The machine learning models are developed using a database including experimental data points of 285 surface crack maps of damaged reinforced concrete shear walls collected from the literature. Eight different machine learning algorithms are utilized to train the damage-level classification models. The damage levels are defined according to the FEMA P-58 damage categories. In addition to the structural and geometric properties of the reinforced concrete shear walls with rectangular cross-section, three image-based indices including Succolarity, Lacunarity, and generalized fractal dimensions are measured as input features of the predictive models. Nine groups of features are selected as input for the machine learning algorithms. Using the GridsearchCV function, the hyperparameters resulting in the best algorithmic performance are chosen from a set of possible parameters. A five-fold cross-validation technique is applied to evaluate the models by resampling procedure. According to the results, the predictive model that uses the Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB) algorithm with inputs that include both structural parameters and image indices performs best in terms of both overfitting prevention and classification accuracy. The outcomes of the damage state identification can be employed for safety assessment of the reinforced concrete buildings as well as repair/demolish decision-making after an earthquake.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50866,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Engineering Software","volume":"199 ","pages":"Article 103796"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142586168","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}

This study introduces a novel trimmed non-uniform rational basis spline (NURBS) method to address these challenges and investigate the thermal buckling behavior of variable-stiffness plates. The method generates trimmed NURBS elements using a level-set function on the initial NURBS mesh to describe complex geometries.

Distributed fiber optic sensing system (DFOS) is considered as one of the ideal methods for leakage monitoring in earth-rock dams. However, the working conditions of earth-rock dams are complex, and the identification of fiber optic temperature measurements has issues such as low efficiency and high misjudgment rate. For improving the identification efficiency and accuracy of fiber optic temperature measurements in earth-rock dams, a signal identification method integrating least squares generative adversarial network (LSGAN), one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1DCNN), and white shark optimization (WSO) algorithm is presented. Firstly, the LSGAN model is used to augment the signals of different categories to reduce the effect of data set unbalance on the identification result. According to the variation characteristics of fiber optic temperature measurement signals in earth-rock dams, a 1DCNN model is designed to extract signal features for classification. To reduce the blindness in hyperparameter setting of 1DCNN model, the WSO algorithm is introduced to optimize its key hyperparameters, which further enhances the identification accuracy of the model. The new method is applied to a data set specifically acquired with tests on a physical model of an earth-rock dam.

In order to enhance the accuracy of the prediction of the input variables and output response of the seat, a hybrid machine learning prediction model that combines the improved gray wolf optimizer (IGWO) and back propagation neural network (BPNN) has been proposed, and the prediction effect of the model was validated using the seat simulation data. Initially, based on the experimental data, finite element models were developed for eight typical working conditions of automobile seats and their accuracy was validated. Subsequently, the energy absorption to mass ratio method was employed to screen the design variables, resulting in the selection of 17 thickness variables and 15 material variables. Thereafter, the gray wolf optimizer (GWO) algorithm underwent enhancement through the incorporation of the dynamic leadership hierarchy (DLH) mechanism and the revision of the positional formula, yielding the IGWO algorithm. Following this, the IGWO algorithm was applied to optimize the hyperparameters of BPNN, culminating in the establishment of the IGWO-BPNN model. Ultimately, the seat multi-objective optimization design process was addressed using multi-objective gray wolf optimizer (MOGWO) to achieve the Pareto frontier, while the decision-making was conducted using the combined compromise solution (CoCoSo) method to determine the best trade-off solution. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the proposed optimal design method is evidenced by comparing the baseline design, simulation analysis, and optimal design methods. The results indicate that the optimized automotive seat frame achieves a reduction in cost by 20.7 % and mass by 22.9 %, simultaneously maintaining safety performance.

To this end, we integrated chaotic mapping, Cauchy mutation, Gaussian mutation, differential mutation, and parameter dynamic adjustment strategies into the original algorithm and developed an enhanced MGCHMO algorithm. Firstly, in the initialization phase of the MGCHMO, the Tent mapping chaotic mapping mechanism is introduced to enhance the diversity and search ability of the initial population through the traversal and randomness characteristics of chaos. Secondly, in the memory generation phase, we added the Cauchy mutation strategy, which effectively expanded the search range of the algorithm, helped the algorithm escape from local optima, and explored a broader solution space. Then, during the recall phase, Gaussian mutation and differential mutation are added. Among them, Gaussian mutation enables the algorithm to perform more refined searches within a local range. Differential mutation, on the other hand, guides the algorithm to explore towards a more optimal solution through the information of individual differences.

In the first step, the time-series data of the bridge is diversified and quantified by augmentation techniques to make the model more robust and increase its generalization capabilities. After that, SAX is implemented to reduce the volume and categorize time series data through the transformation of continuous time series into discrete symbols, thereby decreasing the size of the data for more efficient training performance. In the second step, an advanced DL model combining 1DCNN and LSTM is proposed to tackle the damage identification problems of the processed data. By leveraging the strengths of CNNs in feature extraction and LSTMs in sequence learning, combined with advanced techniques for data augmentation, our methodology offers a robust solution not only for improving the model's training process but also for enabling it to learn from a more diverse and comprehensive dataset that mimics different damage scenarios, allowing more accurate detection of damages within bridge structures.
