摘要

In recent years, artificial neural networks were included in the prediction of deformations of structural elements, such as pipes or tensile specimens. Following this method, classical mechanical calculations were replaced by a set of matrix multiplications by means of artificial intelligence. This was also continued in finite element approaches, wherein constitutive equations were substituted by an artificial neural network (ANN). However, little is known about predicting complex non-linear structural deformations with artificial intelligence. The aim of the present study is to make ANN accessible to complicated structural deformations. Here, shock-wave loaded plates are chosen, which lead to a boundary value problem taking geometrical and physical non-linearities into account. A wide range of strain-rates and highly dynamic deformations are covered in this type of deformation. One ANN is proposed for the entire structural model and another ANN is developed for replacing viscoplastic constitutive equations, integrated into a finite element code, leading to an intelligent finite element. All calculated results are verified by experiments with a shock tube and short-time measurement techniques.

A finite-element-informed neural network for parametric simulation in structural mechanics

Thang Le-Duc, H. Nguyen-Xuan, Jaehong Lee

Summary: In this study, a novel deep learning model called Finite-element-informed neural network (FEI-NN) is proposed for parametric simulation of static problems in structural mechanics. The approach uses supervised training to consider the parametric variables of structures as input features and implicitly embeds the spatial variables into the loss function through a soft constraint called finite element analysis (FEA) loss. The training process minimizes the empirical risk function while partially respecting the mechanical behaviors through the FEA loss, which is defined as a residual calculated from the weak form of the surrogate system scaled from the actual structure. Additionally, a technique based on batch matrix multiplication is introduced to reduce the time complexity for estimating the FEA loss. The method is demonstrated to outperform traditional data-driven approaches in terms of faster convergence and better DNN models for both generalization and extrapolation performance through several experiments.

Intelligent stiffness computation for plate and beam structures by neural network enhanced finite element analysis

Saurabh Balkrishna Tandale, Bernd Markert, Marcus Stoffel

Summary: In this study, new methods using artificial neural networks (ANNs) are proposed to replace the constitutive law and the entire tangent stiffness matrix in finite element analysis. The combination of FEM with ANN leads to the development of intelligent elements. Sobolev training is introduced to ensure that the ANN learns the stress behavior function and its first derivative (material stiffness). Three methods are introduced to approximate the generalized force-displacement relations and replace the local stiffness matrix of an element. Neural networks are used to extract stiffness information for elements undergoing plastic deformation. The focus of this research is to establish a neural network-based FEM framework to introduce an enhanced-material law and approximate stiffness information of different elements.

Kiana Peiro Ahmady Langeroudy, Parsa Kharazi Esfahani, Mohammad Reza Khorsand Movaghar

Summary: Oil viscosity is crucial in petroleum engineering, and experimental methods and compositional methods can accurately estimate it. However, experimental data is difficult to obtain, so there is a need for convenient and fast methods to predict viscosity. This study uses machine learning methods (XGBoost, CatBoost, and GradientBoosting) based on gradient boosting decision tree to reduce the prediction error of viscosity by considering dissolved gas content, temperature, pressure, and API gravity. XGBoost outperforms other methods with higher precision and lower error, showing the effectiveness of the approach.

A hybrid first/third-order plate theory for finite element analysis of sandwich plates with a transversely compressible core

Y. S. Gao, S. Q. Zhang, Y. F. Zhao, S. Y. Ma, W. G. He, G. Z. Zhao, B. Markert

Summary: Sandwich structures with thick soft cores often deform in various modes, including bending, twisting, and compressing, when subjected to transverse loads. The compression of the core significantly affects the structural response. Classic plate theories are insufficient in predicting the behavior of such sandwich structures due to the assumption of no thickness change during deformation. In this study, a hybrid first/third-order shear deformation hypothesis is proposed, considering the compressive effect, to accurately analyze the mechanical response of sandwich structures with thick soft cores.

Study on structural response of water-back plate under the combined action of shock wave and bubble loads generated by cylindrical charge in deep-water environment

Teng Ma, Jinxiang Wang, Liangtao Liu, Heng Li, Kui Tang, Yangchen Gu, Yifan Zhang

Summary: The structural response of water-back plate under the combined action of shock wave and bubble loads at water depths of 1-300 m was numerically investigated using an arbitrary Lagrange-Euler method. The accuracy of the numerical model was validated by comparing with experimental and theoretical results. The influences of water depth and length-to-diameter ratio of the charge on the combined damage effect were analyzed. The results show that as water depth increases, the plastic deformation energy of the water-back plate decreases, and the permanent deformation mode changes from convex to concave. When the charge has a large length-to-diameter ratio, the plastic deformation energy of the radial plate is higher than that of the axial plate, and the difference decreases with increasing water depth. Increasing the length-to-diameter ratio enhances the combined damage effect in the radial direction in deep-water environments.

Experimental and numerical investigation on cold-formed steel zed section beams with complex edge stiffeners

Qiu-Yun Li, Ben Young

Summary: This paper investigates the flexural performance of CFS zed section members bent about the neutral axis parallel to the flanges through experimental and numerical analysis. The results show that the current direct strength method generally provides conservative predictions for the flexural strength of unstiffened zed section members, but slightly unconservative design for edge-stiffened zed section beams. The nominal flexural strengths of zed section members with edge stiffeners were found to be underestimated by 17% to 21% on average. Modified DSM formulae are recommended for the design of CFS zed section beams.

Experimental study on Q355 steel T-stubs connected through high-strength ring groove rivets

Fei Gao, Zongyi Wang, Rui Zhu, Zhenming Chen, Quanxi Ye, Yaqi Duan, Yunlong Jia, Qin Zhang

Summary: This research investigates the mechanical properties of high-strength ring groove rivet assemblies and the load resistances of riveted T-stubs. Experimental tests reveal that Grade 10.9 rivets have higher yield strength and strain, and lower ultimate strain, making them suitable for high-strength ring groove rivet connections. Increasing the rivet diameter benefits the T-stubs, while increasing the flange thickness is not always advantageous. The Eurocode 3 method is not suitable for T-stubs connected through ring groove rivets, while the Demonceau method is conservative.
