The Chain of Bundle Model, which is based on a stochastic material model by Weibull and log-normal distribution, will be developed and the possibility to approximately determine the parameter ξ of the model is given. The tests were performed on specimens from the same steel with different sizes. According to the experiments, the relationship between the sizes of the specimens and the strength can be analyzed through probability- and reliability theory. The theoretical and experimental results show that if the volume increases hundredfold, the strength will be reduced to 90% ~ 95%. Therefore, the size effect plays an unnegligible role in steel construction.

This randomness results in uncertain response of the structure in the sequentially coupled thermal-mechanical analysis by welding simulation. Because of the limitations of deterministic welding simulation, the stochastic finite element method with random field will be introduced into the welding simulation, so that the welded structure can be more accurately calculated in the stability and reliability structural analysis. Particularly, it is necessary to propose reasonable distributions of residual stress from welding simulations based on statistical and reliability theories. This paper is intended to implement the stochastic finite element method in the welding simulation using a general-purpose simulation program and to demonstrate the potential of the proposed approach. Furthermore, the statistical distribution function of the welding simulation response is obtained by maximum entropy fitting method. Then, a numerical example is presented by the proposed method.

This study described the randomness of material properties through two different ways. These two proposed simulation methods, which are an extension and supplement to traditional simulation methods, can effectively simulate the statistical size effect for the tensile and flexural components in steel structures. The test results show that the variations of the yield and tensile strength increase with the decreasing specimen volume. Besides, the structural component strength is not only related to the specimen volume, but also the stress distribution. It is found by studying the influence of statistical size effect on structural reliability that the strength, which is obtained by small specimens through statistical analysis in the laboratory, is no more accurately applicable to large construction. The core idea is that the stochastic material proper-ties are directly embedded in mechanical calculations to develop a more accurate and economical design method for steel structure.
