  • 构建多保真代理模型,结合低精度与高精度仿真数据
  • 仅用5%低精度样本进行高成本分析,效率提升显著
  • 可推荐最优悬架类型与参数,适合机械设计自动化场景

机械装置常有多种设计满足相同功能需求,如汽车悬架需平衡驾驶性能与乘坐舒适性,但设计多样性导致性能比较困难。传统设计流程步骤繁多,依赖昂贵的有限元分析(FEA),且在不同保真度间迁移存在数据与环境限制。本文提出一种多保真神经网络框架,用于推荐最优机械机构类型与设计。以汽车悬架为例,定义多种类型,生成参数并构建3D CAD模型,先进行低保真刚体动力学分析;利用DBSCAN对结果聚类,仅采样5%关键样本进行高成本柔性体动力学分析。基于此训练多保真代理模型,建立多目标优化问题,针对各悬架类型优化舒适性相关指标。通过数据挖掘提取帕累托解集的设计规律,并与传统深度学习方法对比验证了本方法的有效性与适用性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Mechanisms are designed to perform functions in various fields. Often, there is no unique mechanism that performs a well-defined function. For example, vehicle suspensions are designed to improve driving performance and ride comfort, but different types are available depending on the environment. This variability in design makes performance comparison difficult. Additionally, the traditional design process is multi-step, gradually reducing the number of design candidates while performing costly analyses to meet target performance. Recently, AI models have been used to reduce the computational cost of FEA. However, there are limitations in data availability and different analysis environments, especially when transitioning from low-fidelity to high-fidelity analysis. In this paper, we propose a multi-fidelity design framework aimed at recommending optimal types and designs of mechanical mechanisms. As an application, vehicle suspension systems were selected, and several types were defined. For each type, mechanism parameters were generated and converted into 3D CAD models, followed by low-fidelity rigid body dynamic analysis under driving conditions. To effectively build a deep learning-based multi-fidelity surrogate model, the results of the low-fidelity analysis were analyzed using DBSCAN and sampled at 5% for high-cost flexible body dynamic analysis. After training the multi-fidelity model, a multi-objective optimization problem was formulated for the performance metrics of each suspension type. Finally, we recommend the optimal type and design based on the input to optimize ride comfort-related performance metrics. To validate the proposed methodology, we extracted basic design rules of Pareto solutions using data mining techniques. We also verified the effectiveness and applicability by comparing the results with those obtained from a conventional deep learning-based design process.
