Abstract With increasing design demands of turbomachinery, stochastic flutter behavior has become more prominent and even appears a hazard to reliability and safety. Stochastic flutter assessment is an effective measure to quantify the failure risk and improve aeroelastic stability. However, for complex turbomachinery with multiple dynamic influencing factors (i.e., aeroengine compressor with time-variant loads), the stochastic flutter assessment is hard to be achieved effectively, since large deviations and inefficient computing will be incurred no matter considering influencing factors at a certain instant or the whole time domain. To improve the assessing efficiency and accuracy of stochastic flutter behavior, a dynamic meta-modeling… More >

Abstract Lunar lander may experience various impact loadings when it makes a landing on the lunar surface. Due to the reason, shock absorption system of lunar lander should be designed to absorb the landing energy of lunar lander efficiently for a successful lunar mission. Shock absorption system should be reliable, and the entire landing energy should be absorbed into the shock absorption system to prevent a critical bouncing or turn-over. One the other hand, to protect the payloads, excessive deceleration should be avoided while absorbing the landing energy.

To design an efficient shock absorption system of lunar lander, which satisfies… More >

Abstract Numerical mechanical models used for design of structures and processes are very complex and high-dimensionally parametrised. The understanding of the model characteristics is of interest for engineering tasks and subsequently for an efficient design. Multiple analysis methods are known and available to gain insight into existing models. In this contribution, selected methods from various fields are applied to a real world mechanical engineering example of a currently developed clinching process. The selection of introduced methods comprises techniques of machine learning and data mining, in which the utilization is aiming at a decreased numerical effort. The methods of choice are basically… More >

Abstract In this work, a sample-reusable sequential approximate optimization (SAO) procedure is suggested. The suggested sequential approximate optimization procedure utilizes a newly proposed sample-reusable meta-model along with the trust region algorithm. Domain of design is sequentially updated to search for the optimal solution through the trust region algorithm, and the system response in the updated design region at each sequential stage is approximated by the proposed sample-reusable meta-model. The proposed sample-reusable meta-model is based on the moving least squares(MLS) approximation scheme. Thanks to the merits of moving least squares scheme, the proposed meta-model can fully utilize the previously sampled responses as… More >

Abstract Virtual reality can enable computer scientists and domain experts to perform in virtuo experiments of numerical models of complex systems. Such dynamical and interactive experiments are indeed needed when it comes to complex systems with complex dynamics and structures. In this context, the question of the modeling tool to study such models is crucial. Such tool, called a virtuoscope, must enable the virtual experimentation of models inside a conceptual and experimental framework for imagining, modeling and experimenting the complexity of the studied systems. This article describes a conceptual framework and a meta model, called RéISCOP, that enable the construction and… More >

Abstract The problem of reliability analysis of randomly parametered, linear (or) nonlinear, structures subjected to static and (or) dynamic loads is considered. A deterministic finite element model for the structure to analyze sample realization of the structure is assumed to be available. The reliability analysis is carried out within the framework of response surface methods which involves the construction of surrogate models for performance functions to be employed in reliability calculations. This construction, in the present study, has involved combining space filling optimal Latin hypercube sampling, kriging models and methods from data-based asymptotic extreme value modeling of sequence of random variables.… More >
