Chaotic Vibration Prediction of a Laminated Composite Cantilever Beam Subject to Random Parametric Error

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Random parametric errors (RPEs) are introduced into the model establishment of a laminated composite cantilever beam (LCCB) to demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of a recurrent neural network (RNN) in predicting the chaotic vibration of a LCCB, and a comparative analysis of training performance and generalization capability is conducted with a convolutional neural network (CNN). In the process of dynamic modeling, the nonlinear dynamic system of a LCCB is established by considering RPEs. The displacement and velocity time series obtained from numerical simulation are used to train and test the RNN model. The RNN model converts the original data into a multi-step supervised learning format and normalizes it using the MinMaxScaler method. The prediction performance is comprehensively evaluated through three performance indicators: coefficient of determination (R2), mean absolute error (MAE), and root mean square error (RMSE). The results show that, under the condition of introducing RPEs, the RNN model still exhibits high prediction accuracy, with the maximum R2 reaching 0.999984548634328, the maximum MAE being 0.075, and the maximum RMSE being 0.121. Furthermore, performing predictions at the free end of the LCCB verifies the applicability and robustness of the RNN model with respect to spatial position variations. These results fully demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of the RNN model in predicting the chaotic vibration of a LCCB.
