STRUCTURAL RELIABILITY OPTIMIZATION DESIGN OF REINFORCED SHELL STRUCTURE BASED ON ADAPTIVE SURROGATE MODEL by LIU Yuzhuo, CAO Lixiong, WU Jianguo, LI Haibo

“…Reinforced shell structure is widely used in aerospace load-bearing structures because its high specific stiffness and specific strength.By considering the uncertainty and risk factors in the structural parameters, the reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) can avoid the overly conservative design of the structure and ensure its reliability and safety.An efficient RBDO method based on adaptive surrogate model was proposed to solve the problem of lightweight design of reinforced shell structure under buckling reliability constraints.The adaptive addition of sample points was implemented through the expected feasibility function criterion, and the discrete variables was continued by constructing piecewise functions.This increases optimization efficiency while ensuring the reliability of design results.Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by comparing the RBDO results with the deterministic optimization results.…”

Jump around: Selecting Markov Chain Monte Carlo parameters and diagnostics for improved food web model quality and ecosystem representation by Gemma Gerber, Ursula M. Scharler

“…However, little information exists on how each LIM-MCMC algorithm parameter affects the degree of empirical data variability introduced into the ensemble. Further, post hoc algorithm quality diagnostics with commonly used trace plots and the coefficient of variation (CoV) rarely address critical aspects of algorithm quality, such as (1) if the returned ensemble successfully targeted the solution space distribution (stationarity), (2) correlation between ensemble solutions (mixing), and (3) if the ensemble contains enough solutions to adequately capture input data variability (sampling efficiency). …”
