Fatigue residual life estimation of jib structure based on improved v‐SVR algorithm obtaining equivalent load spectrum

Abstract

Fatigue tests of truck crane jib structure have great difficulty, long testing cycle, and high cost. Therefore, with the portfolio strategy for "collection, prediction, measurement and simulation" being introduced, an improved support vector regression (v-SVR) algorithm is proposed to predict the equivalent load spectrum based on the small measured load spectrum and the fatigue residual life evaluation model is built. First, the v-SVR algorithm corrected in kernel function, decision function, and parameter optimization is utilized to acquire the equivalent load spectrum. Second, the distribution of critical points is determined by the case-based reasoning technique. The simulation model of first main stress-time histories for critical points is established, and the twodimensional stress spectrum is obtained by the rain-flow counting method. Finally, the fatigue residual life of jib structure is estimated by the Forman formula. Taking ZLJ5551JQZ110V truck crane jib structure as an example, the effectiveness of the above method is validated.KEYWORDS equivalent load spectrum, fatigue residual life, improved v-SVR algorithm, jib structure

Fatigue life evaluation model for various austenitic stainless steels at elevated temperatures via alloy features‐based machine learning approach

“…18 It has been successfully used as an extremely powerful tool to optimize the chemical compositions of materials to achieve desired properties, 19,20 for instance, developing high strength and high ductility Al alloy 21 and high strength with high conductivity Cu alloy. [22][23][24][25] Additionally, in mechanical science, machine learning method is used to predict fatigue life under uniaxial or multiaxial loading, [26][27][28][29][30][31] fatigue limit, 32,33 and short fatigue crack propagation behavior. 34,35 The established model through machine learning algorithms for predicting fatigue life mostly focuses on only one material in the aforementioned publishments.…”

Load Spectrum Compilation Method of Hybrid Electric Vehicle Reducers Based on Multi-Criteria Decision Making

“…Therefore, it is crucial that the influence of different working conditions on the load spectrum is fully considered in the process of programming the load spectrum [27][28][29]. Compiling a program load spectrum suitable for hybrid electric vehicles can improve the reliability and accuracy of the simulation test of the fatigue life of the reducer [30][31][32]. Xu L et al compiled a load spectrum for the impeller for the simulation analysis of fatigue life-influencing factors and fatigue fracture regions.…”
