Design sensitivity and reliability-based structural optimization by univariate decomposition
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new univariate decomposition method for design sensitivity analysis and reliabilitybased design optimization of mechanical systems subject to uncertain performance functions in constraints. The method involves a novel univariate approximation of a general multivariate function in the rotated Gaussian space for reliability analysis, analytical sensitivity of failure probability with respect to design variables, and standard gradient-based optimization algorithms. In both reliability and sensitivity analyses, the proposed effort has been reduced to performing multiple one-dimensional integrations. The evaluation of these one-dimensional integrations requires calculating only conditional responses at selected deterministic input determined by sample points and Gauss–Hermite integration points. Numerical results indicate that the proposed method provides accurate and computationally efficient estimates of the sensitivity of failure probability, which leads to accurate design optimization of uncertain mechanical systems.

This paper focuses on the processing of structural health monitoring (SHM) big data. Extracted features of a structure are reduced using an optimization algorithm to find a minimal subset of salient features by removing noisy, irrelevant and redundant data. The PSO-Harmony algorithm is introduced for feature selection to enhance the capability of the proposed method for processing the measure...
