Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If Bayesian model parameter updating algorithm is used, then model parameter inversion can be achieved, but calculation time is excessive
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the parameter updating process into multiple iterative stages, where each stage updates a subset of parameters rather than all parameters simultaneously. This segmentation reduces the computational burden of each iteration while maintaining convergence to accurate results, thereby resolving the contradiction between inversion accuracy and calculation time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-calculating the Hessian matrix and its inverse at the initial point, and using these pre-computed values to initialize the iterative process. This preliminary preparation reduces the computational work required during the actual parameter updating iterations, thus reducing overall calculation time while preserving accuracy.
2Measurement precision
If algorithm coefficients are adjusted for different models, then updating accuracy improves, but coefficient tuning time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service through adaptive coefficient adjustment mechanisms where the algorithm automatically determines optimal coefficient values based on the specific model characteristics and data available. The Hessian matrix-based update rules and adaptive learning rates enable the system to self-tune without manual intervention, eliminating coefficient tuning time while maintaining high updating accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent dynamically changes algorithm coefficients based on the iteration progress and model characteristics. The learning rate and other parameters are adjusted adaptively during the iterative process, allowing the algorithm to optimize its performance for different models automatically, thus achieving high accuracy without manual coefficient tuning.
3Measurement precision
If finite element method is used for complex structures, then model accuracy improves, but calculation time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by updating only the most critical parameters that have the greatest influence on model accuracy, rather than performing exhaustive updates of all parameters. The sensitivity analysis identifies and focuses computational resources on key parameters, achieving high model accuracy with reduced calculation time by avoiding unnecessary computations on less influential parameters.
4Adaptability or versatility
If multiple iterations are performed to find optimal coefficients, then algorithm adaptability improves, but productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where each iteration uses the results from previous iterations to inform subsequent updates. The Hessian matrix and gradient information are fed back into the parameter update process, enabling the algorithm to adapt to different models efficiently. This feedback-driven approach achieves high adaptability without requiring excessive iterations, thus maintaining productivity.
