An introduction to developing GitLab/Jacamar runner analyst centric workflows at Sandia

Robinson, Allen C.; Swan, Matthew S.; Harvey, Evan C.; Klein, Brandon; Lawson, Gary; Milewicz, Reed M.; Foulk, James W.; Schmitz, Mark E.; Warnock, Scott A.

This document provides very basic background information and initial enabling guidance for computational analysts to develop and utilize GitOps practices within the Common Engineering Environment (CEE) and High Performance Computing (HPC) computational environment at Sandia National Laboratories through GitLab/Jacamar runner based workflows.

Sierra/SD - How To Manual - 5.10

Crane, Nathan K.; Day, David M.; Dohrmann, Clark R.; Stevens, Brian; Lindsay, Payton; Plews, Julia A.; Vo, Johnathan; Bunting, Gregory; Joshi, Sidharth S.; Foulk, James W.; Chen, Mark J.Y.; Pepe, Justin

The How To Manual supplements the User’s Manual and the Theory Manual. The goal of the How To Manual is to reduce learning time for complex end to end analyses. These documents are intended to be used together. See the User’s Manual for a complete list of the options for a solution case. All the examples are part of the Sierra/SD test suite. Each runs as is. The organization is similar to the other documents: How to run, Commands, Solution cases, Materials, Elements, Boundary conditions, and then Contact. The table of contents and index are indispensable. The Geometric Rigid Body Modes section is shared with the Users Manual.

Uncertainty and Sensitivity Analysis Methods and Applications in the GDSA Framework (FY2022)

Swiler, Laura P.; Basurto, Eduardo; Brooks, Dusty M.; Eckert, Aubrey; Leone, Rosemary C.; Mariner, Paul; Portone, Teresa; Foulk, James W.

The Spent Fuel and Waste Science and Technology (SFWST) Campaign of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy (NE), Office of Fuel Cycle Technology (FCT) is conducting research and development (R&D) on geologic disposal of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level nuclear waste (HLW). Two high priorities for SFWST disposal R&D are design concept development and disposal system modeling. These priorities are directly addressed in the SFWST Geologic Disposal Safety Assessment (GDSA) control account, which is charged with developing a geologic repository system modeling and analysis capability, and the associated software, GDSA Framework, for evaluating disposal system performance for nuclear waste in geologic media. GDSA Framework is supported by SFWST Campaign and its predecessor the Used Fuel Disposition (UFD) campaign.

A heteroencoder architecture for prediction of failure locations in porous metals using variational inference

Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering

Bridgman, Wyatt; Zhang, Xiaoxuan; Teichert, Greg; Khalil, Mohammad; Garikipati, Krishna; Foulk, James W.

In this work we employ an encoder–decoder convolutional neural network to predict the failure locations of porous metal tension specimens based only on their initial porosities. The process we model is complex, with a progression from initial void nucleation, to saturation, and ultimately failure. The objective of predicting failure locations presents an extreme case of class imbalance since most of the material in the specimens does not fail. In response to this challenge, we develop and demonstrate the effectiveness of data- and loss-based regularization methods. Since there is considerable sensitivity of the failure location to the particular configuration of voids, we also use variational inference to provide uncertainties for the neural network predictions. We connect the deterministic and Bayesian convolutional neural network formulations to explain how variational inference regularizes the training and predictions. We demonstrate that the resulting predicted variances are effective in ranking the locations that are most likely to fail in any given specimen.
