Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of uncertain parameter identification and uncertain model correction technology, and particularly relates to an improved method for identifying uncertain parameters of stochastic response surfaces. Background Technology

[0002] An accurate numerical or finite element model is a prerequisite for reliability analysis and uncertainty optimization design of engineering structures. A common practice in engineering structural analysis is to correct the structural finite element model through parameter identification. This is a comprehensive technique involving initial finite element modeling, dynamic testing, and numerical methods. Currently, most model correction and parameter identification methods are deterministic, which significantly limits the effective application of model correction techniques in actual structures. However, real-world engineering structures often contain a certain degree of uncertainty. Therefore, considering structural parameters as uncertain parameters helps improve the reliability of analysis results and provides a scientific basis for decision-making.

[0003] Methods for model modification and parameter identification considering uncertainty are a deepening and extension of the theory of deterministic model modification and parameter identification in a statistical sense. They involve theoretical methods such as probability statistics and fuzzy sets, which greatly increases the complexity of the problem and the difficulty of model modification.
