Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of electrical digital data technology, and specifically to a settlement data analysis and early warning method based on a cloud platform. Background Art
[0002] Settlement data analysis and early warning technologies are crucial for infrastructure safety, especially for structures supporting heavy equipment, such as substation main transformer foundations, whose stability and safety are directly linked to the reliable operation of power systems. Uneven settlement can trigger abnormal stresses within foundations, inducing crack initiation and propagation, and thus threatening the overall load-bearing capacity of the structure. Therefore, developing efficient settlement monitoring and crack identification methods is not only a pressing need for engineering safety but also a key direction for advancing intelligent monitoring technologies. Currently, traditional settlement monitoring relies on single measurement methods, such as levels or conventional sensors, which struggle to comprehensively capture strain changes and crack dynamics within foundations. Even when combined with some structural health monitoring technologies, data processing still primarily relies on offline analysis, lacking real-time and systematic capabilities, making it difficult to accurately predict crack initiation locations and propagation trends. This approach is limited by its inability to effectively integrate multi-source data and its inability to cope with the complex stress distribution changes under long-term heavy loads. The main challenge facing research lies in accurately identifying the initiation and propagation processes of cracks within foundations. Specifically, while arrays of high-precision settlement observation devices can provide abundant displacement data, converting this data into reliable indicators of internal strain remains a technical challenge. Furthermore, when detecting cracks, technologies such as ultrasonic testing and acoustic emission monitoring are limited by signal processing capabilities and environmental interference, making it difficult to accurately determine the direction and speed of crack expansion. These unresolved technical factors lead to significant uncertainty in the assessment of the impact of cracks on the foundation's bearing capacity, creating a difficult problem that urgently needs to be overcome. Therefore, how to integrate real-time data from an array of high-precision electronic settlement observation devices on a cloud platform, calculate the strain distribution of various parts of the foundation, and combine ultrasonic testing and acoustic emission monitoring technologies to accurately identify the initiation location, expansion direction, and speed of cracks within the main transformer foundation, and then assess their impact on the overall bearing capacity, has become a key issue that needs to be addressed in this study.

[0080] like Figure 1-Figure 2As shown, the cloud platform-based settlement data analysis and early warning method described in this application includes the following steps:
[0081] S101. Using a high-precision electronic settlement observation device array, collect settlement data of the main transformer foundation in real time, obtain the real-time deformation distribution status of the foundation, and upload it to the cloud platform;
[0082] S102: Calculate the strain values of various parts of the main transformer foundation based on the real-time deformation distribution state and determine the stress concentration location. Specifically, obtain stress distribution data of the foundation structure and identify local high stress areas through meshing, strain calculation, and stress analysis of the three-dimensional deformation data.
[0083] S103, using ultrasonic testing equipment to detect cracks at stress concentration locations on the main transformer foundation, emitting pulse signals and analyzing reflected wave data to identify the initiation location, depth, and range of the cracks;
[0084] S104, placing an acoustic emission sensor array at the location where the cracks initiation occurs in the main transformer foundation to capture the acoustic wave signals during crack expansion, and determining the time series of the crack expansion direction and speed through signal processing and time series analysis;
[0085] S105. Performing an update calculation based on the time series of crack expansion direction and velocity combined with the strain distribution matrix to analyze the impact of crack expansion on the strain distribution of the main transformer foundation and determine the trend of local strain aggravation;
[0086] S106. Predict the crack initiation location, expansion direction, and speed based on the local strain intensification trend, and calculate the dynamic changes in the overall bearing capacity of the main transformer foundation through a structural mechanics simulation model to provide data support for safety assessment;
[0087] S107. If the dynamic change value of the main transformer foundation bearing capacity is lower than the safety threshold, the settlement observation and acoustic emission monitoring data are integrated through the cloud platform to generate a three-dimensional visualization path of the crack extension and determine the repair priority area, providing a decision-making basis for engineering maintenance;
[0088] S108. Repair the crack depth in the priority area through ultrasonic detection and calculate the adjusted basic health status value of the main transformer. After comparing it with the preset safety threshold, generate a corresponding safety warning signal to provide real-time feedback for project safety management.
[0089] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, in step S101, the settlement data of the main transformer foundation is collected in real time by an array of high-precision electronic settlement observation devices, the real-time deformation distribution state of the foundation is obtained, and uploaded to the cloud platform;
[0090] Furthermore, in step S101, S1011, displacement data in three axes is collected from an array of high-precision electronic sedimentation observation devices through a distributed sensor gateway according to a preset sampling period, and after linear correction is performed on the raw data based on the sensor calibration curve, Kalman filtering technology is used to eliminate random error interference to obtain smooth filtered displacement data;
[0091] Then, the reference coordinate point information is obtained from the pre-calibrated reference pile, and the coordinate transformation matrix is constructed using the least squares method. The three-dimensional spatial coordinates of the filtered displacement data are solved and normalized to generate normalized coordinate data.
[0092] The normalized coordinate data is then uploaded to the cloud platform to provide basic data support for analysis. The sampling period can be set according to actual needs, for example, it can be set to 100Hz to achieve millimeter-level accuracy. The sensor gateway is deployed in a star topology, and each gateway connects multiple sensors to form a collaborative observation network.
[0093] S1012. After obtaining normalized coordinate data, extract stress and strain parameters from preset monitoring points. Calculate the stress and strain distribution of each part of the foundation using an elastic mechanics model to generate deformation stress data. Construct a deformation trend curve based on the deformation stress data. Use a long-short-term memory network to predict the deformation trend over a period of time. Obtain predicted deformation data and construct a foundation deformation distribution map. Obtain the threshold value for each monitoring point from a preset deformation threshold library and compare it with the predicted deformation data. If the threshold value is exceeded, trigger an early warning signal. The early warning signal and predicted deformation data are encrypted and transmitted to the cloud platform database for storage via a data encryption module. Monitoring points can be divided into multiple units. For example, the foundation can be divided into 25 regions, each equipped with stress and strain sensors to cover key load-bearing areas.
[0094] In the embodiment of the present invention, the deployment of an array of high-precision electronic settlement observation devices fully considers the multi-point monitoring requirements of the main transformer foundation. The distributed sensor gateway connects 6 sensors via a star topology, and the calibration curve uses a piecewise linear fitting method to ensure that the error is less than 0.01mm within the 0-50mm range. The Kalman filter effectively removes Gaussian white noise through the prediction and update stages, and the smoothness of the filtered data is significantly improved. The reference coordinate points are selected from the four corners and the center of the foundation, and are fixed with reinforced concrete piles with a depth of 15 meters to ensure that the coordinate system conversion accuracy is better than 0.1mm.
[0095] For stress-strain analysis, the elastic mechanics model comprehensively considers the foundation's bearing capacity and load distribution to generate stress field distribution data. Deformation trend curves calculate displacement, velocity, and acceleration characteristics over a 48-hour sliding window. The long-short-term memory network utilizes a three-layer structure with 128 hidden neurons, predicting deformation trends over the next 24 hours with an error of less than 0.5mm. The deformation threshold library sets a 5mm threshold for load-bearing areas and an 8mm threshold for non-load-bearing areas. Data transmission utilizes a 2048-bit asymmetric encryption algorithm to ensure security.
[0096] In practical applications, such as monitoring the foundation of a main transformer at a 380kV substation, the system detected a cumulative settlement of 4.2mm at the northwest corner over 48 hours, with a settlement rate of 0.175mm / hour. The predicted settlement after 48 hours would be close to 7.8mm. The cloud platform issued a timely warning signal, and after engineers implemented reinforcement measures, the settlement rate dropped to below 0.02mm / hour, validating the effectiveness of the method.
[0097] It is understood that the embodiments of the present invention do not impose specific limitations on the sampling frequency, number of sensors, or network structure. These parameters can be adjusted by technical personnel based on actual scenarios to accommodate different monitoring needs. Subsequent steps will further analyze strain and crack states based on this real-time deformation data. The specific implementation methods will be detailed in the following embodiments.
[0098] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, in step S102, the strain values of various parts of the main transformer foundation are calculated according to the real-time deformation distribution state and the stress concentration location is determined. Specifically, the stress distribution data of the foundation structure is obtained and the local high stress area is identified through meshing, strain calculation and stress analysis of the three-dimensional deformation data.
[0099] Further, in step S102, S1021, the three-dimensional deformation data of the main transformer foundation is extracted from the deformation monitoring database stored in the cloud platform, the foundation structure is divided into hexahedral grid units using an adaptive mesher and grid node coordinate data is generated, and then the elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio parameters of the concrete are read from a pre-built material property library, and the initial strain value of each grid node is calculated using Hooke's law and compared with a preset baseline strain threshold to determine whether there is an abnormal strain area;
[0100] For abnormal strain areas, the finite element analysis method is used to calculate the strain energy density, and the energy equation is numerically integrated using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method to generate cloud map data reflecting the strain distribution. When dividing the mesh, the foundation as a whole adopts an orthogonal grid with a side length of 200mm, while the key parts such as supports and edges are encrypted to a side length of 100mm to improve the calculation resolution of the stress concentration area. Strain energy density is the core indicator for measuring the deformation capacity of materials. Its calculation process takes into account the accumulation of elastic potential energy of concrete under loading. The typical value range is 0.1 to 0.5kJ / m 3 The integration step is set to 0.01s to ensure accuracy.
[0101] S1022. Based on the generated strain distribution cloud map data, the strain gradient of each grid node is calculated using the Gaussian integral method and the gradient change rate is extracted. The principal strain value and its direction are solved using the principal strain calculation formula combined with the three-dimensional characteristic equation. The principal stress distribution is then calculated using the stress-strain conversion relationship in elastic mechanics to generate stress distribution data for the foundation structure.
[0102] Subsequently, the maximum shear stress surface and its angle with the horizontal plane were analyzed using the Mohr circle criterion, and the stress intensity value of each node was evaluated in combination with the stress intensity calculation formula. If the stress intensity of a node exceeds twice the average value, it is determined to be a stress concentration area and its coordinate position is recorded. A stiffness matrix correction is introduced into the principal strain calculation to reflect the anisotropic properties of concrete in different directions, and the stress distribution data is derived using the generalized Hooke's law to ensure that the results are consistent with the actual stress state.
[0103] In this embodiment of the present invention, the acquisition frequency of 3D deformation data is set to 10 Hz, enabling real-time recording of minute displacement changes on the foundation surface. The concrete parameters stored in the material property library include an elastic modulus of 30 GPa, a Poisson's ratio of 0.2, and a compressive strength of 30 MPa. These parameters are applicable to stabilized concrete older than 90 days, and strain calculations are performed based on a linear elastic constitutive model. A baseline strain threshold of 200 microstrains serves as a reference for abnormality determination.
[0104] The strain distribution cloud map is displayed in the form of colored contour lines, graded in 100-microstrain increments from 0 to 1000 microstrain, making it easy to intuitively identify high-strain areas. The fourth-order Runge-Kutta method improves calculation stability through multiple iterations in numerical integration, and the error is controlled within 0.1%. When calculating the principal stress distribution, special attention is paid to the area below the load application point, as it is often the starting point of stress concentration. A measured case shows that the maximum principal strain value of the main transformer foundation of a 500kV substation is approximately 400 microstrain, located directly below the support, with an accompanying stress intensity of 12MPa, close to 40% of the design strength.
[0105] Based on the stress distribution data, S1023 further analyzes the characteristics of stress concentration areas. Using the stress intensity ratio method, it determines the distribution of local high stress points and annotates them in the basic 3D model. For example, within a 300mm radius around the transformer support, an elliptical stress concentration area is identified, with the maximum shear stress plane pointing toward the edge at a 45-degree angle to the horizontal. These coordinates provide a precise spatial reference for predicting crack initiation locations. Identifying stress concentration areas also helps optimize the placement of monitoring points. The stress intensity calculation formula comprehensively considers the combined effects of principal and shear stresses, ensuring the reliability of the results.
[0106] In an embodiment of the present invention, the use of an adaptive mesher improves computational efficiency. Its meshing scheme dynamically adjusts based on the spatial distribution of deformation data, avoiding the inaccuracy of traditional uniform meshes in high-strain regions. The application of the Mohr circle criterion provides theoretical support for directional analysis of shear stress surfaces, making the determination of stress concentration areas more scientific. During actual monitoring, the coordinate data of stress concentration locations can be directly imported into the cloud platform's 3D visualization module, enabling engineers to quickly locate and implement targeted measures.
[0107] It is understood that this invention does not impose any specific restrictions on the grid size, calculation step size, or material parameter values. These can be adjusted by technical personnel based on actual engineering needs to accommodate different infrastructure analysis scenarios. Subsequent steps will involve crack detection and propagation analysis based on these stress concentration locations.
[0108] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, in step S103, crack detection is performed on the stress concentration position of the main transformer foundation by ultrasonic detection equipment, pulse signals are emitted and reflected wave data are analyzed to identify the initiation position, depth and range of the cracks.
[0109] Furthermore, in step S103, in an embodiment of the present invention, an array ultrasonic probe is used to generate a longitudinal wave pulse signal with a frequency of 2 MHz to 5 MHz for the coordinate data of the stress concentration position, and the transmission waveform parameters are set by the probe vibrator controller and the acoustic impedance matching is performed in combination with the acoustic characteristics of concrete to generate an optimized transmission wave signal; then an ultrasonic receiver is used to collect the reflected wave data, the noise is removed by a bandpass filter, and the envelope characteristics are extracted by Hilbert transform, and then the spatial distribution characteristics of the cracks are obtained by combining attenuation compensation and time-frequency analysis. The array probe uses 8 probes arranged linearly with a spacing of 25 mm and a coverage length of 200 mm. The transmission frequency is preferably 3 MHz to adapt to the wavelength of 1.2 mm in concrete, and the sound wave propagation speed is 3600 m / s. The acoustic impedance matching is optimized by coupling agent, and the acoustic impedance of concrete is 8×10 6 kg / m 2 s, the acoustic impedance of the coupling agent is 4×10 6 kg / m2 s, ensuring efficient energy transfer.
[0110] S1031. After the transmission wave signal is generated, a Gaussian modulated pulse is used with a pulse width of 1 μs and a repetition frequency of 1 kHz. The reflected wave signal is captured by an ultrasonic receiver and a bandpass filter with a frequency range of 2.5 MHz to 3.5 MHz is used to filter out low-frequency aggregate scattering noise and high-frequency electromagnetic interference. The attenuation band rejection ratio is greater than 40 dB. The filtered reflected wave signal is then subjected to a Hilbert transform to extract time-domain envelope feature data to highlight the echo peak distribution. The correlation between peak amplitude and crack size provides a basis for subsequent analysis. Based on the envelope feature data, an attenuation compensation coefficient, such as 0.8 dB / cm, is read from the acoustic wave compensation database. Exponential attenuation compensation is applied to the reflected wave signal to enhance deep signal strength. For example, the amplitude at a depth of 80 cm can be increased by 12 dB, thereby enhancing the detection sensitivity of deep cracks. The Hilbert transform decomposes the signal into amplitude and phase components, making the time-domain characteristics of the crack reflection wave more prominent, facilitating subsequent feature extraction.
[0111] S1032. After obtaining the compensated reflected wave signal, discrete wavelet transform (DWT) was used to extract time-frequency features. A five-layer multiscale decomposition was performed using the db4 wavelet basis function to generate a time-frequency spectrum of the reflected wave. The dominant frequency component was concentrated between 2.8MHz and 3.2MHz, with a spectrum broadened by approximately 0.4MHz. Based on the time-frequency spectrum, standard crack feature vectors were extracted from the defect feature database, covering sample data of varying depths and inclinations. A random forest identifier was used to calculate feature matching. The training sample consisted of 1,000 data sets, with 15 feature dimensions, including time-domain waveforms, spectra, and statistical parameters. The resulting crack type identification results were then output. The waveform peak time difference method was used to calculate crack depth, with a travel time resolution of 0.1μs and a depth accuracy better than 2mm. Phase spectrum analysis was used to determine the crack propagation direction, with a phase sensitivity of 0.5° / degree. This generated characteristic data for the spatial distribution of cracks. The multiscale decomposition of the wavelet transform can separate noise from valid signals. The time-frequency spectrum intuitively reflects the frequency distribution characteristics of the crack reflection wave. The random forest algorithm improves recognition robustness through multi-decision tree voting.
[0112] In this embodiment of the present invention, ultrasonic testing is implemented to address the inaccuracy of traditional methods in identifying deep cracks. Acoustic impedance matching improves detection sensitivity by reducing acoustic wave reflection losses, while a bandpass filter effectively isolates complex interference within the concrete medium. The application of attenuation compensation restores deep reflection wave signals, ensuring the ability to detect penetrating cracks.
[0113] During an actual inspection of the main transformer foundation of a 500kV substation, a through-crack was discovered with an initiation depth of 15cm, a 35-degree inclination, and an extension length of 45cm. The reflected wave amplitude was 6dB higher than that of the intact area, the spectrum was widened by 0.6MHz, and the phase difference varied by more than 15 degrees. Using the time difference method and phase analysis, the crack location and trend were accurately demarcated, providing critical data support for reinforcement measures. The crack feature extraction and matching process fully demonstrated the accuracy of the method, and the detection results can be directly used for subsequent analysis on the cloud platform.
[0114] It is understood that the present invention does not impose any specific restrictions on the number of probes, frequency range, or filter parameters, which can be adjusted by technicians based on the actual characteristics of concrete. For example, if the object being tested is high-density concrete, the transmission frequency can be appropriately increased to shorten the wavelength and improve resolution.
[0115] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, in step S104, an acoustic emission sensor array is arranged at the crack initiation location of the main transformer foundation to capture the acoustic wave signal when the crack is expanding, and the time series of the crack expansion direction and speed is determined through signal processing and time series analysis.
[0116] Furthermore, in step S104, in an embodiment of the present invention, an acoustic emission sensor array is arranged in a hexagonal topology according to the crack initiation location. The central sensor is placed directly above the crack initiation point, and the surrounding six sensors are distributed in a regular hexagon with a spacing of 300 mm. The sampling frequency is set to 1 MHz and the trigger voltage is set to 50 mV by the sensor matrix controller. Standard waveform parameters are obtained from the acoustic emission calibration database for sensitivity calibration to generate calibrated acquisition parameters. The acoustic emission signal is collected using a data collector, and the 100 kHz to 300 kHz frequency band signal is filtered by a bandpass filter. The ambient noise is removed by an adaptive threshold filter with the threshold set to 2.5 times the root mean square value of the background noise to obtain clear acoustic wave event data. The dynamic adjustment of the adaptive threshold can optimize the filtering effect in real time according to the on-site noise level to ensure signal quality. The hexagonal topology improves the coverage and accuracy of sound source localization through multi-point collaborative monitoring.
[0117] S1041. For the collected acoustic event data, Fourier transforms were used to calculate spectral features, extracting the main frequency band signal from 150kHz to 250kHz. This was then decomposed into an 8-level time-frequency spectrum using the db4 wavelet basis function, clearly demonstrating the frequency distribution and temporal variations of the acoustic emission events. A triangulation algorithm was then used to calculate the sound source location based on the time difference of arrival of the sound waves, achieving a positioning accuracy of better than 5mm and an angular resolution of 2 degrees. Crack propagation trajectory data was generated by arranging the source coordinates in time series. A deep recurrent neural network was further used to construct a time series prediction model. The network consists of three layers, with 128 time series nodes in the input layer and 256 neurons in the hidden layer. An acoustic emission energy density calculator was used to analyze the crack propagation rate, using a 10ms window width and a 2ms sliding step size, and outputting crack propagation state parameters. The triangulation algorithm restores the spatial location of the acoustic source by analyzing the time difference between multiple sensors, while the deep recurrent neural network predicts future propagation trends by learning from historical data, enhancing the predictive power of the analysis.
[0118] S1042. After acquiring crack propagation trajectory data, the Hilbert transform is used to extract the envelope curve of the acoustic signal to reflect the energy release process. The time difference series between adjacent sensors is calculated using the cross-correlation function. The sound source coordinates are calculated and the propagation displacement vector is determined by combining the sensor coordinate library. The propagation direction is calculated based on the azimuth of the displacement vector, and the propagation rate is calculated by the ratio of the displacement to the time interval. A velocity prediction model is constructed using a support vector regression predictor. The kernel function uses the radial basis function, the parameter γ is 0.1, the penalty factor C is 100, and the training sample is the most recent 100 event data. Continuous propagation velocity prediction results are generated. The velocity data is smoothed using a Kalman filter with a process noise covariance of 0.01 and a measurement noise covariance of 0.1. The propagation direction is calculated using vector synthesis, and a crack propagation time series containing coordinates, velocity, and direction is generated. Support vector regression optimizes the accuracy of velocity prediction through nonlinear mapping, while the Kalman filter effectively eliminates random fluctuations in the data, ensuring the smoothness and reliability of the time series.
[0119] In an embodiment of the present invention, the acquisition bandwidth of the acoustic emission signal is set to 100kHz to 400kHz, the pre-amplification factor is 40dB, and the single-channel cache depth is 32MB to meet the real-time storage requirements of high-frequency signals. Measured data show that the amplitude of the acoustic emission signal during crack expansion fluctuates between 100mV and 500mV, the main frequency is concentrated around 150kHz, the spectrum is widened by about 50kHz, and the duration is 0.5ms to 2ms. Monitoring of the main transformer foundation of a 500kV substation showed that the crack expanded at an angle of 45 degrees under lateral load. 458 acoustic emission events were recorded within 24 hours, of which 80% were in the rapid expansion stage, and the event density within 50mm of the crack initiation point reached 12 / cm. 2The maximum expansion speed is 2mm / s, the average rate is about 0.5mm / s, and the total length is 45mm.
[0120] It is understood that this invention does not impose strict limits on the specific values of sensor spacing, sampling frequency, or filtering parameters. These can be adjusted based on the scale of the crack and the monitoring environment. For example, in high-noise environments, the threshold multiplier can be appropriately increased to enhance interference resistance. Subsequent steps will further evaluate the impact of the cracks on the foundation based on this time series.
[0121] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, in step S105, the time series of crack extension direction and speed is combined with the strain distribution matrix to perform update calculations, analyze the impact of crack extension on the strain distribution of the main transformer foundation, and determine the local strain aggravation trend.
[0122] Furthermore, in step S105, in an embodiment of the present invention, measured strain values are extracted from the strain monitoring database and updated using a strain redistribution calculator. The acquisition frequency is set to 10 Hz, and strain data is acquired using fiber Bragg grating sensors with a measurement range of ±5000 microstrain and a resolution of 1 microstrain. The foundation is divided into 200 100 mm × 100 mm monitoring units to record strain changes in real time. Strain differences are calculated based on the crack propagation time series to determine the boundaries of the affected area and generate a real-time strain distribution matrix. Subsequently, a tensor mapping method is used to calculate the strain change around the crack propagation trajectory. Nine-node quadrilateral elements are used for spatial discretization, and the strain field is reconstructed using a bilinear interpolation function. Combined with the finite element calculator results, radial basis function interpolation is used to establish the strain distribution update data. The interpolation radius is set to 100 mm, and the weight decays exponentially with distance. A strain influence tensor is generated. Tensor mapping transforms the local effects of crack propagation into global strain field changes through discretization, ensuring the spatial continuity of the calculation results.
[0123] S1051. A recurrent neural network (RNN) was used to construct a strain transfer function for the strain influence tensor to quantify the effect of crack propagation on the strain field. The network consisted of 128 time series nodes, with long short-term memory units (LSTMs) used in the hidden layer. Input features included crack propagation velocity, azimuth, and strain increment. The training data consisted of 1,000 sets of 60-second strain field evolution sequences. Strain coupling calculations were used to determine the strain influence coefficients at each monitoring point and generate a strain transfer matrix. The strain time series of high-stress areas were then extracted from the strain transfer matrix. The strain rate of change was calculated using a 10-second sliding window and a 1-second step size. A wavelet transform was used to identify breakpoints, where the wavelet coefficient amplitude increased. Local strain gradients were calculated using a central difference scheme with a 50-mm grid spacing. The extent of strain exacerbation regions was determined and strain concentration trend data were generated. By capturing temporal dependencies, the RNN effectively simulated the dynamic process of strain transfer, while the wavelet transform enhanced the sensitivity of breakpoint detection.
[0124] In the embodiments of the present invention, the impact of crack expansion on the foundation strain distribution exhibits significant spatial heterogeneity. Measured data show that the strain gradient within 50 mm in front of the crack tip rises sharply, with the maximum strain value increasing from 300 microstrain to 800 microstrain, with an exponential increase, reflecting the amplification effect of crack expansion on the local stress field. Monitoring of the main transformer foundation of a 500 kV substation showed that crack expansion caused significant changes in the strain field within 80 mm. The influence coefficient decayed from the center of the crack outward, dropping to 20% of the initial value at the boundary. For every 0.1 mm / s increase in expansion speed, the affected area expanded by approximately 5 mm.
[0125] S1052. In strain concentration trend analysis, the strain rate in high-stress areas rapidly increased from an initial 5 microstrain / s to 20 microstrain / s. The strain-intensified region exhibited an elliptical distribution, with the major axis aligned with the crack propagation direction and the minor axis perpendicular to it. Within 24 hours, the area expanded 2.5 times, with a maximum strain gradient reaching 15 microstrain / mm, most pronounced at the crack intersection. Strain transfer matrix analysis revealed a positive correlation between crack propagation velocity and the strain transfer coefficient. This correlation provides data support for predicting local strain intensification. The generation of strain concentration trend data also helps identify potential high-risk areas. Strain gradient calculations quantify the spatial rate of strain change through a differential method, providing a precise basis for dynamically tracking the crack's impact range.
[0126] It is understood that this invention does not impose strict restrictions on the specific settings of monitoring unit division, interpolation radius, or network parameters. These can be flexibly adjusted based on the foundation scale and crack characteristics. For example, in complex stress areas, the monitoring unit density can be increased to improve resolution. Subsequent steps will further evaluate the foundation's bearing capacity based on this strain trend data.
[0127] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, in step S106, the initiation location, expansion direction and speed of the crack are predicted according to the local strain aggravation trend, and the dynamic change of the overall bearing capacity of the main transformer foundation is calculated through the structural mechanics simulation model to provide data support for safety assessment.
[0128] Furthermore, in step S106, in an embodiment of the present invention, a five-point difference format is used to calculate the strain gradient field distribution using local strain exacerbation trend data. The grid spacing is set to 50 mm, and is increased to 25 mm in high-strain areas to improve resolution. The strain growth rate curve is extracted from the strain gradient field, and the strain mutation location data is obtained by identifying the curve mutation point. The strain rate at the mutation point can jump from 15 microstrain / s to 35 microstrain / s within 0.1 s. The least squares method is used to fit the mutation location data. The contour line spacing is 0.5 mm, and the spacing is reduced to 0.1 mm in the crack initiation area. The crack initiation location is determined by the area with a curvature radius less than 100 mm. The expansion trend angle is calculated in combination with the principal strain direction to generate the crack space parameters. The five-point difference format improves the accuracy of gradient calculation through multi-point numerical approximation, while the contour line curvature analysis intuitively reflects the local anomalies of the strain field, providing a reliable basis for crack location.
[0129] S1061. Based on the spatial parameters of cracks, a deep neural network was used to predict the crack propagation path and velocity. The network consists of three layers: the input layer integrates 15 features, including strain, stress, and displacement fields; the hidden layer is configured with 256 neurons; and the output layer generates propagation path and velocity predictions. The propagation velocity was calculated from the strain growth curve, and the path and velocity were combined through spatiotemporal mapping to generate crack propagation prediction data. The prediction showed that the initial propagation direction was approximately 45 degrees from the maximum principal stress, and the velocity could reach 0.8 mm / s. Concrete material parameters were then read from a basic parameter library, including an elastic modulus of 30 GPa, a Poisson's ratio of 0.2, a compressive strength of 30 MPa, and a tensile strength of 2.5 MPa. The stiffness degradation was calculated using an elastic-plastic damage function. The damage factor was increased from 0 to 0.35, and the degradation region was fan-shaped with a 60-degree vertex angle and an impact range of twice the crack length. The deep neural network optimized the path prediction accuracy through multidimensional feature learning, while the elastic-plastic damage function quantified the weakening effect of the crack on the material stiffness.
[0130] S1062. After obtaining crack propagation prediction data, a stress redistribution algorithm was used to calculate the stress distribution of the foundation structure. The principal stress directions were extracted from the stress distribution cloud map, and the ratio of principal stress to allowable stress was calculated to assess the load-bearing capacity. This generated data on the change in bearing capacity after stiffness damage. A multi-point regression algorithm was used to fit the bearing capacity evolution curve. 50 characteristic points on the foundation surface were selected for calculation. The bearing values at critical moments were extracted, and the overall bearing capacity was determined using the bearing ratio. The foundation was divided into 25 calculation units, and the dynamic change in bearing capacity was assessed using the segmented accumulation method. The stress redistribution algorithm simulated the stress transfer process caused by cracks through iterative calculations, while the multi-point regression algorithm captured the nonlinear downward trend of bearing capacity through curve fitting.
[0131] In an embodiment of the present invention, monitoring of the foundation of a main transformer in a 500kV substation revealed that crack expansion significantly increased stress within a 50mm area, shifting the principal stress direction by 25 degrees and forming a new stress concentration zone. The load-bearing capacity decreased in a stepwise manner, decreasing by approximately 2% for every 15mm of expansion, totaling 12% over 24 hours, with 80% of the decrease occurring during the rapid expansion phase. The maximum drop in the load-bearing capacity of a local unit reached 35%, while the drop in adjacent units ranged from 15% to 25%. Ultimately, the bending capacity decreased by 18%, and the shear capacity decreased by 22%.
[0132] It is understood that this invention does not impose fixed restrictions on the grid spacing, number of neural network layers, or specific values of material parameters. These can be adjusted based on actual project needs. For example, in areas with dense cracks, the grid can be further refined to improve calculation accuracy. Subsequent steps will generate early warning signals based on this bearing capacity data.
[0133] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, in step S107, if the dynamic change value of the main transformer foundation bearing capacity is lower than the safety threshold, the settlement observation and acoustic emission monitoring data are integrated through the cloud platform to generate a three-dimensional visualization path of crack expansion and determine the repair priority area, providing a decision-making basis for engineering maintenance.
[0134] Furthermore, in step S107, in an embodiment of the present invention, a structural bearing capacity safety threshold is extracted from the safety monitoring database. This threshold is typically set at 80% of the design bearing capacity. For example, for a 500kV substation foundation with a design bearing capacity of 24MPa, the safety threshold is 19.2MPa. When the measured value drops to 17.8MPa, an early warning is triggered. For situations where the value falls below the threshold, settlement displacement data and acoustic emission data are acquired from the online monitoring platform. The settlement monitoring frequency is 10Hz, and the acoustic emission monitoring frequency is 1MHz. Time alignment is performed using a timing matching algorithm with a 1s sliding window and a 0.1s step size, achieving an alignment accuracy of better than 0.1ms. The least squares method is then used to perform spatial coordinate transformation, establishing a mapping relationship between settlement monitoring points and acoustic emission sources with a registration accuracy of 2mm, and generating calibrated coordinate data. Timing matching ensures the synchronization of multi-source data, while coordinate transformation achieves precise spatial position correspondence through matrix calculation.
[0135] S1071. Based on the calibrated coordinate data, a deep convolutional neural network was used to extract spatial features of the crack. The network was designed as a five-layer structure. The input features included displacement fields, strain fields, and acoustic emission signal features, and the output was a three-dimensional feature vector of the crack. Deformation trends were calculated from the surface displacement data, revealing a maximum settlement of 12 mm. The settlement basin was elliptical, with the major axis aligned with the fracture direction. A crack propagation mapping function was constructed by combining these features, linking surface deformation with internal cracks. The mapping accuracy reached 85%, generating spatial data for crack propagation. A three-dimensional mesher was then used to construct a crack propagation reference plane using 50 mm hexahedral elements. This was then refined to 25 mm within the fractured area. Depth-layered data was extracted from the reference plane. Point cloud fitting was performed using an iterative closest point algorithm combined with a KD tree accelerated search. After 50 iterations and a convergence threshold of 0.1 mm, a 3D crack propagation contour was generated, showing a depth of 180 mm, a width of 0.8 mm, and a 45-degree diagonal extension. The deep convolutional neural network extracted the spatial pattern of the crack through multiple layers of convolution and pooling, while the iterative closest point algorithm optimized the efficiency and accuracy of the point cloud fitting.
[0136] S1072. After generating a three-dimensional crack expansion profile, a bearing capacity loss calculator was used to construct a regional damage distribution map. Damage levels were indicated using red, yellow, and blue colors: greater than 0.6 (red), 0.3 to 0.6 (yellow), and less than 0.3 (blue). The hazard level was ranked using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), taking into account crack depth, width, and expansion rate, with weights of 0.5, 0.3, and 0.2, respectively. Three hazardous areas were identified, with the area below the load-bearing support having a hazard level of 0.82. A comprehensive scoring method was then used for prioritization, combining damage severity, location importance, and expansion trend. Repair urgency was calculated based on the damage growth rate, with growth rates exceeding 5% considered urgent. The foundation was divided into 25 zones using a repair level matrix. Repair priority data was generated based on damage severity, location coefficient, and load factor. Four areas surrounding the support, with a damage level of 0.75, a daily growth rate exceeding 8%, and a load factor of 1.5, were classified as Level 1 repair areas. The AHP method improved the scientific nature of the ranking by using quantitative indicators, while the repair level matrix provided a systematic assessment framework for zone division.
[0137] In the embodiment of the present invention, the data fusion and visualization capabilities of the cloud platform significantly improve the intuitiveness of the crack expansion path and the pertinence of the repair decision. The monitoring data shows the high risk of the load-bearing area, providing a key basis for timely intervention.
[0138] It is understood that this invention does not impose strict restrictions on grid size, number of neural network layers, or weight distribution. These can be adjusted based on actual monitoring needs. For example, in high-risk areas, the grid can be further refined or input features can be added to improve accuracy. Subsequent steps will involve verification and early warning based on the repair priority data.
[0139] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, in step S108, the crack depth in the repair priority area is detected by ultrasonic detection and the adjusted basic health status value of the main transformer is calculated. After comparison with the preset safety threshold, a corresponding safety warning signal is generated to provide real-time feedback for project safety management.
[0140] Furthermore, in step S108, in an embodiment of the present invention, an 8-channel ultrasonic detection array is used to emit Gaussian modulated pulse detection waves at the coordinate location of the repair priority area, with a center frequency of 3MHz, a pulse width of 1μs, a probe spacing of 25mm, and a coverage length of 200mm. Frequency and amplitude parameters are extracted from a standard waveform library, and the signal is enhanced by a 40dB preamplifier. A bandpass filter is used to filter the 2.5MHz to 3.5MHz frequency range to remove concrete aggregate scattering noise. The filtered signal is Hilbert transformed to generate an envelope curve that clearly reflects the echo amplitude distribution. A peak recognition algorithm is used to extract the peak position of the reflected wave with a threshold of 3 times the noise root mean square value. The crack depth is calculated through time difference analysis. The actual depth is quantified by combining the sound wave propagation velocity of 3600m / s and the attenuation coefficient of 0.8dB / cm to generate crack depth distribution data. The measurement error is controlled within 5mm, and the time difference accuracy is better than 0.1μs. Ultrasonic detection ensures the reliability of deep crack detection by combining high-frequency pulses with precise filtering.
[0141] S1081. Based on crack depth distribution data, an elastic-plastic mechanics calculator was used to construct a stress redistribution function. Concrete elastic modulus (30 GPa), compressive strength (30 MPa), and tensile strength (2.5 MPa) were extracted from the material parameter library. Taking into account the nonlinear properties of the material, the structural bearing capacity was calculated using the stress equilibrium equation, generating foundation bearing state data. The calculations showed a 35% increase in stress within a 50 mm radius around the crack, with a corresponding decrease in local bearing capacity. A deep feedback neural network was then used to establish a state assessment function. The input features included 15 items, including displacement, strain, and crack parameters. Long short-term memory units were used in the hidden layer to capture temporal dependencies. Features were fused using a weighted average method, and weights were optimized using a backpropagation algorithm. The output was a basic health index. In one monitoring case, the health index decreased from 0.95 to 0.68. The elastic-plastic calculation quantified the weakening effect of cracks on bearing capacity, while the neural network enhanced the comprehensiveness of the state assessment through multidimensional feature analysis.
[0142] S1082. After obtaining the basic health index, a fuzzy evaluation matrix was used to categorize warning levels. Based on Monte Carlo simulation, a safety threshold of 0.75, a yellow warning threshold of 0.65, an orange warning threshold of 0.55, and a red warning threshold of 0.45 were set. If the index falls below 0.75, a warning is triggered. For example, a yellow warning is generated at an index of 0.68. A warning information generator extracts acoustic and optical parameters from a signal feature library. Yellow warnings are issued once an hour, with a sound frequency of 500Hz to 2kHz and a low LED flashing frequency. Orange warnings are issued every 30 minutes, and red warnings are issued more frequently, every 10 minutes. Basic safety warning data with level identification is generated. During continuous monitoring, 32 warnings were recorded: 25 yellow, 5 orange, and 2 red, with an accuracy rate of 95%. Fuzzy evaluation optimizes threshold setting through probability distribution, and the graded warning mechanism ensures timely and differentiated responses.
[0143] In an embodiment of the present invention, the foundation is divided into 25 calculation units for load-bearing status assessment. The health index of the crack area decreases significantly. The generation of early warning signals effectively indicates the repair effect and potential risks, providing an intuitive basis for subsequent maintenance.
[0144] It is understandable that the present invention does not impose fixed restrictions on the number of probes, filtering frequency bands or warning frequencies, and can be adjusted according to the characteristics of the repair area. For example, in a high-noise environment, the filtering range can be appropriately widened to improve signal quality.
