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

This paper researched on the static and fatigue strength of a 220-ton mining dump truck steering knuckle by the method of reliability analysis, Monte Carlo and response surface. The geometrical model of the steering knuckle was established in CATIA and this model was imported into HyperMesh to obtain the finite element model of steering knuckle. With this finite element model the static strength of the knuckle was checked in the case of uneven road condition in ANSYS in order to acquire the stress nephogram and deformation map. Taking the random influential factors of the reliability into account, the reliability analysis file was compiled by the language of APDL. Then the static and fatigue strength analysis was executed by the method of Monte Carlo and response surface in the PDS module to obtain the statistical results of residual strength and fatigue life, the failure probability and reliability. Finally the quantitative calculation of the failure probability was achieved. In order to realize lightweight design and improve the economy, the knuckle was optimized in ensuring the premise of safety and reliability.
