A combined reduced-order and neural-network approach to uncertainty propagation in dynamic response of axial piston hydraulic pump
摘要
Hydraulic systems are increasingly used in machinery and industrial applications owing to their inherent advantages. In general, monitoring the dynamic responses of hydraulic pumps is an effective approach to maintaining the technical condition of hydraulic systems during operation. In the present study, we investigate dynamic responses of an axial piston pump with uncertainties in geometrical and operational parameters using Karhunen–Loève (KL) expansion and neural-network (NN) surrogates. Based on the established dynamic model, the Runge–Kutta (RK) numerical method is used to determine the pump characteristics, serving as input data for constructing surrogate models. Then, the dynamic characteristics of the pump system are analyzed considering the uncertainties of the system parameters via multiscale-informed approaches. The findings indicate that the reconstructed fifth-order KL decomposition and four-layer neural network exhibit excellent predictive accuracy in capturing the dynamic behavior of the pump with a relative error threshold of
