Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ship vibration control, and in particular to a ship low-frequency active control system and method based on intelligent materials and adaptive algorithms. Background Art

[0002] During navigation, ships are inevitably affected by wave impacts, mechanical operation and other external factors, generating low-frequency vibrations. This vibration not only affects the comfort of the crew, but also has a negative impact on the structural safety of the ship, the operating efficiency of the equipment and its service life. With the development of marine transportation, the number of large ships is increasing, and their low-frequency vibration problem is becoming more and more prominent.

[0003] Traditional low-frequency vibration control of ships mainly relies on passive control technologies, such as shock absorbers and dampers, which have problems such as slow response, low precision, and high energy consumption. They cannot respond to the complex vibration conditions of ships in a timely manner, and the vibration control effect in the low-frequency band is not good. In addition, passive control technology usually consumes a lot of energy, resulting in high energy consumption and increased operating costs of ships. Therefore, how to achieve real-time monitoring and active control of low-frequency vibrations of ships by integrating intelligent materials, sensor networks and adaptive control algorithms, improve response speed and control accuracy, and reduce energy consumption is the problem to be solved by the present invention. To this end, a ship low-frequency active control system and method based on intelligent materials and adaptive algorithms are proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a ship low-frequency active control system and method based on intelligent materials and adaptive algorithms to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

Acceleration sensors, displacement sensors and strain sensors are arranged in key parts of the ship, such as the bottom, deck and key bulkheads. The sensors are fixed to the ship structure by bonding or embedding to ensure close fit with the ship structure to accurately sense vibration. The acceleration sensor uses piezoelectric crystals or micro-electromechanical system technology to convert vibration acceleration into electrical signals. The displacement sensor measures the displacement change of the ship structure through capacitive or inductive principles. The strain sensor senses the strain of the ship structure based on the resistance change of the strain gauge. When the ship generates low-frequency vibration, the sensor can sense and collect the corresponding physical quantities in real time to obtain ship vibration data; Step 2: The collected ship vibration data is transmitted to the adaptive controller module via a wireless communication link, and the ship vibration data is pre-processed by filtering and amplifying to remove noise interference and improve signal quality. The collected ship vibration data is transmitted to the adaptive controller module via a wireless communication link. The wireless transmission method can avoid the complexity and cost brought by wiring, while ensuring the real-time and reliability of data transmission.

Step 3: The adaptive controller module receives the pre-processed ship vibration data, establishes a ship vibration model based on the ship's structural characteristics and historical data, determines the ideal vibration reference model, and calculates the error between the actual vibration state and the reference model, including vibration amplitude error, frequency deviation and phase difference. The adaptive controller module receives the ship vibration data collected by the sensor network module, including acceleration, displacement and strain data, and extracts key features including vibration amplitude, frequency and phase. In combination with the ship's structural characteristics and historical ship vibration data, an adaptive algorithm is used to establish a ship vibration model. The ship vibration model can reflect the vibration characteristics of the ship under different working conditions and determine the ideal ship vibration reference model. The reference model represents the ideal vibration state of the ship in a state of no vibration or extremely low vibration, and is used as a benchmark for the target vibration state. The error between the actual vibration state and the reference model is calculated, including vibration amplitude error, frequency deviation and phase difference. Error calculation is a key link in vibration control. The adjustment direction and amplitude of the control parameters can be determined through error calculation. Step 4: Adopting an adaptive algorithm, based on the calculated error, the control parameters of the smart material layer are adjusted in real time, the magnitude and direction of the control force are optimized, and the actual vibration state gradually approaches the reference model. Adopting an adaptive algorithm based on model reference adaptive control (MRAC) or the least mean square error (LMS) algorithm, the control parameters can be adjusted in real time according to the error signal, so that the actual vibration state of the ship gradually approaches the reference model. Based on the calculated error, the control parameters of the smart material layer are adjusted in real time. By optimizing the control parameters, the magnitude and direction of the control force generated by the smart material layer are adjusted, so that the control force can more effectively offset the low-frequency vibration of the ship. Step 5: The smart material layer generates corresponding control force according to the adjusted control parameters to offset the low-frequency vibration of the ship. At the same time, it continuously receives new ship vibration data, dynamically updates the ship vibration model and control parameters, and continuously actively controls the low-frequency vibration of the ship. The smart material layer generates corresponding control force according to the adjusted control parameters. The generation of control force is based on the internal mechanism of the smart material, including the inverse piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric materials, the shape memory effect of shape memory alloys, and the magnetostrictive effect of magnetostrictive materials. The generated control force acts directly on the ship structure and interacts with the low-frequency vibration of the ship, thereby offsetting the vibration. Through the precise application of control force, the ship structure remains relatively stable during the vibration process, thereby improving the comfort and safety of the ship. While offsetting the vibration, it continuously receives new ship vibration data, dynamically updates the ship vibration model and control parameters, and the dynamic update mechanism enables the system to adapt to the vibration changes of the ship under different working conditions, thereby achieving continuous active control of the low-frequency vibration of the ship.
