Popis: For structural integrity assessment, when dealing with problems such as uncertainty quantification, real-time structural health monitoring, and reliability analysis, fracture mechanics parameters, e.g. the energy release rate, are required to be evaluated for a large amount of crack configurations. Using finite element (FE) models directly for this task is generally time consuming. This work follows a machine learning-based method aiming at a fast estimation of the fracture mechanics parameters. Towards this end, the offline data are first created by performing the FE simulations for a set of crack configurations from which these parameters can be extracted and then a machine learning algorithm (e.g. artificial neural network (ANN)) is used to build a surrogate model with the obtained data. Using this surrogate model, the above mentioned tasks can be performed with a significantly reduced computational cost while assuring accurate results.
