  • 基于贝叶斯锚定潜空间构建离散图结构,保持设计物理可实现性
  • 仅评估合法目录设计,减少计算量并避免取整误差
  • 适用于需要严格满足材料规格的复杂结构鲁棒设计

高维随机不确定性下的分类结构优化极具挑战:每个设计变量必须从有限材料目录中选择,而每个候选设计需昂贵的随机有限元分析(MC-FEA)评估。现有潜空间优化方法常将降维后的空间视为连续域,导致最优解需四舍五入至最近目录实例,可能改变目标值、约束状态或物理意义。本文提出 extbf{COBALT} 框架,先将物理目录嵌入低维潜空间,并将映射实例锁定为离散锚定图;通过数据无关的随机树分解,实现高维分类变量上的有界复杂度加性建模。在此锚定域上,拟合异方差 MC-FEA 观测的 SAAS-GP 代理模型,并采用信任域离散图搜索策略选取下一可行目录配置,无需连续松弛或取整。该方法应用于复杂杆状结构的鲁棒设计优化,考虑结构重量、应变能与局部屈曲性能。仅通过有效目录设计的 MC-FEA 代理评估,COBALT 在主动学习循环中始终保证物理可行性,显著提升鲁棒分类结构优化效率。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Categorical structural optimization under aleatoric uncertainty is challenging because each design variable must be selected from a finite catalog of admissible instances, while each candidate design may require expensive stochastic finite-element evaluations. Existing latent-space optimization strategies can reduce the dimensionality of catalog attributes, but they often treat the reduced space as a continuous search domain. The resulting continuous optimum must then be rounded off to a nearby catalog instance, which may alter the objective value, constraint status, or physical interpretation of the design. To address this issue, this paper proposes the \textbf{C}ategorical \textbf{O}ptimization with \textbf{B}ayesian \textbf{A}nchored \textbf{L}atent \textbf{T}rust Regions (\textbf{COBALT}) framework for high-dimensional categorical Optimization Under Uncertainty. COBALT first embeds the physical catalog into a low-dimensional latent representation and locks the mapped instances as a discrete anchored graph. A data-independent random tree decomposition is then used to provide bounded-complexity additive modeling over high-dimensional categorical variables. On this anchored domain, an additive SAAS-GP surrogate is fitted to heteroscedastic MC-FEA observations, and a trust-region discrete graph acquisition search selects the next admissible catalog configuration without continuous relaxation or rounding-off. The proposed strategy is applied to robust design optimization of complex bar structures, considering structural weight, strain energy, and local buckling performance. By evaluating only valid catalog designs through the MC-FEA oracle, COBALT preserves physical admissibility throughout the active learning loop and improves the efficiency of robust categorical structural optimization.
