Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of frozen soil parameter measurement based on machine learning, and in particular to a method and system for simultaneously measuring the ice content and unfrozen water content in frozen soil pores. Background Art

[0002] A short and constant pulse heat source is applied to the frozen soil. The curve of temperature change over time at a certain location is measured (called temperature response curve, TRC). TRC is directly controlled by the thermal parameters of the frozen soil (i.e., λ and C). When the ice and water content in the frozen soil changes, the λ and C of the frozen soil also change, causing the characteristics of TRC to change. Therefore, TRC contains information about ice and water. In other words, if TRC can be accurately measured, it can be inverted and analyzed to obtain ice content information.

[0003] At present, the methods for measuring unfrozen water content and ice content have their own limitations. The methods for testing soil ice content can be divided into direct methods and indirect methods. Indirect methods usually require the total moisture content of the soil to be known first, and then measure the unfrozen water content, and calculate the ice content through the two. For example, neutron scattering method and nuclear magnetic resonance method. This type of method is only applicable to closed systems or when the total moisture content is known. However, frozen soil in nature is an open system, and the continuous migration of unfrozen water will cause the total moisture content to change continuously. Therefore, the scope of application of indirect methods is limited. Direct methods do not require the measurement of total moisture content, such as expansion method and transient heat source method. These methods rely heavily on complex instruments, which reduces measurement efficiency and makes it difficult to quickly measure ice content and unfrozen water content in field environments.

[0004] The transient heat source method has certain advantages in measuring ice content due to the sensitivity of frozen soil to temperature. The basic principle of the transient heat source method is to place a short pulse heat source in the soil and interpret the frozen soil parameters by analyzing the temperature response. This method can easily cause ice in the frozen soil to melt, thus affecting the measurement results. However, the ice / water phase change requires a large and continuous energy input. As long as the power / time of the input energy is controlled, the impact of the phase change can be reduced to a certain extent. Li Xu [1] et al. proposed a pulse heat probe method based on the transient heat source method. By measuring the temperature response in the frozen soil, the ice content of the frozen soil was calculated. Wu Bing [2] et al. developed an actively heated fiber Bragg grating sensor based on the transient heat source method for measuring ice content.

[0005] The existing calculation models based on transient heat source method are all empirical models, which not only lack theoretical basis, but also contain many empirical parameters. In addition, these parameters need to be calibrated through a large number of laboratory experiments, which further reduces the measurement efficiency. There are two problems with the two measurement methods of Li Xu et al. [1] and Wu Bing et al. [2]: 1) The calculation models of ice content are all empirical models, which contain many assumptions and empirical parameters and lack a solid theoretical basis, resulting in certain calculation errors; 2) The undetermined parameters in the calculation model need to be calibrated through a large number of laboratory experiments, which limits the measurement accuracy and efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0028] Terminology explanation:

[0029] 1. Ice content and unfrozen water content of frozen soil (θ i and θ u): Due to the suction in the pores of frozen soil, ice and water coexist. The phase change of ice and water in frozen soil is one of the important factors that lead to its unstable properties. Ice content and unfrozen water content are basic parameters to describe the characteristics of frozen soil. They directly affect key processes such as thermal properties, mechanical behavior and water migration of frozen soil. Rapid and accurate measurement of ice content and unfrozen water content in frozen soil is of great significance to engineering construction in cold regions.

[0030] 2. Temperature response curve: In geotechnical materials, if constant time (t0) and constant power (P0) heat is input, the geotechnical materials at a constant distance (r0) from the heat source will gradually heat up. Measure the temperature of this point at different times (t i ,T i ), where the time of starting heating is t=0. Further according to ΔT i =T i -T0, (where T0 is the initial temperature), calculate the temperature change at different times (t i ,ΔT i ). i As the horizontal axis, ΔT i The curve described by the ordinate is the thermal response curve. As the geothermal parameters of the geotechnical materials change, the curve will change synchronously.

[0031] 3. Inverse analysis: Starting from the measured structural response (such as displacement, strain, temperature field, etc.), the input conditions or model parameters are inferred. In the present invention, the ice content and unfrozen water content are inversely calculated by measuring the temperature response curve.

[0032] 4. Monte Carlo numerical simulation: It is a method for performing large-scale, random numerical simulations. This method can be used to perform a large number of numerical simulations and generate a large number of data sets required for machine learning.

[0033] 5. Backpropagation Algorithm: Backpropagation Algorithm, referred to as BP algorithm, is a machine learning algorithm. BP algorithm calculates the gradient of the loss function with respect to the network parameters and uses these gradients to reversely update the weights and biases of the network to minimize the prediction error of the loss function.

[0034] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the ice content and the unfrozen water content of frozen soil can be measured simultaneously within one minute, which greatly improves the measurement efficiency and avoids the assumptions of the empirical model.

[0049] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned system is used to implement a method for simultaneously measuring the pore ice content and unfrozen water content of frozen soil, including: using an acquisition module to obtain the temperature response curve and specific frozen soil parameters of frozen soil under a pulse heat source; the specific frozen soil parameters include the density of frozen soil particles, the thermal conductivity of frozen soil particles, the specific heat capacity of frozen soil particles and the specific gravity of frozen soil particles; using a processing module to process the acquired temperature response curve and specific frozen soil parameters using a pre-trained inversion analysis model to obtain the frozen soil ice content and unfrozen water content; wherein, the inversion analysis model is trained using a training set. The invention discloses an inversion analysis model, wherein the training set comprises multiple groups of data, each group of data comprises a temperature response curve, and each temperature response curve is labeled with the ice content of frozen soil, the unfrozen water content of frozen soil, the density of frozen soil particles, the thermal conductivity of frozen soil particles, the specific heat capacity of frozen soil particles and the specific gravity of frozen soil particles; a machine learning algorithm is adopted, with the temperature response curve and different frozen soil parameters as inputs, and the ice content of frozen soil and the unfrozen water content of frozen soil as outputs, to train the training set and extract features, compare the prediction effects when different frozen soil parameters are used as inputs, and obtain the optimal inversion analysis model.

[0050] Among them, a group of parameters are set including the ice content of frozen soil, the unfrozen water content of frozen soil, the density of frozen soil particles, the thermal conductivity of frozen soil particles, the specific heat capacity of frozen soil particles and the specific gravity of frozen soil particles, and a group of thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity of frozen soil are calculated according to the set parameters; based on the transient heat conduction numerical simulation model of frozen soil, the thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity of frozen soil under heat pulse are set to obtain the corresponding temperature response curve; Monte Carlo sampling is performed on the set frozen soil ice content, unfrozen water content of frozen soil, the density of frozen soil particles, the thermal conductivity of frozen soil particles, the specific heat capacity of frozen soil particles and the specific gravity of frozen soil particles, and multiple groups of thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity of frozen soil are calculated, and the obtained multiple groups of thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity of frozen soil are input into the transient heat conduction numerical simulation model to obtain the corresponding multiple groups of temperature response curves.

[0051] The following four equations are used to calculate the thermal conductivity parameters and density of frozen soil:

[0052]

[0053] ρ f =ρ s +0.92θ i +θ w

[0054]

[0055] Among them, ρ f is the density of frozen soil, C f is the specific heat capacity of frozen soil, λ f is the thermal conductivity of frozen soil; ρ s is the density of soil particles; θ is the volume fraction; φ is the mass fraction, and Gs is the specific gravity of soil particles.

[0056] In the transient heat conduction numerical simulation model of frozen soil, the following equation is used as the control equation for heat conduction simulation: Where T is temperature, t is time, u is velocity, and Q is the heat source.

[0057] Using BP model to (θ i ,θu) to perform inversion analysis and establish the following mapping relationship:

[0058]

[0059] Among them, [θ i ,θ u ],TRC=[T f0 ,T f1 ,T f2 …T f60 ],s=[ρ s ,λ s ,C s ].T fi is the temperature response data of frozen soil within 60s, with a measurement frequency of 1s; θ i represents the ice content of frozen soil, θ u represents water content; ρ s represents the density of frozen soil particles; s represents the thermal conductivity of frozen soil particles; C s represents the specific heat capacity of frozen soil particles.

[0060] Example 2

[0061] In this embodiment 2, a method for quickly and simultaneously measuring the pore ice content and unfrozen water content of frozen soil is provided. First, the TRC and specific frozen soil parameters of the frozen soil under a pulse heat source are measured and obtained, and then they are input into the inversion analysis model to quickly predict the ice content θi and the unfrozen water content θu.

[0062] First, select the calculation model of thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity of frozen soil. Set a set of (θ i ,θ u , s , s , C s , G s ) parameters and input them into the calculation model to obtain a set of frozen soil (λ f and C f ).

[0063] Secondly, a transient heat conduction numerical simulation model of frozen soil was established based on laboratory conditions. In this model, a heating probe was inserted into the frozen soil to provide a short heat pulse. By setting the geothermal parameters (λf and Cf) of the frozen soil, the TRC under the parameter conditions can be obtained.

[0064] Then, Monte Carlo sampling is performed on (θi, θu, ρs, λs, Cs, Gs), tens of thousands of sets of (λf and Cf) are calculated, and input into the numerical model. Each time (λf and Cf) is input, a set of TRCs can be obtained. Finally, a database consisting of tens of thousands of TRCs is constructed, each of which is labeled with (θi, θu, ρs, λs, Cs, Gs).

[0065] Finally, a machine learning algorithm was used to train the data set and extract features, with TRC and different frozen soil parameters (ρs, λs, Cs, Gs) as input and θu and θi as output. The prediction effects when different frozen soil parameters were used as input were compared to obtain the optimal inversion analysis model.

[0066] In this embodiment, constructing a numerical simulation model includes the following steps:

[0067] The following four equations are used to calculate the thermal conductivity parameters and density of frozen soil:

[0068]

[0069] ρ f =ρ s +0.92θ i +θ w (3)

[0070]

[0071] Among them, ρ f is the density of frozen soil; C f is the specific heat capacity of frozen soil; f is the thermal conductivity of frozen soil; ρ s is the density of soil particles; θ is the volume fraction; φ is the mass fraction, and Gs is the specific gravity of the particles.

[0072] In the above four equations, six independent variables or parameters in frozen soil need to be determined: θ i (Ice content), θ u (unfrozen water content), ρ s (soil particle density), μ s (Parameters related to soil texture, including λ s (particle thermal conductivity), C s (Specific heat capacity of frozen soil particles), G s (Specific gravity of particles). Once the above six variables or parameters are determined, the thermal parameters of frozen soil can be determined to simulate the transient heat conduction process of frozen soil.

[0073] In this embodiment, the laboratory conditions of the numerical simulation model are as follows: an acrylic cylinder is used as a soil container, and the container dimensions are inner diameter Φ = 10 cm, thickness δ = 5 mm, and height h = 10 cm. The interior of the container is frozen soil, and a temperature sensor is inserted into it. Figure 1 (a) shown.

[0074] The sensor has three probes, with a heating needle on the left, which provides a short pulse heat source. The heating needle is composed of polypropylene filler and steel shell. There is a pt100 temperature measuring needle (called the temperature measuring needle) on the right side 1 cm away from the heating needle, and the material is platinum. The left side of the heating needle is close to another temperature measuring needle, which is used to monitor the temperature of the heating needle. The radius of the three needles is 2 mm. The thermophysical parameters used for each material in the numerical model are shown in Table 1. Large pulse heat sources can cause drastic phase changes in frozen soil. Appropriate pulse heat source time and power are crucial to accurately simulate the heat conduction of frozen soil. The pulse heat source power used in this study is Q = 15W / m, and the heating time is t = 10s.

[0075] Table 1 Thermophysical parameters of each material in the numerical model

[0076]

[0077] The following equation is used as the governing equation for heat conduction simulation:

[0078]

[0079] Among them, T is temperature; t is time; u is speed; Q is heat source.

[0080] The area between the three probes is the key area for simulating transient heat conduction. The cylindrical area with a radius of 15 mm in the middle of the frozen soil was refined, and the grid unit size was 0.022 mm to 2.2 mm. The outer area of ​​the cylinder was coarsened, and the grid unit size was 1.1 mm to 8.8 mm. Figure 1 The advantage of this treatment is that it reduces the amount of calculation for a single simulation while ensuring the accuracy of TRC simulation.

[0081] Using the above numerical simulation model, after inputting the six parameters, the transient heat conduction in frozen soil can be simulated to obtain the TRC curve of the heating needle. After each simulation, the TRC time range derived from the model is 0 to 60 seconds, and the sampling frequency is 1Hz.

[0082] Monte Carlo sampling of six parameters includes:

[0083] Six parameters (θi, θu, ρs, λs, Cs, Gs) need to be input to obtain a simulated TRC in the numerical model. Among these six parameters, (λs, Cs, Gs, ρs) are parameters related to soil texture; (θi, θu, ρs) are parameters related to the volume fraction of the three phases of frozen soil. Monte Carlo sampling is performed on the six parameters (λs, Cs, Gs, θi, θu, ρs).

[0084] Due to the limitation of soil porosity, the following boundary conditions are set:

[0085] ρ s / G s +θ i +θ w ≤1 (6)

[0086] Considering the numerical range of frozen soil parameters in nature, the range of λs is 1-5W / m·K, the range of Cs is 600-1500J / kg·K, and the range of Gs is 2.6-2.8. The sampling times of these three parameters are 5 times. The range of ρs is 0.6-1.9g / cm 3 , the value range of θu is 0-50%, and the sampling times of both are more than 10 times. The sampling ranges of the six parameters are shown in Table 2. Finally, (θ i ,θu,ρ s ,λ s ,C s ,G s ) is as follows: Figure 2 shown.

[0087] Table 2 Ranges of dry density, ice content, and unfrozen water content of three soils

[0088]

[0089]

[0090] Therefore, by Monte Carlo sampling of the six parameters, tens of thousands of parameter combinations with different values ​​of (θi, θu, ρs, λs, Cs, Gs) were established. Based on the tens of thousands of parameter combinations (θi, θu, ρs, λs, Cs, Gs) in Section 3.1, tens of thousands of (λf, Cf, ρf) can be obtained by calculation through equations (1) to (4) and input into the numerical model. After tens of thousands of simulations, tens of thousands of TRCs with (θi, θu, ρs, λs, Cs, Gs) and (λf, Cf, ρf) as labels can be obtained.

[0091] It should be noted that the TRC derived from the numerical model only includes the temperature data of the first 60 seconds of heating needle, i.e., T0, T1, T2…T 60(According to the frequency of 1 second, a total of 61 data points).

[0092] In this embodiment, constructing a machine learning model includes: based on a numerical model, establishing a i ,θ u ,ρ s ,λ s ,C s ,G s ) six parameters as labels of the TRC database. Then, the BP model is used to i ,θu) to perform inversion analysis and establish the following mapping relationship:

[0093]

[0094] Among them, [θ i ,θ u ],TRC=[T f0 ,T f1 ,T f2 …T f60 ],s=[ρ s ,λ s ,C s ].T fi It is the temperature response data of frozen soil within 60s, and the measurement frequency is 1s.

[0095] This embodiment selects the commonly used and classic machine learning algorithm - Back Propagation (BP), and the construction steps are as follows: Figure 3 The constructed model contains 2 hidden layers, each with 100 neurons. The dimension of the input feature ranges from 61 to 127, and the output dimension is 1 or 2. MLPRegressor is used as the feedforward neural network and is wrapped with MultiOutputRegressor. The early stopping method is used to stop training when the performance on the validation set no longer improves to prevent overfitting. Other parameters when constructing the BP model are shown in Table 3.

[0096] Table 3 Other parameters of BP model

[0097]

[0098]

[0099] In this embodiment, in a specific application, a pt100 temperature sensor is used to measure TRC in real time in the field, and the pulse heat source parameters are (Q=15W / m, t=10s). A DC linear power supply and a time control switch are used to ensure the duration and power of the heat pulse. A data acquisition device (DT85) is used to collect data from the temperature sensor. In order to reduce the influence of randomness, three consecutive measurements should be performed, with an interval of more than 12 hours. The average of the three measurement results is taken, and the curve is denoised using a median filter algorithm. The denoised curve is regarded as the final measured TRC.

[0100] Samples of frozen soil in the field are taken and transported to the laboratory to measure other parameters. For dry density, wax sealing method or drying method should be used for measurement.

[0101] The thermal conductivity of soil particles is determined by the following method. The transported soil is made into a sample with a dry density of ρ0 and dried. At this time, the soil body consists of two phases: soil and gas. The thermophysical parameters of the dry soil sample are tested, and the thermophysical parameters of the soil particles can be obtained by inversion:

[0102]
