Uncertainty quantification is applied to estimate the uncertainty of system responses, with respect to uncertain input quantities. In contrast to aleatoric uncertainty, which is based on natural variability, epistemic uncertainty is caused by lack of knowledge, incertitudes or inaccuracy. In this contribution, epistemic uncertainties are modeled by fuzzy quantities and corresponding uncertainty quantification approaches are investigated. The propagation of fuzzy quantities is based on the extension principle. For numerical analyses, a discretization of the extension principle is required, which can be reformulated as an optimization problem.

However, the existing methods for mesh simplification do not conduct the physical analysis, so simplified meshes cannot meet the accuracy requirement. To address this shortcoming, this paper presents a network model named HMSimNet for simplifying hexahedral meshes, which can reduce the number of mesh cells while maintaining analysis accuracy. First, the sheets and columns are described using four types of features: geometric, topological, quality, and physical features. Then, a dataset is constructed and used to train the HMSimNet model to learn the relationship between the features and the analysis accuracy. Finally, the probabilities of deleting the sheets and columns are determined by the HMSimNet model, and the sheets and columns with a minor impact on the analysis accuracy are removed iteratively. The experimental results demonstrate that, compared to the input hexahedral meshes, the presented method can significantly reduce the number of hexahedra by approximately 30% while having only a slight impact on the maximum relative error of the analysis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50866,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Engineering Software","volume":"202 ","pages":"Article 103874"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143179371","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}

When faced with high and complex optimization problems, it is easy to fall into local optimal solutions. To this end, this paper improved and optimized the original particle swarm optimization algorithm by introducing four stages, namely, the introduction of elite reverse learning strategy, dynamic fitment-distance balance (dFDB) strategy, subpopulation evolution strategy, factor adjustment and random position update strategy, and named the improved algorithm dFDBMPSO. Firstly, the diversity of the population is enhanced by introducing the elite reverse learning strategy in the initial stage. Secondly, in order to prevent the algorithm from identifying the optimal solution more effectively, dFDB policies are added to the algorithm to provide better guidance for the birds during the search process. In addition, subpopulation evolution strategy and random location update are introduced into the algorithm as new individual update methods, which makes the search method of birds in the algorithm more flexible. Finally, the formula factor of bird location update in the algorithm is adjusted to better balance the ability of global search and local search. In this paper, to test the performance of the proposed algorithm, the proposed algorithm is compared with a variety of comparison algorithms in different dimensions of the CEC2020 test set, four engineering design problems, two other truss topology optimization problems, and parameter optimization problems based on VCCS-FOPID vehicle control system. The experimental results show that the newly developed algorithm is superior to the previous algorithm. In addition, a new grey prediction model RC_TDGM (1,1,<em>r,ξ, Csz</em>) based on triangular residual correction and dFDBMPSO is proposed and applied to the forecast of global biofuel production.

This paper proposes a transformer neural network-based framework for steel defect detection under complex scenarios. Firstly, a comprehensive dataset of steel defects was collected, and a statistical analysis was conducted to categorize different defect types. The images were then manually labeled. The proposed framework enhances the UNet model by incorporating a transformer encoder (TransUNet) to improve the model's ability to extract defect features in complex environments. A quantitative evaluation of different models was performed on existing datasets, demonstrating that the TransUNet model surpassed other models across multiple evaluation metrics, including Intersection over Union (IoU), F1-score, precision, recall, and Dice coefficient. Secondly, simulations of complex environments for steel defect detection were conducted. Under various lighting and fog conditions, the TransUNet model consistently maintained high segmentation accuracy, with a mean IoU (mIoU) ranging from 87.11 % to 98.46 %, showing minimal variation in performance. Finally, in the verification tests of the proposed framework, the TransUNet model showcased its potential and value in detecting and segmenting defects in steel bridges. The TransUNet model consistently delivered stable segmentation results and excellent performance, whether under ideal experimental conditions or in complex real-world scenarios. The proposed method for segmenting steel defects under complex scenarios using TransUNet holds broad application prospects and high practicality for steel structure inspections.

However, the FE based approach typically takes several days to complete the meshing, boundary condition setting and HIC calculation to evaluate a single design candidate. To further increase the evaluation efficiency, this paper presents a novel HIC estimation approach based on deep learning. An end-to-end deep neural network model is proposed which can directly generate the HIC value without resorting to FE methods. It uses seven variables pertaining to the panel height, structural difference, thickness and head type as the input based on the definition of HIC. Convolution layers are utilised to aggregate the surrounding structural information for each target point. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, cross validation results are presented based on a dataset of over five thousands target points collected from 28 cars. For the green target regions, the average HIC estimation accuracy is 93.1 %, which outperforms the result of 83 % reported in previous work.
