机器学习算法在核工程压力容器设备力学分析中的应用

Application of Machine Learning Methods to Mechanical Analysis of Nuclear Engineering Pressure Vessel Equipment

  • 摘要: 针对当前核工程领域使用商业有限元软件对大量设备开展抗震力学计算分析时存在耗时长、占用计算资源多、无法复用历史数据等局限性,本文创新性地应用了CatBoost、LightGBM等六种集成算法模型,对核工程中典型卧式与立式压力容器设备在包含自重、内压、地震、接管等多载荷、多工况组合下的模态、应力、基础载荷等关键力学响应参数进行快速预测。本文通过拉丁超立方采样和ANSYS Batch模块自动化构建了大规模、高维度的样本数据集(卧式容器8451样本×144有效特征,立式容器11903样本×172有效特征),并采用决定系数(R2)和平均绝对百分比误差(MAPE)两项指标对模型性能进行综合评估与分析。结果表明,CatBoost模型在多数物理量的预测上表现出较高的精度和鲁棒性,这对指导实现快速响应工程设计的需求具有重要意义。

     

    Abstract: In current nuclear engineering, the use of commercial finite element software for seismic mechanical computation and analysis of a large number of equipment items suffers from several limitations, including long computation time, heavy consumption of computational resources, and the inability to reuse historical data. To address these issues, this paper innovatively applies six ensemble learning models, including CatBoost and LightGBM, to rapidly predict key mechanical response parameters—such as modal frequencies, stresses, and foundation loads of typical horizontal and vertical pressure vessels in nuclear engineering under multiple load types(e.g., self-weight, internal pressure, seismic loads, nozzle loads) and multi-condition combinations. A large-scale, high-dimensional dataset was automatically constructed via Latin Hypercube Sampling and ANSYS Batch modules, comprising 8,451 samples with 144 effective features for horizontal vessels and 11,903 samples with 172 effective features for vertical vessels. Model performance was comprehensively evaluated and analyzed using two metrics: the coefficient of determination (R2) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). The results show that the CatBoost model achieves high accuracy and robustness in predicting most physical quantities, which is of great significance for meeting the demand for rapid-response engineering design.
