Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems help ensure the reliability of these systems by providing continuous monitoring of the state of the structure. SHM relies on synthesizing measured data with a predictive model to make informed decisions about structural state. However, these models-which may be thought of as a form of a digital twin-need to be updated continuously as structural changes (e.g., due to damage) arise. We propose an uncertainty-aware machine learning model that enforces distance preservation of the original input state space and then encodes a distance-aware mechanism via a Gaussian process (GP) kernel. The proposed approach leverages the spectral-normalized neural GP algorithm to combine the flexibility of neural networks with the advantages of GP, subjected to structure-preserving constraints, to produce an uncertainty-aware model. This model is used to detect domain shift due to structural changes that cannot be observed directly because they may be spatially isolated (e.g., inside a joint or localized damage). This work leverages detection theory to detect domain shift systematically given statistical features of the prediction variance produced by the model. The proposed approach is demonstrated on a nonlinear structure being subjected to damage conditions. It is shown that the proposed approach is able to rely on distances of the transformed input state space to predict increased variance in shifted domains while being robust to normative changes.","PeriodicalId":504755,"journal":{"name":"ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems, Part B: Mechanical Engineering","volume":"36 20","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141800843","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the parallel cracks is placed at the interface of the elastic strip I and the FGM strip, and another is at the interface of the FGM strip and elastic strip II. A stationary stochastic process of time is used to model the dynamic loadings that are applied to the crack faces. To find the solution, the FGM strip is splited into a number of sub-strips, and using an average method, the material properties of each sub-strip are reduced to random variables. A fundamental problem is formulated to find the solution. The boundary conditions are reduced to a set of singular integral equations employing the Fourier sine, Fourier cosine, and Laplace transforms, which are solved by using the Collocation method. Further, the analytical expressions of dynamic stress intensity factors (DSIFs) about the crack tips in the time domain are obtained with the help of the Improved Dubner and Abate's method. Finally, the Monte Carlo method is used to obtain the mathematical expectation and standard deviation of DSIFs. The outcomes of the present study are also verified. The unique aspect of this study is the pictorial illustration of mathematical expectation and standard deviation as functions of the number of sub-strips, functionally graded parameter, thickness of the strips, and length of parallel interfacial cracks.","PeriodicalId":504755,"journal":{"name":"ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems, Part B: Mechanical Engineering","volume":"41 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141649142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, considering spatial uncertainties in multi-fidelity surrogate modeling remains extremely challenging due to the curse of dimensionality. To address this challenge, this paper introduces a deep learning-based multi-fidelity surrogate modeling approach that fuses multi-fidelity datasets for high-dimensional reliability analysis of complex structures. It first involves a heterogeneous dimension transformation approach to bridge the gap in terms of input format between the low-fidelity and high-fidelity domains. Then, an explainable deep convolutional dimension-reduction network is proposed to effectively reduce the dimensionality of the structural reliability problems. To obtain a meaningful low dimensional space, a new knowledge reasoning-based loss regularization mechanism is integrated with the covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy to encourage an unbiased linear pattern in the latent space for reliability predictions. Then, the high-fidelity data can be utilized for bias modeling using Gaussian process regression. Finally, Monte Carlo simulation is employed for the propagation of high-dimensional spatial uncertainties. Two structural examples are utilized to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":504755,"journal":{"name":"ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems, Part B: Mechanical Engineering","volume":"19 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141687565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The physics-based analysis, however, may not accurately reflect the underlying true physics due to various uncertainty sources and needs to be updated using Bayesian inference methods based on observations to make the prediction closer to field observations. However, traditional Bayesian inference requires the evaluation of a likelihood function, which is often unavailable due to the complex model architecture and various surrogate models used in the analysis. Therefore, likelihood-free inference approaches are required for the updating of the multi-scale corrosion simulation models. This paper meets this need by proposing a conditional invertible neural network (cINN)-based Bayesian model updating method for an existing corrosion simulation model. We first train an cINN model based on simulated observations generated from a high-fidelity forward corrosion analysis model. A convolutional neural network (CNN)-based feature extraction algorithm is then employed to extract key features from corrosion images. After that, the extracted corrosion features from CNN is used as inputs of the cINN model to directly obtain posterior distributions of uncertain corrosion model parameters without evaluating the likelihood function. The results show that the proposed cINN-based model updating approach can provide more accurate inference results with a reduced computational cost in comparison to the classical approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) approach.","PeriodicalId":504755,"journal":{"name":"ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems, Part B: Mechanical Engineering","volume":"10 40","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141684241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the volume fluctuation of the silicon anode caused by lithiation during the discharging process causes continuous capacity decay and poor cycling life. Besides, uncertainties are inherent in the manufacturing and usage processes, making it crucial to systematically consider them in the silicon anode design to improve its performance and reliability. To fill the gap between current silicon anode research and future industrial need, this study established a digital twin to investigate the optimal design for silicon anode under the uncertainties of additive manufacturing and battery usage. This study started with developing multiphysics finite element models of the silicon anode lithiation process to investigate the volume fluctuation of silicon. Then, surrogate models were built based on the results from the finite element models to reduce computational cost. The reliability-based design optimization was employed to find the best design point for the silicon anode, in which an outer optimization loop maximized the objective function and an inner loop dedicated to reliability analysis.

They rely on smaller swept areas, as a complement to larger horizontal-axis wind turbines. A torsional-flutter-based apparatus is investigated herein to extract wind energy. A nonlinear hybrid restoring toque mechanism, installed at equally spaced supports, is used to produce energy through limit-cycle vibration. Energy conversion and storage from the wind flow are enabled by eddy currents. The apparatus is used during thunderstorm outflows to explore the efficiency in non-ideal wind conditions. The thunderstorm flow model accounts for both non-stationary turbulence and slowly varying mean speed, replicating thunderstorm's intensification and decay stages. This paper evolves from a recent study to examine stochastic stability. More Specifically, the output power is a random process that is derived numerically. Various thunderstorm features and variable apparatus configurations are evaluated. Numerical investigations confirm the detrimental effect of non-ideal, thunderstorms on harvester performance with, on average, an adverse increment of operational speed (about +30%). Besides nonlinear damping, the benign flutter-prone effect is controlled by the square of the flapping angle. Since flapping amplitudes are moderate at sustained flutter, activation of the apparatus is delayed and exacerbated by the non-stationary outflow and aeroelastic load features. Finally, efficiency is carefully investigated by quantification of output power and “quality factor”.","PeriodicalId":504755,"journal":{"name":"ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems, Part B: Mechanical Engineering","volume":"10 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140963699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
