Random fields representation over manifolds via isometric feature mapping-based dimension reduction

De-Cheng Feng et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a two-stage strategy to map manifolds to 2D Euclidean space using Isometric feature mapping, allowing for the generation of random fields over irregular geometries. The stochastic harmonic function method is used to generate random fields, and case studies on stochastic finite element analysis of different structures are performed to demonstrate applicability and efficiency of the proposed method.

Adaptive Bayesian support vector regression model for structural reliability analysis

Kai Cheng et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a structural reliability analysis method based on Bayesian support vector regression (SVR) model, which features point-wise probabilistic prediction while keeping the structural risk minimization principle. The method determines the optimal hyperparameters by maximizing Bayesian model evidence and presents two active learning algorithms based on the SVR model to estimate large and small failure probabilities of complex structures. Four benchmark examples are used to validate the performance of the proposed method.

Bayesian probabilistic propagation of imprecise probabilities with large epistemic uncertainty

Pengfei Wei et al.

Summary: Efficient propagation of imprecise probability models is achieved through the development of a new methodology framework named NIPI, focusing on the distributional probability-box model and the estimation of probabilistic moments of model responses. By integrating spatial correlation information revealed by the GPR model, NIPI estimations with high accuracy are derived, and numerical errors are treated as epistemic uncertainty.
