报告摘要：
The lecture will focus on utilization of soft computing methods for solving inverse problems in civil and structural engineering. In the proposed method instead of finding the original inverse function in analytical form a surrogate model in the form of artificial neural network is utilized. Its main advantages are robustness, extensibility and ability to adapt to new conditions. Important part of the inverse method is the utilization of efficient small-sample simulation technique Latin Hypercube Sampling used for preparation of training set utilized in stochastic training of neural network. Two particular inverse problems will be discussed – (i) identification of fracture–mechanical parameters and (ii) inverse reliability problem. In case of material parameters identification, the aim is to obtain the set of selected fracture–mechanical parameters describing quasi-brittle behavior of concrete including crack initiation and propagation. The known response is represented by diagram load vs. deflection or load vs. crack mouth opening displacement recorded during testing of specimen. The functional relationship between material parameters and above mentioned response is given in the form of nonlinear finite element model of the specimen. The second inverse problem is an inverse reliability analysis, which belongs to the category of a structural design, i.e. identification of design parameters in order to satisfy desired reliability described by reliability indicators related to particular limit states. Here, parameters to be identified are deterministic or random design parameters related to structure itself, acting load or surrounding environment. Known (in this case desired) response is the safety level described by reliability indicators. Practical examples of both classes of inverse problems will be presented.
