Title: Uncertainty Quantification Method for Structural Responses under Constraints
Abstract:
In the engineering field, dealing with black-box problems poses numerous challenges. Existing methods such as the deterministic safety factor method and traditional uncertainty methods (e.g., Gaussian distribution) have drawbacks like high costs and the "black-box in, black-box out" issue. This paper focuses on the uncertainty quantification of structural responses under constraint conditions and proposes a new solution approach. The research provides a mathematical description of uncertain propagation with constraints and establishes a numerical algorithm, the Key Conditional Quotient (KCQ), based on the generalized quasi-Monte Carlo method. By introducing a reference value coefficient to judge the value of key constraints, more accurate uncertainty propagation analysis can be achieved. This method has a wide range of applications and performs well in static and dynamic response estimation, heat conduction, navigation state estimation, and structural response interval analysis. It can effectively reduce the degree of uncertainty, provide an accurate statistical basis for structural safety and reliability analysis, and has significant advantages in real-time computing scenarios such as digital twins, contributing to solving complex black-box problems.
