Abstract
- • Thermomechanical problem of FGMs sphere with material uncertainties is analyzed. • The interval random uncertainty model is recommended for material parameters. • A data-driven ANN fast calculation for FGMs sphere uncertainties analysis is established. • The volume fraction distribution is optimized for the safety design of the FGMs sphere. Mechanical analysis and optimal design for functionally graded materials (FGMs) structures are significant. The present paper analyzes the parameter uncertainties problem for the thermomechanical response of the FGMs spherical shells with volume fraction power distribution. Here, the interval random uncertainty model is recommended to describe the uncertainties of each component of material parameters in FGMs, and a data-driven artificial neural network (ANN) fast calculation for FGMs spherical shells thermomechanical problems with uncertainties analysis is established and trained. The thermomechanical coupling response analysis and volume fraction optimization analysis of the FGMs spherical shell with material uncertainties are realized for zirconia-titanium FGMs, with the maximum normalized Von Mises stress as the structural safety index and the ANN as the fast calculation method. In addition, the Von Mises stress of the FGMs spherical shell and a ZrO 2 -Ti alloy double-layer spherical shell under different loads is compared. The results show that material parameter uncertainties, especially those in Young's modulus, thermal expansion coefficient, and uniaxial yield limit significantly affect structural safety. The structural safety index λ calculated based on the volume fraction optimization design of FGMs spherical shell is significantly lower than that of the ZrO 2 -Ti alloy double-layer. The ANN method greatly improves the computational efficiency for uncertain problems and maintains high accuracy, compared with the statistical analysis after many calculations by randomly selecting material parameters. This study provides a path for the safety design of FGMs structures with uncertain parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
