Neural Network Gaussian Process considering Input Uncertainty and Application to Composite Structures Assembly

Lee, Cheol Hei 18 May 2020 (has links)
Developing machine learning enabled smart manufacturing is promising for composite structures assembly process. It requires accurate predictive analysis on deformation of the composite structures to improve production quality and efficiency of composite structures assembly. The novel composite structures assembly involves two challenges: (i) the highly nonlinear and anisotropic properties of composite materials; and (ii) inevitable uncertainty in the assembly process. To overcome those problems, we propose a neural network Gaussian process model considering input uncertainty for composite structures assembly. Deep architecture of our model allows us to approximate a complex system better, and consideration of input uncertainty enables robust modeling with complete incorporation of the process uncertainty. Our case study shows that the proposed method performs better than benchmark methods for highly nonlinear systems. / Master of Science / Composite materials are becoming more popular in many areas due to its nice properties, yet computational modeling of them is not an easy task due to their complex structures. More-over, the real-world problems are generally subject to uncertainty that cannot be observed,and it makes the problem more difficult to solve. Therefore, a successful predictive modeling of composite material for a product is subject to consideration of various uncertainties in the problem.The neural network Gaussian process (NNGP) is one of statistical techniques that has been developed recently and can be applied to machine learning. The most interesting property of NNGP is that it is derived from the equivalent relation between deep neural networks and Gaussian process that have drawn much attention in machine learning fields. However,related work have ignored uncertainty in the input data so far, which may be an inappropriate assumption in real problems.In this paper, we derive the NNGP considering input uncertainty (NNGPIU) based on the unique characteristics of composite materials. Although our motivation is come from the manipulation of composite material, NNGPIU can be applied to any problem where the input data is corrupted by unknown noise. Our work provides how NNGPIU can be derived theoretically; and shows that the proposed method performs better than benchmark methods for highly nonlinear systems.
