For engineering applications, the dynamic system responses can be significantly affected by uncertainties in the system parameters including material and geometric properties as well as by uncertainties in the excitations. The reliability of dynamic systems is widely evaluated based on the first-passage theory. To improve the computational efficiency, surrogate models are widely used to approximate the relationship between the system inputs and outputs. In this paper, a new machine learning based metamodel, namely the extended support vector regression (X-SVR), is proposed for the reliability analysis of dynamic systems via utilizing the first-passage theory. Furthermore, the capability of X-SVR is enhanced by a new kernel function developed from the vectorized Gegenbauer polynomial, especially for solving complex engineering problems. Through the proposed approach, the relationship between the extremum of the dynamic responses and the input uncertain parameters is approximated by training the X-SVR model such that the probability of failure can be efficiently predicted without using other computational tools for numerical analysis, such as the finite element analysis (FEM). The feasibility and performance of the proposed surrogate model in dynamic reliability analysis is investigated by comparing it with the conventional c-insensitive support vector regression (epsilon-SVR) with Gaussian kernel and Monte Carlo simulation (MSC). Four numerical examples are adopted to evidently demonstrate the practicability and efficiency of the proposed X-SVR method. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Application of interval field method to the stability analysis of slopes in presence of uncertainties

Chengxin Feng, Matthias Faes, Matteo Broggi, Chao Dang, Jiashu Yang, Zhibao Zheng, Michael Beer

Summary: This paper proposes a new method, named the interval field limit equilibrium method (IFLEM), for assessing the stability of slope in the presence of the interval field. The method involves using a modified exponential function to characterize the spatial uncertainty of the interval field and employing Karhunen-Loeve-like decomposition to generate the interval field. The proposed method is verified using three numerical examples and demonstrates reasonable accuracy and efficiency, making it potentially applicable to a number of geotechnical systems.

First-passage probability estimation of high-dimensional nonlinear stochastic dynamic systems by a fractional moments-based mixture distribution approach

Chen Ding, Chao Dang, Marcos A. Valdebenito, Matthias G. R. Faes, Matteo Broggi, Michael Beer

Summary: This paper proposes a novel approach to estimate the first-passage probability of high-dimensional nonlinear stochastic dynamic systems. The approach captures the extreme value distribution of the system response using the concepts of fractional moment and mixture distribution, and efficiently computes the fractional moments using a parallel adaptive sampling scheme. By fitting a set of fractional moments, the desired extreme value distribution can be recovered, and the first-passage probabilities under different thresholds can be obtained directly.

Non-stationary response of nonlinear systems with singular parameter matrices subject to combined deterministic and stochastic excitation

P. Ni, V. C. Fragkoulis, F. Kong, I. P. Mitseas, M. Beer

Summary: This paper proposes a new technique for determining the response of multi-degree-of-freedom nonlinear systems with singular parameter matrices subject to combined deterministic and non-stationary stochastic excitation. The system response is decomposed into deterministic and stochastic components, corresponding to the two components of the excitation. Two sets of differential equations are formulated and solved simultaneously to compute the system response. The efficiency of the proposed technique is demonstrated by numerical examples involving a vibration energy harvesting device and a structural nonlinear system.

Yongchao Zhang, Zhaohui Ren, Ke Feng, Kun Yu, Michael Beer, Zheng Liu

Summary: Cross-domain machinery fault diagnosis aims to transfer enriched diagnosis knowledge from a labeled source domain to a new unlabeled target domain. Existing methods often assume prior knowledge of fault modes in the target domain, which is rare in engineering practice. This study proposes a source-free domain adaptation method that can handle cross-domain fault diagnosis scenarios without source data and explicit assumptions about target fault modes.

Estimation of an imprecise power spectral density function with optimised bounds from scarce data for epistemic uncertainty quantification

Marco Behrendt, Matthias G. R. Faes, Marcos A. Valdebenito, Michael Beer

Summary: In engineering, the modelling of environmental processes is essential for designing structures safely and determining the reliability of existing structures. This work focuses on situations where data is limited and it is not feasible to derive reliable statistics. The proposed approach uses a radial basis function network to generate basis functions that enclose the data, resulting in an interval-based power spectral density (PSD) function. The applicability of this imprecise PSD model is demonstrated with recorded earthquake ground motions.

Diqi Zeng, Hao Zhang, Hongzhe Dai, Michael Beer

Summary: Risk assessment of spatially distributed infrastructure systems under natural hazards should consider the performance of individual components as stochastically correlated due to similarities in engineering practices. This study addresses the scalability issue of risk analysis by developing an interpolation technique that accurately evaluates damages of sampled components and interpolates damages of remaining components. The method is applicable to both linear systems and systems with complex connectivity. Two examples demonstrate its effectiveness in cyclone loss assessment and connectivity analysis of infrastructure systems.

A failure probability assessment method for train derailments in railway yards based on IFFTA and NGBN

Jun Lai, Kai Wang, Jingmang Xu, Ping Wang, Rong Chen, Shuguo Wang, Michael Beer

Summary: This paper addresses the issue of derailment risk in classification yards when trains pass through railway turnouts. It proposes a failure probability assessment approach that integrates intuitionistic fuzzy fault tree analysis and Noisy or gate Bayesian network to quantify the derailment risk. The method can handle imprecise, incomplete, and vague information on the train-turnout system components. Testing at a classification yard in China demonstrates that the method can efficiently evaluate the risk and identify key factors. Measures such as optimizing turnout alignment, controlling impact between wagons, lubricating the rails, and regularly inspecting the turnout geometries can be implemented to reduce the risk and prevent secondary damage and injuries.

Collaborative and Adaptive Bayesian Optimization for bounding variances and probabilities under hybrid uncertainties

Fangqi Hong, Pengfei Wei, Jingwen Song, Marcos A. Valdebenito, Matthias G. R. Faes, Michael Beer

Summary: Uncertainty quantification is crucial for reliability-oriented analysis and design of engineering structures. Three groups of mathematical models have been developed for different forms of uncertainties: probability models, imprecise probability models, and non-probabilistic models. Propagating these models through expensive simulators to quantify output uncertainties is a challenging task. Collaborative and Adaptive Bayesian Optimization (CABO) has been improved to handle all three categories of uncertainty models and to bound various probabilistic measures of the output.

Experimental and theoretical investigations confirm the occurrence of first frequency locking and the subsequent switching to second frequency locking with the increase of driving force. Furthermore, a mass sensing scheme for double analytes is proposed based on the double frequencies locking phenomenon.
