Article Description

This paper proposes a novel optimization layout method for supporting clamps in a pipeline system. In this method, the global sensitivity analysis based on the Sobol method is presented to determine the influence of clamp position on the first-order frequency difference, the maximum vibration response displacement, and the maximum vibration stress. The modeling density of the finite element calculation is determined, and then a surrogate model of the relationship between the optimized input and the output is established through the neural network. The optimized position and orientation of the clamp are obtained by the genetic algorithm. Finally, a typical pipeline with clamps are conducted as an example to verify the effectiveness of the proposed optimization method. The simulations were compared with the experiment, and the result shows that the proposed optimization method can reduce the vibration of the pipeline system significantly, thus providing a new method for the arrangement of clamps in pipeline system.
