Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of reliability assessment technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, equipment and medium for reliability assessment of multi-section beam structures. Background Technology
[0002] Beam structures play a vital role in modern industry, but in practical applications they are susceptible to various complex factors that can lead to malfunctions or failures. Therefore, before applying them, it is essential to conduct a reliability assessment, including the probability of failure (Failure Probability). Failure probability is a key performance indicator. It refers to the probability that a beam structure will lose its intended function under specified conditions and within a specified time, expressed as: (1) In the formula, These are the structural performance values for the beam. It is a structural influencing factor The joint probability density function (PDF) is used to estimate the failure probability. The region containing positive performance factors is the safe region, and the region containing non-positive factors is the failure region. The continuous surface where performance values approach 0 is called the limit state surface (LSS). The key to estimating the failure probability lies in the estimated performance function values near the limit state surface. With the development of modern science and technology, the number of components constituting structures is increasing, the scale of structures is becoming larger, and the costs of research and development and production are rising. This makes the failure problem of beam structures increasingly important. Accurate estimation of the failure probability of beam structures helps to understand the operating status of beam structures in a timely manner and make correct decisions.
[0003] Since the integral solution of equation (1) is relatively complex, statistical methods are commonly used to conduct multiple reliability tests on the beam structure to solve for the failure probability, that is, to use Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) sampling values. To replace the true value of failure probability ,Right now (2) In the formula, The number of samples for the MCS. The coefficient of variation of the predicted index. It is often used as an evaluation metric for the size of the MCS sample: (3) The MCS approach primarily involves generating a large number of global test points that cover as many combinations of interfering factors as possible. The simulation program then obtains the miss distance values for each test point, replacing the actual values with these values to calculate the failure probability of the beam structure. This process is repeated until the termination condition for the beam structure failure probability evaluation index is met. The relative error of the failure probability... It is often used as an evaluation metric for solving failure probability models. (4) In practical engineering, as structural complexity increases, shortcomings such as increased training ensemble costs and limited solution efficiency arise. Correspondingly improved sampling strategies include subset simulation, importance sampling, and linear sampling, which are applicable to reliability assessment in various scenarios such as high dimensionality, nonlinearity, and low failure probabilities. These methods often introduce surrogate models, establishing a "black box" surrogate model of the "input-output" relationship between a known, finite set of training samples of performance influencing factors and the corresponding performance function values. This model can predict the performance value and estimate the failure probability at any sampling point, reducing the need to solve for the true performance value. Commonly used surrogate models include support vector machines, response surface methodology, artificial neural networks, and Kriging. Among these, the Kriging model directly provides unbiased interpolation estimates of structural performance values and reflects the variance of prediction uncertainty, making it the most widely used.
[0004] Meanwhile, modeling using only the existing initial training sample set cannot adequately account for the limiting state surface. Small differences in the training set can lead to errors in the sign of the predicted performance function, approaching zero, ultimately resulting in a significant deviation in the failure probability estimate. Active Learning (AL) methods, which interact with the external environment to improve understanding of beam structures and models, are often used to correct surrogate models. Within the active learning framework, learning points based on certain addition criteria—that is, combinations of performance influencing factors (new sample points) that significantly improve the failure probability estimate—are added to the training set and the Kriging model is updated. This iterative process is repeated until a certain termination criterion is met. This process is summarized as the Active Learning Kriging (AK) method. The addition criteria are often implemented by setting learning functions, such as the error probability learning function U based on the Kriging surrogate model, and the expected improvement learning functions EFF and information entropy H, with the following expressions: (5) (6) (7) In the formula, and For the Kriging model of sample points The predicted value and the prediction variance represent the performance values. The former characterizes the predictive ability of the Kriging model constructed from the current training set, while the latter characterizes the uncertainty of the prediction. and Let the coefficients represent the cumulative distribution function (CDF) and probability density function of the standard normal distribution, respectively. The regulating factor of the EFF function, and Proportional, usually taken It is evident that different learning functions characterize the addition of training points from their own perspectives, and often consider regions where the predicted value approaches 0 (near the limit state surface), or regions with large prediction variance (i.e., regions with large uncertainty). This can easily cause the range of points added to fall into local clustering regions and become difficult to converge, thus leading to the inadequacy of an excessively large training set.
[0005] In engineering, the requirements for estimating the failure probability of beam structures often include both the accuracy of the estimated failure probability and the efficiency of the solution. The termination criteria corresponding to the aforementioned classic learning functions are mostly based on a threshold value of the learning function itself; for example, the termination criterion for the U learning function is... Existing research has shown that such learning functions often introduce too many unnecessary training points, leading to excessively high training costs. Therefore, the construction of learning functions and more efficient termination criteria need to be improved.
[0006] Furthermore, existing studies have only focused on learning functions based on quantitative structural influence factor data; learning functions for qualitative structural influence factors are currently lacking. However, in practice, the reliability of beam structures often involves a mixture of qualitative and quantitative influence factors. The challenge in efficiently conducting reliability assessments within an active learning framework lies in constructing a Kriging model for mixed qualitative and quantitative factors and measuring the distance between them. Summary of the Invention
