysis of domes, several practical criteria for identi¯cation of dynamic instability have been proposed.…”

“…8 Excessive development of plastic deformation may also be found extensively, which leads to the so-called \strength failure". 1 On the other hand, it has been recognized that the seismic ground motion applied to dome structures exhibits an obvious character of randomness. 9 Thus, a challenging issue arises naturally that how to evaluate the failure probability with consideration of dynamic instability and strength failure together.…”

The intrinsic relationship between deterministic system and stochastic system is profoundly revealed by the probability density evolution method (PDEM) with introduction of physical law into the stochastic system. On this basis, stochastic dynamic stability analysis of single-layer dome structures under stochastic seismic excitation is firstly studied via incorporating an energetic physical criterion for identification of dynamic instability of dome structures into PDEM, which yields to sample stability (stable reliability). However, dynamic instability is not identical to structural failure definitely, where strength failure can be experienced not only in the stable structure but also when the structure is out of dynamic stability. It is practically feasible to decouple the stochastic dynamic response of dome structures to be a stable one and an unstable one according to the generalized density evolution equation (GDEE). Consequently, the global failure probability can be investigated separately based on the corresponding independent stochastic response. For unstable failure probability assessment, the failure probability is the unstable probability if the dome's failure is attributed to instability, whereas inverse absorbing is firstly implemented to get rid of the stochastic response before instability and a complementary process is filled in the safe domain immediately to finally assess the probability of strength failure after dynamic instability.
