Variance-based global sensitivity analysis of a hybrid thermoelectric generator fuzzy system

Feng Zhang et al.

Summary: In this paper, a hybrid thermoelectric generator (HTEG) model is established using nonequilibrium thermodynamics and Newton's heat transfer law. The influence of design parameters and contact effects on the output performance of HTEG are analyzed using fuzzy theory and global sensitivity analysis. The results provide guidance for performance analysis and parameter optimization of HTEG.

Extended fuzzy first-order and second-moment method based on equivalent regularization for estimating failure credibility

Xia Jiang et al.

Summary: Failure credibility is a measure of the safety degree of a structure under fuzzy uncertainty. The fuzzy first-order and second-moment (FFOSM) method is an efficient and accurate analytical method for solving failure credibility. This study proposes an equivalent regularization (EqRe) method to extend FFOSM to problems with irregularly and diversely distributed fuzzy inputs (Ir-FuI). The proposed E-FFOSM efficiently estimates the failure credibility of problems with Ir-FuI, inheriting the high efficiency and accuracy of classical FFOSM.

Variance based sensitivity analysis for Monte Carlo and importance sampling reliability assessment with Gaussian processes

Morgane Menz et al.

Summary: This paper presents a methodology to reduce the computational cost of reliability analysis for engineering problems involving complex numerical models using Gaussian process-based active learning methods. The sensitivity of the failure probability estimator to uncertainties generated by the Gaussian process and sampling strategy is quantified to control the overall error associated with the estimation. The proposed active learning approach aims to improve the estimation of rare event probabilities by reducing the main source of error and stopping when the global variability is sufficiently low, with its performance assessed on several examples.

Global Sensitivity Analysis Based on Entropy: From Differential Entropy to Alternative Measures

Zdenek Kala

Summary: The article highlights the significant flaw of using differential entropy as a sensitivity measure in global sensitivity analysis, and proposes an alternative sensitivity measure based on dome-shaped functionals. The new sensitivity measure leads to a more rational structure of sensitivity indices with a significantly lower proportion of higher-order sensitivity indices compared to other types of distributional sensitivity analysis.

Variance-based reliability sensitivity analysis and the FORM α-factors

Iason Papaioannou et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the relation between variance-based sensitivity measures and FORM alpha-factors, showing that there exist one-to-one relationships between them for linear limit-state functions of normal random variables. The relationships enable a good approximation of variance-based sensitivities for general reliability problems, shedding light on the behavior of first-order and total-effect indices of the failure event in engineering reliability problems.

Efficient procedure for failure probability function estimation in augmented space

Xiukai Yuan et al.

Summary: A novel procedure is proposed to estimate the failure probability function of design variables without distribution fitting, by transforming it into an expression that includes the posterior distribution and allowing it to be estimated by means of sampling. The proposed method shows efficient estimation of FPF within different simulation strategies and numerical examples demonstrate its performance.
