Many engineering applications are characterized by implicit response functions that expensive to evaluate and sometimes nonlinear in their behavior, making reliability analysis difficult. This paper develops an efficient method accurately characterizes the limit state throughout random variable space. The begins with a Gaussian process model built from very small number of samples, then adaptively chooses where generate subsequent samples ensure is accurate vicinity state. resulting sampled...
Current airframe health monitoring generally relies on deterministic physics models and ground inspections. This paper uses the concept of a dynamic Bayesian network to build versatile probabilistic model for diagnosis prognosis in order realize digital twin vision, it illustrates proposed method by an aircraft wing fatigue crack growth example. The integrates various aleatory (random) epistemic (lack knowledge) uncertainty sources prediction. In diagnosis, is used track evolution...
Current surrogate modeling methods for time-dependent reliability analysis implement a double-loop procedure, with the computation of extreme value response in outer loop and optimization inner loop. The computational effort procedure is quite high even though improvements have been made to improve efficiency This paper proposes single-loop Kriging (SILK) method analysis. used current completely removed proposed method. A single model built purpose assessment. Training points random...
Non-parametric system identification has been widely applied in structural health monitoring and damage detection based on measured response data. However, the presence of noise data significantly affects accuracy identification. A dilemma is that it not possible to know with any measure certainty whether how much are corrupted by noise. This paper develops a Bayesian discrete wavelet packet transform denoising approach investigates effects The integration hypothesis testing analysis. It...
