AbstractThe uncertainty and fluctuations in graphene characteristic parameters are inevitable issues in both of experimental measurements and numerical investigations. In this paper, the correlations between characteristic parameters (Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio and thickness of graphene) and resonant frequencies are analyzed by the Monte Carlo based stochastic finite element model. Based on the Monte Carlo stochastic sampling procedure, the uncertainty in the characteristic parameters are properly propagated and quantified. The displacements and rotation modes of graphene under the resonant vibration computed by the finite element method are verified. Furthermore, the result robustness of stochastic samples is discussed based on the statistic records and probability density distributions. In addition, both the Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients of the corresponding characteristic parameters are calculated and compared. The work in this paper provides a feasible and highly efficient method for the characteristic parameter correlation discussion by taking uncertainty into consideration.

With the distinguished properties in electronics, thermal conductivity, optical transparence and mechanics, graphene has a powerful potential in nanosensors, nano-resonators, supercapacitors, batteries, etc. The resonant frequency of graphene is an important factor in its application and working environment. However, the random dispersed porosities in graphene evidently change the lattice structure and destroy the integrity and geometrical periodicity. This paper focuses on the effects of random porosities in resonant frequencies of graphene. Monte Carlo simulation is applied to propagate the porosities in the finite element model of pristine graphene. The statistical results and probability density distribution of porous graphene with atomic vacancy defects are computed based on the Monte Carlo finite element model. The results of porous graphene with atomic vacancy defects are compared and discussed with the results of graphene with bond vacancy defects. The enhancement effects of atomic vacancy defects are confirmed in porous graphene. The influences of atomic vacancy defects on displacement and rotation vector sums of porous graphene are more concentrated in local places.

Artificial Neural Network (ANN) telah digunakan dengan meluas bagi tujuan mengesan kerosakan dalam struktur menggunakan data–data mod dari gegaran. Walau bagaimanapun, ketidakpastian yang wujud dalam model unsur terhingga dan data dari lapangan yang tidak dapat dielakkan boleh menyebabkan kesilapan dalam meramalkan magnitud dan lokasi kerosakan. Dalam kajian ini kaedah statistik digunakan untuk mengambil kira ketidakpastian ini. ANN digunakan untuk meramalkan parameter–parameter kekukuhan dari frekuensi dan mod bentuk bagi sesebuah struktur. Untuk mengambil kira ketidakpastian dalam ramalan, kaedah statistik digunakan di mana kaedah Rossenblueth point estimation diperbandingkan dengan kaedah Monte Carlo diaplikasikan bagi mengambil kira ketidakpastian ini. Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa dengan mengambil kira ketidakpastian dalam membuat ramalan menggunakan ANN, kerosakan boleh diramalkan pada tahap keyakinan yang tinggi. Kata kunci: Artificial neural network; ketidakpastian; kesilapan rawak Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been widely applied to detect damages in structures based on structural vibration modal parameters. However, uncertainties that inevitably exist in finite element model and measured vibration data might lead to false or unreliable prediction of structural damage. In this study, a statistical approach is proposed to include the effect of uncertainties in the ANN algorithm for damage prediction. ANN is used to predict the stiffness parameters of structures from measured structural vibration frequencies and mode shapes. Uncertainties in the measured data and finite element model of the structure are considered in the prediction. The statistics of the identified parameters are determined using Rossenblueth’s point estimation method and verified by Monte Carlo simulation. The results show that by considering these uncertainties in the ANN model, the damages can be detected with a higher confidence level. Key words: Artificial neural network; uncertainties; random error
