A Global Sensitivity Analysis Framework for Hybrid Simulation with Stochastic Substructures

Hybrid simulation is an experimental method used to investigate the dynamic response of a reference prototype structure by decomposing it to physically-tested and numerically-simulated substructures. The latter substructures interact with each other in a real-time feedback loop and their coupling fo...

description Hybrid simulation is an experimental method used to investigate the dynamic response of a reference prototype structure by decomposing it to physically-tested and numerically-simulated substructures. The latter substructures interact with each other in a real-time feedback loop and their coupling forms the hybrid model. In this study, we extend our previous work on metamodel-based sensitivity analysis of deterministic hybrid models to the practically more relevant case of stochastic hybrid models. The aim is to cover a more realistic situation where the physical substructure response is not deterministic, as nominally identical specimens are, in practice, never actually identical. A generalized lambda surrogate model recently developed by some of the authors is proposed to surrogate the hybrid model response, and Sobol’ sensitivity indices are computed for substructure quantity of interest response quantiles. Normally, several repetitions of every single sample of the inputs parameters would be required to replicate the response of a stochastic hybrid model. In this regard, a great advantage of the proposed framework is that the generalized lambda surrogate model does not require repeated evaluations of the same sample. The effectiveness of the proposed hybrid simulation global sensitivity analysis framework is demonstrated using an experiment.
