MediumSafe

class MediumSafe(*args)

MediumSafe method.

Available constructors:

MediumSafe(solver=ot.Brent())

MediumSafe(solver, maximumDistance, stepSize)

Parameters
solverSolver

Non linear solver used to research the intersection of the limit state function with the direction, on each segment of length stepSize, between the center of the space and maximumDistance (root research).

maximumDistancepositive float

Distance from the center of the standard space until which we research an intersection with the limit state function along each direction. By default, the maximum distance is equal to the value defined through the key RootStrategyImplementation-DefaultMaximumDistance of the ResourceMap.

stepSizefloat

Length of each segment inside which the root research is performed. By default, the step size is equal to the value defined through the key RootStrategyImplementation-DefaultStepSize of the ResourceMap.

Notes

The MediumSafe strategy is the following: for each direction, we go along the direction by step of length stepSize from the origin to the maximum distant point (at distance maximumDistance from the center of the standard space) and we check whether there is a sign changement on each segment so formed.

At the first sign changement, we research one root in the concerned segment with the selected non linear solver. Then, the segment [root, maximum distant point] is considered within the failure space.

If stepSize is small enough, this strategy guarantees us to find the root which is the nearest from the origin.
