This article presents an efficient method for analyzing the dynamic reliability of maglev vehicle-bridge coupled systems by combining a theoretical model with an adaptive surrogate model and the probability density evolution method (PDEM). First, a refined theoretical model of a maglev vehicle-bridge coupling system is established. Next, an adaptive surrogate model of the equivalent extreme value of the system dynamic response is established by combining an adaptive sampling method with radial basis functions. Finally, the adaptive surrogate model and PDEM are combined to further improve the efficiency of the dynamic reliability analysis. In the numerical example, the theoretical model of the maglev vehicle-guideway system was first validated by comparing with the measured data from the Shanghai high-speed maglev line. Then, by treating the controller parameters as normally distributed random variables, the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed reliability method were verified through comparison with the Monte Carlo method and the one-stage sampling surrogate model. Additionally, the impact of the randomness of each controller parameter and the coefficient of variation of the controller parameters on the system’s dynamic reliability was discussed.

Then the future development direction of dynamic reliability analysis of complex structures is prospected.Originality/valueThe paper provides a useful reference for further theoretical research and engineering application.

Dynamic reliability analysis using the extended support vector regression (X-SVR)

This paper proposes the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), specifically Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), for dynamic surrogate modelling of wind turbines. PINNs offer the flexibility to model complex relationships while incorporating physics-based constraints, enabling accurate representation of wind turbine dynamics. In this paper, a PINN-based surrogate model is developed for the Blade Element Momentum (BEM) aerodynamic model used in state-of-the-art numerical wind turbine simulations. The PINN model replaces the time-consuming root-finding process in BEM with high-dimensional regression, significantly improving computational efficiency. The PINN model is trained using data generated from a numerical model of the IEA-15MW reference wind turbine, and its performance is compared against conventional data-driven Neural Network (DDNN) models. The proposed surrogate model provides more efficient and accurate evaluations of wind turbine responses compared with traditional surrogate modelling approaches. A significant computational advantage is obtained by using the developed surrogate models with a forty-fold speedup demonstrated compared to the BEM model. Replacing the BEM model with the PINN-based surrogate model for load computation in the numerical model used for dynamic analysis results in an overall reduction of 35% in computational time for a complete dynamic simulation. This is a substantial improvement in efficiency without sacrificing accuracy — the maximum Mean Absolute Error (MAE) values for the surrogate models are of the order of 10−2, which shows that the surrogate models can predict the angle of attack at any blade node with a discrepancy of less than 0.5°. The surrogate models significantly reduce computational time while maintaining high accuracy, making them a promising approach for simulating wind turbine dynamics, especially in fields such as reliability analysis or fatigue estimation where many simulations are necessary.

Dynamic Model-based Saddle-point Approximation for Reliability and Reliability-based Sensitivity Analysis

Automated image classification is an essential task of the computer vision field. The tagging of images into a set of predefined groups is referred to as image classification. The implementation of computer vision to automate image classification would be beneficial because manual image evaluation and identification can be time-consuming, particularly when there are many images of different classes. Deep learning approaches are proven to overperform existing machine learning techniques in many fields in recent years, and computer vision is one of the most notable examples. The very deep neural network (VDCNN) is a powerful deep learning model for image classification, and this paper examines it briefly using MNIST handwritten digit dataset. This dataset is used to prove the efficacy of very deep neural networks over other deep learning models. The proposed study aims to comprehend the very deep neural network architecture used to accomplish a handwritten digit recognition task. The feasibility of the proposed model is evaluated using mean accuracy, validation accuracy, and standard deviation. The study results of the very deep neural network model are compared to a convolutional neural network and convolutional neural network with batch normalization. According to the results of the comparison study, very deep neural networks achieve high accuracy of 99.1% for a handwritten dataset. The outcome of the proposed work is used to interpret how well a very deep neural network performs when compared to the other two models of deep neural networks. This proposed architecture may be used to automate the classification of handwritten digits dataset.

Multi-objective parameter optimization of large-scale offshore wind Turbine's tower based on data-driven model with deep learning and machine learning methods

Video hyperlinking represents a classical example of multimodal problems. Common approaches to such problems are early fusion of the initial modalities and crossmodal translation from one modality to the other. Recently, deep neural networks, especially deep autoencoders, have proven promising both for crossmodal translation and for early fusion via multimodal embedding. A particular architecture, bidirectional symmetrical deep neural networks, have been proven to yield improved multimodal embeddings over classical autoencoders, while also being able to perform crossmodal translation. In this work, we focus firstly at evaluating good single-modal continuous representations both for textual and for visual information. Word2Vec and paragraph vectors are evaluated for representing collections of words, such as parts of automatic transcripts and multiple visual concepts, while different deep convolutional neural networks are evaluated for directly embedding visual information, avoiding the creation of visual concepts. Secondly, we evaluate methods for multimodal fusion and crossmodal translation, with different single-modal pairs, in the task of video hyperlinking. Bidirectional (symmetrical) deep neural networks were shown to successfully tackle downsides of multimodal autoencoders and yield a superior multimodal representation. In this work, we extensively tests them in different settings, with different single-modal representations, within the context of video-hyperlinking. Our novel bidirectional symmetrical deep neural networks are compared to classical autoencoders and are shown to yield significantly improved multimodal embeddings that significantly (alpha=0.0001) outperform multimodal embeddings obtained by deep autoencoders with an absolute improvement in precision at 10 of 14.1% when embedding visual concepts and automatic transcripts and an absolute improvement of 4.3% when embedding automatic transcripts with features obtained with very deep convolutional neural networks, yielding 80% of precision at 10.

In this study, the deep multi-layered group method of data handling (GMDH)-type neural network algorithm using revised heuristic self-organization method is proposed and applied to medical image diagnosis of liver cancer. The deep GMDH-type neural network can automatically organize the deep neural network architecture which has many hidden layers. The structural parameters such as the number of hidden layers, the number of neurons in hidden layers and useful input variables are automatically selected to minimize prediction error criterion defined as Akaike’s information criterion (AIC) or prediction sum of squares (PSS). The architecture of the deep neural network is automatically organized using the revised heuristic self-organization method which is a type of the evolutionary computation. This new neural network algorithm is applied to the medical image diagnosis of the liver cancer and the recognition results are compared with the conventional 3-layered sigmoid function neural network.
