Abstract The creep parameters of rockfill materials obtained from engineering analogy method or indoor tests often cannot accurately reflect the long-term deformation of high Concrete Faced Rockfill Dams (CFRDs). This paper introduces an optimized inversion method based on Multi-population Genetic Algorithm improved BP Neural Network and Response Surface Method (MPGA-BPNN RSM). The parameters used for inversion are determined by parameter sensitivity analysis based on the statistical orthogonal test method. MPGA-BPNN RSM, validated by Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) and squared correlation coefficient (R2), etc., completely reflects the response between the creep parameters and the settlement calculation values obtained by Finite Element Method (FEM). MPGA optimized the objective function to obtain the optimal creep parameters. The results show that the settlement values of Xujixia CFRD calculated by FEM using the inversion parameters has great consistency with the monitored values both in size and in distribution, suggesting that the model parameters obtained by the introduced creep parameter inversion method are feasible and effective. The introduced method can improve the inversion efficiency and the prediction accuracy in FEM applications.

Abstract To explore creep parameters and creep characteristics of salt rock, an Ansys numerical model of salt rock sample was established by using fractional creep constitutive model of salt rock, and an orthogonal test scheme was designed based on uniaxial compression test of salt rock samples. A large number of training data were obtained by combining the numerical model with the experimental scheme, and the model parameters were inverted by using the BP neural network. The model parameters are used for forwarding calculation, and the results are in good agreement with the measured strain data. This shows that the model parameter inversion method proposed in this paper can obtain reasonable parameter values and then accurately predict the creep behaviour of salt rock, which provides a good technical basis for related engineering practice and scientific research in the future.

To reveal the effect of high-temperature creep on the blade-tip radial running clearance of aeroengine high-pressure turbines, a distributed collaborative generalized regression extremum neural network is proposed by absorbing the heuristic thoughts of distributed collaborative response surface method and the generalized extremum neural network, in order to improve the reliability analysis of blade-tip clearance with creep behavior in terms of modeling precision and simulation efficiency. In this method, the generalized extremum neural network was used to handle the transients by simplifying the response process as one extremum and to address the strong nonlinearity by means of its nonlinear mapping ability. The distributed collaborative response surface method was applied to handle multi-object multi-discipline analysis, by decomposing one “big” model with hyperparameters and high nonlinearity into a series of “small” sub-models with few parameters and low nonlinearity. Based on the developed method, the blade-tip clearance reliability analysis of an aeroengine high-pressure turbine was performed subject to the creep behaviors of structural materials, by considering the randomness of influencing parameters such as gas temperature, rotational speed, material parameters, convective heat transfer coefficient, and so forth. It was found that the reliability degree of the clearance is 0.9909 when the allowable value is 2.2 mm, and the creep deformation of the clearance presents a normal distribution with a mean of 1.9829 mm and a standard deviation of 0.07539 mm. Based on a comparison of the methods, it is demonstrated that the proposed method requires a computing time of 1.201 s and has a computational accuracy of 99.929% over 104 simulations, which are improvements of 70.5% and 1.23%, respectively, relative to the distributed collaborative response surface method. Meanwhile, the high efficiency and high precision of the presented approach become more obvious with the increasing simulations. The efforts of this study provide a promising approach to improve the dynamic reliability analysis of complex structures.

A stencil printing process (SPP) optimization problem is studied in this paper. Due to the limitation that neural network requires a large number of samples for the accurate model fitting, a two-stage SPP optimization method is proposed. The design interval can be reduced with small sample by using neural network. In this reduced design interval , response surface method is adopted to obtain the accurate mathematical SPP model. The concept of confidence level is introduced to make the proposed model robust. An interactive method is used to solve the model. The proposed method is compared with the one-stage optimization method and the results show that the proposed method achieves a better performance on each objective.

In order to predict the failure probability of a complicated structure, the structural responses usually need to be predicted by a numerical procedure, such as FEM method. The response surface method could be used to reduce the computational effort required for reliability analysis. However the conventional response surface method is still time consuming when the number of random variables is large. In this paper, a Fourier orthogonal neural network (FONN)-based response surface method is proposed. In this method, the relationship between the random variables and structural responses is established using FONN models. Then the FONN model is connected to the first order and second moment method (FORM) to predict the failure probability. Numerical example result shows that the proposed approach is efficient and accurate, and is applicable to structural reliability analysis.
