However, these surrogate models can introduce predictive errors, introducing epistemic uncertainty. The challenge arises when dealing with image input data, which is inherently high-dimensional, making it challenging to apply existing Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) techniques effectively. To address this challenge, this study develops a new UQ methodology based on an existing concept of combining Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Gaussian Process Regression (GPR). This CNN-GP method converts both numerical and image inputs into a unified, larger-sized image dataset, enabling direct dimension reduction with CNN. Subsequently, GPR constructs the surrogate model, not only providing predictions but also quantifying the associated model uncertainty. This approach ensures that the surrogate model considers both input-related aleatory uncertainty and model-related epistemic uncertainty when it is used for prediction, enhancing confidence in image-based AM simulations and informed decision-making. Three examples validate the high accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":504755,"journal":{"name":"ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems, Part B: Mechanical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141006338","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}

Toolpaths are defined based on the part geometry, and in turn, these toolpaths can influence the bonding between adjacent toolpaths, especially for Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) process. In FFF, bonding between adjacent rasters is critical to the FFF part mechanical strength. And, the bonding is driven by factors such as thermal history and a deposition strategy which are dictated by the geometry of a part and process parameters. In this research, a data-driven physics-based methodology is proposed to predict the mechanical properties of FFF parts using Bayesian inference. In the proposed methodology, geometry and variance in process parameters are used to quantify uncertainties in the mechanical properties. Empirical data derived from the mesostructure of specimens are utilised to generate priors of predictors. Hamilton Monte Carlo is then used to sample the posterior distribution. Subsequently, random draw from posterior predictive distribution is performed and the results are validated against empirical date to establish the accuracy of the proposed methodology. The proposed methodology can provide more accurate prediction of the mechanical properties by considering the influence of geometry, process parameters and uncertainty in AM process.","PeriodicalId":504755,"journal":{"name":"ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems, Part B: Mechanical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141010309","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 conventional fault diagnosis methods focus on identifying the faults in the fault library, but ignored the faults outside the fault library. However, it is impossible to build a fault library for all failure types. Targeting the problem of identifying the faults outside the fault library, a hierarchical fault diagnosis method for planetary gearbox with shift-invariant dictionary and orthogonal matching pursuit with adaptive noise (OMPAN) is proposed in this paper. By k-means singular value decomposition (K-SVD) dictionary learning method and shift-invariant strategy, a shift-invariant dictionary is constructed so that the normal modulation components of signals can be completed decomposed. OMPAN algorithm is proposed, which uses the white Gaussian noise to improve the solution method of the orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm so that it can separate the modulation components in the signal more accurately. The fault feature extraction is developed via shift-invariant dictionary and OMPAN. A hierarchical classifier is proposed with 3 sub-classifiers so that both the faults in the fault library and the faults outside the fault library are identified. The effectiveness of the proposed hierarchical fault diagnosis method is validated by a planetary gearbox experiment. Result show that the proposed shift-invariant dictionary and OMPAN method has achieved a superior performance in highlighting fault features compared with other two sparse decomposition methods. The proposed hierarchical fault diagnosis approach has achieved a good performance both in classification of the faults in the fault library and identification of the faults outside the fault library.","PeriodicalId":504755,"journal":{"name":"ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems, Part B: Mechanical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141009118","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}

As these decisions are made under significant uncertainty regarding drawing configuration changes, they sometimes result in the development of new parts that, at a later design stage, will not be drawable. As a result, there is a need to increase the certainty of experience-driven drawing configuration decisions.\u0000 Complementing this process with a global sensitivity analysis can provide insight into the impact of various changes in drawing configurations on drawability, unveiling cost-effective strategies to ensure the drawability of new parts. However, when quantitative global sensitivity approaches, such as Sobol's method, are utilized, the computational requirements for obtaining Sobol indices can become prohibitive even for small application problems. To circumvent computational limitations, we evaluate the applicability of different surrogate models engaged in computing global design variable sensitivities for the drawability assessment of a deep-drawn component.\u0000 Here, we show in an exemplary application problem, that both a standard kriging model and an ensemble model can provide commendable results at a fraction of the computational cost. Moreover, we compare our surrogate models to existing approaches in the field. Furthermore, we show that the error introduced by the surrogate models is of the same order of magnitude as that from the choice of drawability measure. In consequence, our surrogate models can improve the cost-effective development of a component in the early design phase.","PeriodicalId":504755,"journal":{"name":"ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems, Part B: Mechanical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140212396","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}

To reduce the probability of tip-over accidents, manufacturers use countermeasures such as, outriggers and wheel axels that expand in width to provide a more stable base, counterweights to offset the moments generated by the telescoping boom, and controllers that limit the machine configurations to within stable envelopes. The size of stability margins is determined by industry standards that set the approved load capacity of the machine to less than the load that would induce tip-over. This paper investigates the effectiveness of such load-based safety margins for very tall aerial lifts with telescoping-booms.

However, target-based methods cannot achieve sub-pixel accuracy, and target-free methods are sensitive to environmental effects. To this end, this paper proposed a hybrid perspective of vision-based methods for estimating structural displacements, based on Mask region-based convolutional neural networks (Mask R-CNN). In proposed methods, Mask R-CNN is used to first locate the target region, and then target-free vision-based methods are used to estimate structural displacements from the located target. The performances of proposed methods were validated in a shaking table test of a cold-formed steel (CFS) wall system. It can seen that Mask R-CNN can significantly improve the accuracy of feature point matching results of the target-free method. The comparisons of estimated structural displacements using proposed methods are conducted and detailed into accuracy, stability, and computation burden, to guide the selection of the proper proposed method for the specific problem in vibration-based SHM. Proposed methods can also achieve even 1/15 pixel level accuracy.
