Moreover, when considering non-linear behaviors in terms of both material properties and geometry, developing such an algorithm is challenging. For this purpose, this study proposes a novel method, named t-LQR that combines the advancements from three domains: i) a high-performance gradient boosting model from machine learning for a highly accurate prediction model, ii) an active learning process from reliability analysis for adaptively improving the prediction model, and iii) quantile regression for uncertainty quantification from probabilistic information to identify the relevant candidates used to refine the prediction model. The validity and robustness of the proposed method are verified through planar and spatial truss structures, showing that t-LQR significantly reduces the computational time of structural analysis-up to 25 times-compared to the conventional Monte Carlo methods. Furthermore, t-LQR outperforms competing Kirging-based models in terms of accuracy for non-linear problems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55218,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Mathematics with Applications","volume":"182 ","pages":"Pages 66-83"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143020190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The weak form of the governing equations is derived by integrating two-dimensional elasticity theory with Hamilton's principle. The differential and integral operators are directly converted into matrix forms, thereby removing the necessity for higher-order derivative approximations in the displacement field. Transformation matrices are then developed for both interior and boundary nodes to link the governing equations with the boundary conditions, leading to the formulation of the vibration eigenvalue equations for FGM skew plates. Various factors, including aspect ratios, skew angles, boundary restraints, and gradient indices, are considered to investigate the in-plane vibration mode characteristics of FGM skew plates. Detailed solution procedures are provided, and numerical examples using the proposed solutions indicate that the VDQM exhibits superior numerical convergence and stability compared to other existing methods. The study also investigates the influence of highly skewed plates (75°), where stress singularities arise at the corners. This aspect is crucial for in-plane vibration analysis and has garnered limited attention in the existing literature.
