Resonance risk and global sensitivity analysis of a straight–curved combination pipe based on active learning Kriging model

Abstract

The resonance failure of straight–curved combination pipes conveying fluid which are widely used in engineering is becoming a serious issue. But there are only few studies available on the resonance failure of combination pipes. The resonance failure probability and global sensitivity analysis of straight–curved combination pipes conveying fluid are studied by the active learning Kriging method proposed in this article. Based on the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory, the dynamic stiffness matrices of straight and curved pipes are derived in the local coordinate system, respectively. Then the dynamic stiffness matrix and characteristic equation of a straight–curved combination pipe conveying fluid are assembled under a global coordinate system. The natural frequency is calculated based on the characteristic equation. A resonance failure performance function is established based on the resonance failure mechanism and relative criterions. The active learning Kriging model based on expected risk function is introduced for calculating the resonance failure probability and moment-independent global sensitivity analysis index. The importance rankings of input variables are obtained with different velocities. According to the results, it is shown that the method proposed in this article provides a lot of guidance for resonance reliability analysis and anti-resonance design in combination pipes conveying fluid.
