However, effective training of deep neural networks generally necessitates extensive data, while their acquisition remains constrained by the time-consuming refined simulations and the high-cost experiments. Here a novel Iterative Self-training Enhanced Transfer Learning (ISTL) method is proposed for deep neural network training to improve seismic time history response prediction accuracy, especially in data scarcity scenarios. ISTL method leverages self-training method to augment abundant samples without additional experiments while integrating domain adaptation with novel output conditional distribution regularization to enhance learning through augmented knowledge. Three experiments validate the proposed method by predicting responses from numerical simulations of a nonlinear frame structure, shake-table testing of a linear frame structure, and field-sensing records of an instrumented shear-wall structure. The results show that ISTL method can eliminate the need for additional experiments and improve prediction performance by up to 60 % over conventional direct training process, underscoring its potential for developing robust predictive models for structural time history responses.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50626,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Structures","volume":"316 ","pages":"Article 107840"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144253805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While hierarchical data structures based on spatial or geometric partitioning have been extensively studied over the past 40 years, research detailing their adaptation to massively distributed environments using the message passing interface library—specifically how the communications are done and optimized for parallel efficiency—remains under-explored. We quantify the impact of various design choices to achieve rapid contact detection in massively distributed simulations using bounding volume hierarchies. The memory layout is optimized by reducing the hierarchy node size and ordering them with an innovative “L-filling curve” pattern. Next, the impact of a tandem traversal algorithm is analyzed, along with the optimal exploration order of both hierarchies’ nodes. The parallelization of this tandem traversal is presented, focusing on balancing message latency and volume to enhance parallel efficiency. These design choices extend to a wide range of applications and data structures. Finally, the algorithm’s strong performance is demonstrated up to 20,000 MPI tasks to handle tens of billions of intersections on very large meshes exceeding 100 billion elements.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50626,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Structures","volume":"316 ","pages":"Article 107843"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144229807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The asymmetric rotor topology is particularly suited for micromobility applications, which benefit from shifting inset magnets, as reverse motoring is rarely required. However, this design could be more sensitive to manufacturing and positioning errors of the magnets. To investigate the effects of the uncertainties of the shifted surface inset magnets, first, an optimal topology is selected based on average torque, torque ripple, and cogging torque using the NSGA-II optimisation method. The effects of the magnet shifting and its robustness are analysed using the Taguchi and ANOVA methods, validated by Full Factorial calculations.

Torque ripple may exceed this limit up to 14.77 %. However, the likelihood of exceeding the threshold is only 12.10 %.

The proposed new class of FD operators combine short-range interpolation with long-range approximation over their support. Polynomial approximation is realized using weighted least squares, whereas polynomial interpolation is enforced using Lagrange multipliers. This partially constrained polynomial (PCP) FD operator is implemented through a proposed algorithm that automatically selects the stencil size and short range radius, such that the numerical error of the stencil weights due to potential ill-conditioning is below a selected tolerance. Using the PCP-FD operators, a meshless method for 2D elasto-static problems was formulated. Instabilities that are often inherent in strong form methods are addressed by introducing additional equations of field equilibrium over a set of additional points within the solid/domain. The resulting overdetermined set of equations is solved as a constrained least squares problem using Lagrange multipliers to enforce traction BCs, which bypasses the need for scaling of the traction BC equations, as is often the case in weighted collocation methods. The proposed meshless method is evaluated in several examples and is shown to achieve high accuracy that is usually better than that of the finite element method.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50626,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Structures","volume":"316 ","pages":"Article 107841"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144203900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
