Risk Assessment of Industrial Equipment

A machine learning framework for seismic risk assessment of industrial equipment


The paper aims to propose a novel machine learning framework for seismic risk assessment of industrial facilities. In this respect, a compound artificial neural network model is employed, which is based on two different artificial neural network models in series. The first artificial neural network is a regression model employed to generate samples of a vector-valued intensity measure. The second one is a classification model that is used to predict structural damage, starting from the outcomes of the first artificial neural network model.

The datasets used for training and validation of the two artificial neural networks are based on hazard-consistent accelerograms and numerical analyses that are performed with an efficient finite element model of the structure. The methodology entails a preliminary feature selection phase for the identification of the aforementioned vector-valued of intensity measures that better classifies the damage/no-damage condition of the structure. This phase is implemented through the principal component analysis method. Subsequently, the Metropolis–Hastings algorithm is used to generate samples of a selected intensity measure, feeding the first ANN model. In turn, the chosen features are used as input parameters of the second ANN model to generate samples of damage/no-damage events.

Using the two ANN in series, the mean annual frequency of exceeding a specific limit state is derived. The proposed framework is validated using a typical multi-storey steel frame, focusing on the seismic risk assessment of a vertical storage tank located at the first floor of the primary structure. The proposed method exhibits some clear advantages of combining numerical models with ANN techniques, mainly related to: a reduced computational time; the avoidance of any prior information on the probabilistic model of fragility curves; and the use of model-driven data.

Global Lighthouse Network

Smart, sustainable manufacturing: 3 lessons from the Global Lighthouse Network Launched in 2018, when more than 70% of factories struggled to scale digital transformation beyond isolated pilots, the Global Lighthouse Network set out to identify the world’s most advanced production sites and create a shared learning journey to up-level the global manufacturing community. In the past seven years, the network has grown from 16 to 201 industrial sites in more than 30 countries and 35 sectors, including the latest cohort of 13 new sites. This growing community of organizations is setting new standards for operational excellence, leveraging advanced technologies to drive growth, productivity, resilience and environmental sustainability. But what exactly is a Global Lighthouse and what has the network achieved? What is the Global Lighthouse Network? The Global Lighthouse Network is a community of operational facilities and value chains that harness digital technologies at scale to ac...

Multi-Modal Data

Multi-Task Federated Split Learning Across Multi-Modal Data with Privacy Preservation With the advancement of federated learning (FL), there is a growing demand for schemes that support multi-task learning on multi-modal data while ensuring robust privacy protection, especially in applications like intelligent connected vehicles. Traditional FL schemes often struggle with the complexities introduced by multi-modal data and diverse task requirements, such as increased communication overhead and computational burdens. In this paper, we propose a novel privacy-preserving scheme for multi-task federated split learning across multi-modal data (MTFSLaMM). Our approach leverages the principles of split learning to partition models between clients and servers, employing a modular design that reduces computational demands on resource-constrained clients. To ensure data privacy, we integrate differential privacy to protect intermediate data and employ homomorphic encryption to safeguard client m...

Quantum Network Nodes

An operating system for executing applications on quantum network nodes The goal of future quantum networks is to enable new internet applications that are impossible to achieve using only classical communication . Up to now, demonstrations of quantum network applications  and functionalities   on quantum processors have been performed in ad hoc software that was specific to the experimental setup, programmed to perform one single task (the application experiment) directly into low-level control devices using expertise in experimental physics.  Here we report on the design and implementation of an architecture capable of executing quantum network applications on quantum processors in platform-independent high-level software. We demonstrate the capability of the architecture to execute applications in high-level software by implementing it as a quantum network operating system-QNodeOS-and executing test programs, including a delegated computation from a client to a server ...
