Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of wind tunnel testing, and in particular relates to an adaptive multivariate calibration method for a wind tunnel balance. Background Art

[0002] A wind tunnel balance is essentially a multi-dimensional force sensor. Balance calibration involves applying a load to the balance using a ground-based static calibration device, collecting the corresponding voltage output, and fitting a balance calibration matrix that correlates the load and voltage output. This matrix is ​​then used to inversely calculate the forces and moments exerted by the airflow on the model during the wind tunnel test. Conventional force balances typically have six components, measuring three forces and three moments.

[0003] The balance calibration process typically involves first compiling a load table, then applying the load according to the load table, and finally performing curve fitting between the load and the corresponding voltage value to obtain the balance calibration formula matrix. Based on the loading method, balance calibration can be divided into unit calibration and multivariate calibration. When using the unit calibration method, the balance calibration coefficient is generally calculated using the least squares method. When using the multivariate calibration method, after all items in the load group (the number of items is greater than the number of components) have been loaded, a multivariate linear regression calculation is performed. The corresponding balance calibration formula matrix is ​​obtained by analyzing the relationship between the load and the corresponding voltage output value. Furthermore, when a large amount of loading data is required and a large number of iterations are required, a neural network algorithm can also be used.

[0004] Specifically, the balance calibration process typically involves first loading the balance according to the load table, collecting the corresponding voltage values, and then fitting a balance formula based on the load-voltage relationship. The calibration formula for a conventional six-component balance should include 96 coefficients: 1 principal term coefficient, 5 primary interference coefficients, 6 quadratic interference coefficients, 6 cubic interference coefficients, 15 quadratic cross-interference coefficients, 6 primary asymmetric interference coefficients, 51 quadratic asymmetric interference coefficients, and 6 tertiary asymmetric interference coefficients. Currently, asymmetry and cubic interference coefficients are generally not considered in the balance calibration formula matrix, resulting in 27 coefficients for each component. For a conventional six-component balance, a 6×27 matrix is ​​used as the final balance calibration formula matrix. The calibration coefficients are generally calculated using the least squares method. When using the unit calibration method, one coefficient is calculated for each calibration item. After completing the unit and cross-term loading calibration, the coefficients are combined to form the balance calibration formula matrix. When the unit calibration method is used, after completing all items of the load group (the number of items is greater than the number of components), a multiple linear regression calculation is performed to obtain the corresponding balance calibration formula matrix.

[0005] Wind tunnel balance calibration systems can be divided into body-axis wind tunnel balance calibration systems and earth-axis wind tunnel balance calibration systems according to the loaded coordinate axis system. The body-axis wind tunnel balance calibration system has a complex structure and high cost because of the reset mechanism. However, the advantage of the body-axis wind tunnel balance calibration system is that the number of interference items in the balance calibration formula matrix is ​​significantly reduced, the interference value is also significantly reduced, and the balance measurement accuracy is higher. Therefore, the body-axis calibration system is usually used. However, because the body-axis calibration system requires a reset operation every time a step value is loaded when performing unit or multivariate calibration, the overall efficiency is not high. Moreover, the formula can only be fitted after all calibration items are loaded, which is time-consuming and costly.

[0006] Currently, there is an urgent need to develop an adaptive multivariate calibration method for wind tunnel balances targeting the body-axis balance calibration system. Summary of the Invention

[0022] The wind tunnel balance in this embodiment is a six-component rod-type balance. Essentially, it is a six-dimensional force sensor used to measure forces and corresponding moments in three spatial directions. Its measurement principle involves attaching resistive strain gauges to the balance body. The small deformations produced by the balance under load cause resistance changes in the strain gauges, which are then converted into voltage changes via a Wheatstone bridge circuit. Balance calibration involves applying a standard force (torque) to the balance, measuring the corresponding voltage changes, and fitting a load-voltage relationship matrix. In this embodiment, six load components were applied to the balance (see Table 1). Multiple linear regression was then used to calculate the final relationship matrix (see Table 2).
