Uncertain stochastic vibration characteristic analysis of composite laminated rectangular plate based on improved kriging model

Abstract

The stochastic vibration analysis of composite laminated structures has been conducted extensively in the field of structural dynamics. Existing studies in this field are primarily conducted based on deterministic structural parameters, whereas the effects of parametric uncertainties on the stochastic vibration characteristics of composite laminated structures are disregarded. This study investigates a composite laminated rectangular plate by considering the effect of interval uncertainty in the intrinsic parameters and load on its stochastic vibration characteristics. A rapid analysis model for the structural stochastic vibration characteristics is established based on an improved kriging model. Additionally, an innovative approach that combines the improved kriging model with intelligent optimization is proposed to solve problems pertaining to uncertainty-propagation analysis of structures. Based on this method, an uncertainty-propagation analysis of structural stochastic vibration responses is efficiently implemented. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by comparing the results with those obtained from Monte Carlo simulation. The numerical results indicate that different uncertain factors exert varying degrees of effect on the stochastic vibration characteristics of the plate. Finally, the effects of density, elastic modulus ratio, fiber orientation and load on the interval fluctuation patterns of uncertain responses are discussed.
