Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of complex equipment reliability optimization design, and in particular relates to a complex equipment reliability optimization design method based on a random agent model. Background Art

[0002] In the field of engineering, especially in the optimization design process of complex equipment, surrogate models are widely used as an important tool to improve design efficiency and reduce computational costs. The main function of the surrogate model is to reduce the amount of calculation required when directly calling the high computational cost simulation model by approximating the complex simulation model. However, the surrogate models currently used in most complex equipment optimization design methods are deterministic models, that is, under the same input conditions, repeated calls to the model can always get a consistent response. Such models usually assume that all input variables are deterministic and the output response of the system is a unique value.

[0003] However, in actual engineering applications, especially in the design process of complex equipment, system responses often show great uncertainty. When optimizing the design of complex equipment through professional simulation software, even if the input conditions remain consistent, the output response (such as certain key performance indicators, load response, etc.) is not unique. This is because there are not only explicit input random variables (such as design size, pressure, load, etc.) in the system, but also many implicit random factors (such as material properties, environmental fluctuations, etc.), which jointly affect the randomness of the system output. Therefore, relying solely on deterministic proxy models cannot fully capture and describe the true behavior of complex equipment under actual working conditions.

[0004] At present, although the impact of explicit input random variables has been widely studied, in complex systems, many implicit random factors also have a significant impact on system response. These implicit factors are usually difficult to quantify directly, but their contribution to performance uncertainty cannot be ignored. Existing uncertainty quantification methods usually require a lot of computing resources and multiple complex simulations to evaluate the uncertainty of the output response, which is not only computationally expensive but also difficult to implement in actual engineering applications. Therefore, how to more efficiently and accurately quantify the uncertainty of complex equipment responses and optimize the design has become a major challenge in current reliability optimization design. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the shortcomings of the prior art and effectively consider the impact of the uncertainty of the service environment of complex equipment on the uncertainty of component performance response, so as to avoid design deficiencies or redundancies, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0119] Embodiment 1:

[0120] In order to verify the effectiveness of the method of the present invention, this implementation case adopts the model and data given by Wu (Wu Z, Chen Z, Chen G, et al. A probability feasible region enhanced important boundary sampling method for reliability-based design optimization [J]. Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization, 2021, 63: 341-355.) and substitutes them into the method of the present invention. In order to simulate the potential randomness in actual engineering in a computer, the present invention gives randomness to some parameters of the model. This embodiment consists of two independent normally distributed random design variables and three constraint functions. The design variable is the mean of the random variable. , where the implicit parameter It is set as unknown to simulate random factors that are not or cannot be considered in actual engineering. The random response caused by implicit parameters cannot be eliminated artificially in the process of reliability analysis and optimization design. The optimization problem is defined as:

[0121]

[0122] In the formula, represents the failure probability operator, represents the standard normal cumulative distribution function operator, Represents the target reliability corresponding to the target failure probability.

[0123] In this example, the PCE model was constructed using the open source code UQ lab, the PCE coefficients were calculated using LARS, and the PCE was adaptively truncated using the q-norm method. First, a 2D Sobol sequence sample was generated based on the 2D input variable, and the Sobol samples were added sequentially to train the PCE model under a response surface. The training samples were determined based on the convergence criterion. Then, in the training sample The PCE model under different response surfaces is constructed, and the random proxy model with corresponding constraints is constructed. Since the random response of the random proxy model causes slight fluctuations in the convergence index, in order to ensure the continuity of the convergence of the random proxy model, the batch training method is used to check the convergence of the random proxy model, that is, 50 PCE models are used as a batch to train the random proxy model, and the random proxy model is trained in batches until convergence. Finally, the converged random proxy model is used to perform reliability optimization design. Each reliability analysis is performed using MCS was performed on each sample.

[0124] The random proxy model trained by the method of the present invention can better reproduce the randomness of the constraint response under implicit random parameters, such as Figures 2 to 4 The results obtained by the method of the present invention are compared with the results without considering the implicit random parameters and the results with considering the implicit random parameters using the explicit function, as shown in Table 1. The reliability optimization design results without considering the implicit random parameters seriously fail to meet the target reliability. The reliability optimization design results using explicit functions to consider implicit random parameters meet the target reliability. However, it is difficult to meet the requirements of actual engineering optimization by obtaining tens of thousands of performance responses. In contrast, the method of using a random proxy model to consider implicit random parameters (this method) only requires a relatively small number of performance responses to meet the target reliability through optimization. The optimal solution of reliability optimization design is required. This is mainly because the method of the present invention uses the PCE model and kernel density estimation (or copula function) based on the Karhunen–Loève expansion and some training samples to perform global statistical inference on the randomness of the random field, and performs MCS based on the statistical characteristics of the inference, rather than blindly performing MCS directly, which results in a large amount of performance response consumption.

[0127] Embodiment 2:

[0128] The NREL 5MW wind turbine tower optimization case under the 1.3 working condition (turbulent wind working condition) specified in the IEC 61400-9 standard is used to test the effectiveness of the proposed method for engineering application problems. The wind turbine tower optimization model uses the tower volume (steel quantity) as the objective function, and the constraint function is composed of the ultimate stress and the tower top torsion angle. The tower model parameters and stress conditions are as follows: Figure 5 and as shown in Table 2. The optimization problem is defined as:

[0129]

[0130] Table 2 5MW tower model parameters

[0131]

[0132] The tower model is simplified to a cone segment model formed by linear interpolation of tower bottom size parameters and tower top size parameters. and are the diameters of the tower base and top, respectively, which follow a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 0.06, 004; is the ultimate stress constraint of the tower; is the allowable ultimate stress value, is the gravity load at the bottom of the tower, is the cross-sectional area of ​​the tower bottom, is the bending moment at the tower base, is the bending moment at the top of the tower, is the section bending modulus, is the torsion angle constraint of the tower top. Here, the allowable value of the ultimate torsion angle of the tower top is set to 5°. The failure probabilities of the ultimate stress constraint and the torsion angle constraint of the tower top must both meet the target reliability. The load response in the tower constraint is generated by TurbSim to generate a turbulent wind file, which is then simulated by Openfast.

[0133] As an ultimate constraint, the IEC 61400 standard stipulates that the load extreme value of the 10-minute simulation is used as the ultimate load response. Under turbulent wind conditions, even with the same simulation input settings, the existence of the random wind seed will cause the simulation extreme load result to be a random number. Because the random seed is not a valid parameter for measuring the random load distribution, the extreme load in Implementation Case 2 The randomness of is difficult to quantify accurately and is an implicit random parameter in the optimization model.

[0134] In the process of training the random proxy model, the statistical distribution of the 10-minute average wind speed and the statistical distribution of the tower load response are unknown. Openfast simulation can obtain both The random proxy model trained by the method of the present invention using 1200 sets of simulation data is compared with 5440 sets of openfast simulation samples. The random proxy model can better reproduce the randomness of extreme value loads, as shown in the following figure. Figures 6 to 8 shown.

[0135] The results obtained by the method of the present invention are compared with the initial design of the tower under the working condition 1.3, and the results are shown in Table 3. With only a small number of simulations, the method of the present invention obtains more accurate reliability optimization results, which shows that the method has made contributions to solving the reliability optimization design containing implicit random parameters (random factors that are not considered or cannot be accurately considered).
