4 Computational models Modern engineering has to address problems of increasing complexity in various fields including infrastructures (civil engineering), energy (civil/mechanical engineering), aeronautics, defense, etc. Complex systems are designed using computational models that are based on: - a mathematical description of the physics (e.g. mechanics, acoustics, heat transfer, electromagnetism, etc.) - numerical algorithms that solve the resulting set of (e.g. partial differential) equations: finite element-, finite difference-, finite volume- methods, boundary element methods) B.

5 Computational models Simulation models are calibrated and validated through comparison with lab experiments and in situ / full scale measurements. Once they are validated, these models may be run with different sets of input parameters in order to: explore the design space at low cost optimize the system w.r.t to cost criteria assess the robustness of the system w.r.t. uncertainties Sources of uncertainty Differences between the designed and the real system in terms of material/physical properties and dimensions (tolerancing) Unforecast exposures: exceptional service loads, natural hazards (earthquakes, floods), climate loads (hurricanes, snow storms, etc.) B.

23 Monte Carlo simulation B. Sudret (Chair of Risk & Safety) Labex MS2T - Seminar February 14th, / 58

24 Monte Carlo simulation Principles The input random variables are sampled according to their joint PDF f X (x). For each sample x (i), the response M(x (i) ) is computed (possibly time-consuming). The response sample set M = {M(x (1) ),..., M(x (n) )} T is used to compute statistical moments, probabilities of failure or estimate the response distribution (histogram, kernel density estimation).

25 Monte Carlo simulation Advantages This is a universal method, i.e. which does not depend on the type of model M. It is statistically well defined: convergence, confidence intervals, etc. It is non intrusive, i.e. it is based on repeated runs of the computational model as a black box. It is suited to distributed computing (clusters of PCs). Drawbacks The scattering of Y is investigated point-by-point: if two samples x (i), x (j) are almost equal, two independent runs of the model are carried out. The convergence rate is low ( N 1/2 ). B. Sudret (Chair of Risk & Safety) Labex MS2T - Seminar February 14th, / 58

26 Spectral approach Principle The random response Y = M(X) is considered as an element of a suitable vector space. A basis of this space is built up (with respect to the input joint PDF). The response random vector Y is completely determined by its coordinates in this basis: Y = y j Ψ j(x) where: j=0 y j : coefficients to be computed (coordinates) Ψ j(x) : basis Assumption: Y has a finite second moment, i.e. : E [ Y 2] = Y 2 (ω)dp(ω) = M 2 (x) f X (x) dx < B.

Sudret (Chair of Risk & Safety) Labex MS2T - Seminar February 14th, / 58

30 Multivariate polynomials Polynomial chaos basis Computing the coefficients Post-processing Tensor product of 1D polynomials M One defines the multi-indices α = {α 1,..., α M }, of degree α = i=1 The associated multivariate polynomial reads: M Ψ α(x) = Ψ i α i (x i) i=1 α i The set of multivariate polynomials {Ψ α, α N M } forms a basis of the space: Y = y α Ψ α(x) α N M B. Sudret (Chair of Risk & Safety) Labex MS2T - Seminar February 14th, / 58

31 Practical implementation Polynomial chaos basis Computing the coefficients Post-processing The input random variables are first transformed into reduced variables (e.g. standard normal variables N (0, 1), uniform variables on [-1,1], etc.): X = T (ξ) dim ξ = M (isoprobabilistic transform) The model response is cast as a function of the reduced variables and expanded: Y = M(X) = M T (ξ) = y α Ψ α(ξ) α N M A truncature scheme is selected and the associated finite set of multi-indices is generated, e.g. : ( ) A = {α N M M + p : α p} card A P = p B.

33 Regression approach Polynomial chaos basis Computing the coefficients Post-processing Principle The exact (infinite) series expansion is considered as the sum of a truncated series and a residual: P 1 Y = M(X) = y j Ψ j(x) + ε P Y T Ψ(X) + ε P j=0 where: Y = {y 0,..., y P 1 } Ψ(x) = {Ψ 0(x),..., Ψ P 1 (x)} Mean-square minimization The coefficients are gathered into a vector Ŷ, and computed by minimizing the mean square error: [ (Y Ŷ = arg min E T Ψ(X) M(X) ) ] 2 B. Sudret (Chair of Risk & Safety) Labex MS2T - Seminar February 14th, / 58

34 Regression: discretized solution Polynomial chaos basis Computing the coefficients Post-processing The discretized mean-square minimization reads: Ŷ reg = arg min 1 n n ( Y T Ψ(x (i) ) M(x (i) ) ) 2 i=1 Select an experimental design X = { x (1),..., x (n)} T that covers at best the domain of variation of the parameters Evaluate the model response for each sample (exactly as in Monte carlo simulation) M = { M(x (1) ),..., M(x (n) ) } T Compute the experimental matrix A ij = Ψ j ( x (i) ) i = 1,..., n ; j = 0,..., P 1 Solve the least-square minimization problem Ŷ = (A T A) 1 A T M B.

35 Polynomial chaos basis Computing the coefficients Post-processing Validation of the surrogate model Blatman (2009) Blatman & Sudret ( ) The truncated series expansions are convergent in the mean square sense. However one does not know in advance where to truncate (problem-dependent). Most people truncate the series according to the total maximal degree of the polynomials, say (p=2,3,4, etc.). Several values of p are tested until some kind of convergence is empirically observed. The recent research deals with the development of error estimates: adaptive integration in the projection approach cross validation in the regression approach This has lead to the development of sparse polynomial chaos expansions. B. Sudret (Chair of Risk & Safety) Labex MS2T - Seminar February 14th, / 58

36 Error estimators Coefficient of determination Polynomial chaos basis Computing the coefficients Post-processing The regression technique is based on the minimization of the mean square error. The generalization error is defined as: [ (M(X) E gen = E M PC (X) ) ] 2 It may be estimated by the empirical error using the already computed response quantities: E emp = 1 n ( M(x (i) ) M PC (x (i) ) ) 2 n i=1 The coefficient of determination R 2 is often used as an error estimator: R 2 = 1 Eemp ˆV[Y] ˆV[Y] = 1 n (M(x(i) ) Ȳ)2 This error estimator may lead to overfitting B. Sudret (Chair of Risk & Safety) Labex MS2T - Seminar February 14th, / 58

37 Error estimators Leave-one-out cross validation Polynomial chaos basis Computing the coefficients Post-processing Principle In statistical learning theory, cross validation consists in splitting the experimental design Y in two parts, namely a training set (which is used to build the model) and a validation set. The leave-one-out technique consists in using each point of the experimental design as a single validation point for the meta-model built from the remaining n 1 points. n different meta-models are built and the error made on the remaining point is computed, then mean-square averaged. B. Sudret (Chair of Risk & Safety) Labex MS2T - Seminar February 14th, / 58

38 Cross validation Implementation Polynomial chaos basis Computing the coefficients Post-processing For each x (i), a polynomial chaos expansion is built using the following experimental design: X \x (i) = {x (j), j = 1,..., n, j i}, denoted by M PC\i (.). The predicted residual is computed in point x (i) : i = M PC\i (x (i) ) M(x (i) ) The PRESS coefficient(predicted residual sum of squares) is evaluated: PRESS = The leave-one-out error and related Q 2 error estimator are computed: E LOO = 1 n n i=1 2 i n i=1 2 i Q 2 = 1 E LOO ˆV[Y] B.

Depending on the situation, the PDF, the statistical moments or quantiles of Y are of interest (e.g. low quantiles in structural reliability analysis). The PC expansion must be post-processed in order to get relevant information on the model response B. Sudret (Chair of Risk & Safety) Labex MS2T - Seminar February 14th, / 58

40 Statistical moments Mean value and variance Polynomial chaos basis Computing the coefficients Post-processing From the orthonormality of the polynomial chaos basis one gets: E [Ψ α] = 0 E [Ψ αψ β ] = 0 Mean value ˆµ Y = y 0 The estimated mean value is the first term of the series. Variance ˆσ Y 2 = α A\0 y 2 α The estimated variance is computed as the sum of the squares of the remaining coefficients. B. Sudret (Chair of Risk & Safety) Labex MS2T - Seminar February 14th, / 58

41 Probability density function Polynomial chaos basis Computing the coefficients Post-processing Principle The polynomial series expansion may be considered as a stochastic response surface, i.e. an analytical function of the input variables ξ (after some isoprobabilistic transform), that may be sampled easily using Monte Carlo simulation. A large sample set of reduced variables is drawn ξ, say of size n sim = : X sim = { ξ (j), j = 1,..., n sim } The truncated series is evaluated onto this sample: { } Y sim = y α Ψ α(ξ j ), j = 1,..., n sim α A The obtained sample set is plotted as an histogram or by kernel density smoothing.

68 Tolerance analysis Mechanical example: composite beam Tolerance analysis In industrial mass production, assembled products are made of individual parts that are prone to uncertainty in their dimensions due to the manufacturing processes. Non-assembly problems may occur when some parts real dimensions differ (even slightly) from their theoretical values. After Gayton et al., Méca. Indus. (2011) Predicting the probability of non-assembly prior to the mass production is of crucial importance. Probabilistic methods derived from structural reliability analysis have been recently proposed. Gayton et al. (2011) B. Sudret (Chair of Risk & Safety) Labex MS2T - Seminar February 14th, / 58

69 Connector contact clearance Mechanical example: composite beam Tolerance analysis The axial deviation of an electrical connector pin is considered. After Gayton et al., Méca. Indus. (2011) The deviation is computed as a non linear function of 14 geometrical dimensions describing the geometry of the two parts and their respective position. Each dimension is characterized by a Gaussian variable. Since different surfaces are machined during the same operation, their dimensions are highly correlated, e.g. ρ S = 0.8 between the three different diameters of the pin. B. Sudret (Chair of Risk & Safety) Labex MS2T - Seminar February 14th, / 58

70 Results Mechanical example: composite beam Tolerance analysis Parameter δ CDF S S U S C cm cm cm cm cm cm cm cm cm ima ima ima ima ima Σ After Caniou (2012) A set of 5 dimensions explain 94% of the variance of the pin deviation. Three of them are correlated input variables for which the correlated contribution of the cov.-based indices is larger than the uncorrelated part. The δ-indices are consistent. The results may be used for tolerance allocation, i.e. allocate smaller tolerance intervals to important dimensions. B. Sudret (Chair of Risk & Safety) Labex MS2T - Seminar February 14th, / 58

71 Conclusions Mechanical example: composite beam Tolerance analysis Complex systems are nowadays modelled by computational workflows that involve various submodels / physics / scales of description. The existing uncertainty propagation methods have to be adapted to the specific characteristics of these models: large CPU demand: need for surrogate models, e.g. polynomial chaos expansions statistical dependence between the meaningful intermediate parameters of the workflow Sensitivity indices have been developed for the case of models with dependent input parameters and can be used in the context of complex workflows: distribution-based δ-indices covariance-based indices B.

72 Conclusions Mechanical example: composite beam Tolerance analysis whose efficiency in moment-, reliability- and sensitivity analysis is well established show a new feature in this context, namely the functional decomposition of the computational model. Further work is required to make these methods available to the industry in a convenient format. Thank you very much for your attention! B.
