Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of beam structure damage health monitoring, and particularly relates to a beam structure hierarchical damage identification method and system based on an additional mass block and a genetic algorithm. BACKGROUND

[0002] Damage identification of a structure involves two core tasks: determination of damage location and quantification of damage degree. In a structure health monitoring system, the process is usually divided into three stages: data acquisition, damage location, and health assessment. Data acquisition obtains the vibration response signal of the structure through a sensor system and performs preprocessing; damage location identifies abnormal areas based on extracted feature indicators (such as modal parameters, frequency changes, etc.); health assessment quantifies the damage degree and evaluates the safety state of the structure by combining optimization algorithms (such as genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimization algorithm), providing a basis for maintenance decision-making.

[0003] Damage identification of a structure is a key field of engineering safety evaluation. Early research explored its feasibility through different methods. For example, Shen and Taylor proposed an optimization strategy based on the least squares method for damage detection of a simply supported beam, but this method has limitations in global damage analysis. To improve the identification accuracy, Guo Huizhong's team combined the structure frequency and strain energy data, introduced the Bayesian fusion theory, and realized the preliminary positioning of the damage area, but further optimization is needed to determine the damage degree.

[0004] On the basis of theory, some researchers have creatively applied modal strain energy to structural damage analysis, revealing damage characteristics through dynamic changes in modal parameters. Zhang Qing et al. found that the modal strain energy of a unit under a small damage is related to the damage degree in a regular manner, laying a foundation for quantitative analysis. Liu Hui's team introduced a material damage variable, quantified the strain energy dissipation rate, and proposed an expression containing a damage factor, promoting the integration of damage positioning and quantitative analysis.

[0005] In recent years, intelligent algorithms have been gradually applied in this field. For example, Miao Bingrong et al. used a particle swarm optimization algorithm to perform fine analysis of the damage area, but the initial stage needs to handle a large range of suspected areas, resulting in limited computational efficiency. However, existing methods using unit modal strain energy for damage identification are not accurate in positioning, and the damage quantification analysis has a large amount of calculation, facing challenges in balancing accuracy and computational cost.

[0061] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0062] Example 1

[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, the beam structure graded damage identification method based on additional mass blocks and genetic algorithms of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0064] Step S1: Collect the fifth-order mode shape data of the damaged beam structure. Specifically, this includes: setting up sensors on the upper part of the beam structure to collect the fifth-order mode shape data of the damaged beam structure.

[0065] Step S2: Using Ansys finite element analysis software, establish a finite element model of the undamaged beam structure and perform modal analysis on the undamaged beam structure. Specifically, this includes: based on the initial design drawings of the beam structure, using finite element analysis software, inputting the material properties, Poisson's ratio, and density of the structure, establishing a finite element damage model, numbering the element nodes of the beam structure, setting boundary conditions, performing modal analysis, and extracting the initial element stiffness matrix and modal displacement column vector of the structure.

[0066] Step S3: Calculate the element modal strain energy of the beam structure before and after damage using the formula.

[0067] Specifically, the element modal strain energy of the beam structure before and after damage is calculated using the following formulas:

[0068]

[0069] Among them, MSE ij The modal strain energy of the unit before damage. For the element modal strain energy after damage, [K j [ ] represents the element stiffness matrix of the j-th element. Let i be the column vector of the i-th modal displacements of the j-th element before damage. for transpose, Let i be the column vector of the i-th modal displacements of the j-th element after damage. for The transpose of .

[0070] Step S4: Calculate the average element modal strain energy change rate of the first five orders of the damaged structure using the formula. Determine the initial location of the damage based on the average element modal strain energy change rate to obtain the preliminary damage area, denoted as: M1, M2, ..., Mn.

[0071] Specifically, the method comprises the following steps:

[0072] In step S401, the average unit modal strain energy rate of change of the first five orders is calculated by using the following formula:

[0073]

[0074] wherein, is the average unit modal strain energy rate of change of the first m orders;

[0075] In step S402, a column chart is established according to the average unit modal strain energy rate of change of each unit, a preliminary damage area is determined by a threshold value, and the preliminary damage area is recorded as M1, M2,..., Mn, wherein the threshold value can be set to 20%.

[0076] In step S5, if the one-time positioning result of step S4 is a single clear damage position, the damage positioning is completed.

[0077] Based on the embodiment 1, the method further comprises the following steps:

[0078] In step S6, if the one-time positioning result of step S4 is a suspected damage area, an additional mass block is applied to the beam structure to perform secondary positioning of the damage position, wherein the application position of the additional mass block is the middle position of each of the preliminary damage areas M1, M2,..., Mn; the key of step S6 is to determine the application position and the size of the applied mass:

[0079] In step S601, the application position: by applying a mass block to the simply supported beam structure, formula derivation is performed to study the influence of the position and size of the applied mass block on the modal shape of the structure, as shown in the following formula: Figure 2

[0080] For this structure, the Rayleigh quotient is:

[0081]

[0082] wherein, l is the length of the component; ω i is the natural frequency under the i-th mode, φ i (x) is the modal displacement; φ i ″(x) is the curvature modal;

[0083] When the local mass at a position x j of the beam structure is changed, if the stiffness change is ignored (i.e., δm(x)≠0, δ(EJ(x))=0), the natural frequency change of the i-th mode can be approximately expressed as:

[0084]

[0085] wherein, β​ij for x j The relative influence coefficient of the mass change on the i-th order frequency is

[0086]

[0087] where R mj = δ m (x j )·Δx is the mass change factor, reflecting the strength of local mass change, T i is the i-th order modal kinetic energy, combined with the expression of modal displacement φ i (x):

[0088]

[0089] After substituting the modal strain energy formula, the correlation between the unit modal strain energy and the natural frequency change can be obtained. Studies have shown that when the mass block is applied, if the mass size is unchanged (i.e. R mj is constant), the change of the unit modal strain energy is only determined by the frequency change, and the unit mass matrix M a corresponding to the position of the mass block will significantly affect the frequency change rate:

[0090]

[0091] The unit modal strain energy change rate formula is:

[0092]

[0093] Further analysis shows that the unit modal strain energy change rate MSECR j of the damaged area is more significant than that of the undamaged area. Especially when the mass block is applied at the center of the damage area, the difference between the unit modal strain energy change rates MSECR j of the two areas increases with the increase of the mass.

[0094] Step S602, size: three schemes of applying additional mass block of 0.5 times the mass of the damage area, 1 times the mass of the damage area, and 2 times the mass of the damage area are adopted respectively. Through comparison of the schemes, the best scheme of the size of the additional mass block is: applying the additional mass block of 1 times the mass of the damage area at the middle position of the damage area.

[0095] Step S7, for the beam structure with the applied mass block, the five-order modal vibration mode data in the preliminary damage areas M1, M2,..., Mn are collected again, and the average unit modal strain energy change rate of each unit in the preliminary damage areas M1, M2,..., Mn is calculated according to the collected five-order modal vibration mode data. The damage position is judged again to obtain the accurate damage position.

[0096] Step S8, the damage degree of the damage position is determined by using genetic algorithm combination optimization.

[0097] Specifically, the following steps are included:

[0098] Step S801, initial population, variable number, variable range, crossover probability, mutation probability and maximum evolution number are set in Matlab, wherein the variable number corresponds to the number of damage units, the variable range corresponds to the modulus coefficient interval of the damage position, and the initialization evolution number g=1;

[0099] Step S802, for multiple damage cases, a combination optimization strategy is used to parallel code the design variables of each damage position, and initial variable groups A1, A2,..., An are generated as damage degree optimization parameters;

[0100] Step S803, Ansys software is called, initial design variable values are imported into the Ansys damage model, average element modal strain energy change rate of each order is calculated, and the result is returned to Matlab;

[0101] Step S804, according to the average element modal strain energy change rate, a target function F=f(J) is constructed, wherein J is a correlation function of damage degree quantitative index and safety threshold;

[0102] Step S805, the fitness value of the current variable group is calculated based on the preset target function, and it is judged whether the current fitness satisfies the termination condition (such as reaching the maximum iteration number g max or the target function converges), if yes, the optimization process is terminated, and the optimal design variable α=[α1,α2,…,αn] is output as the damage degree value;

[0103] Step S806, if not, the evolution number g is incremented by 1, and step S802 is repeated to update the initial variable group until the termination condition is satisfied.

[0104] The average modal strain energy change rate P i of the damage unit calculated by Ansys is calculated by the following formula: index Comparative analysis:

[0105]

[0106] Wherein, P i is the average element modal strain energy change rate calculated by Ansys by inputting αi for genetic iteration calculation, P index is the element modal strain energy change rate calculated when the damage is located for the first time before the additional mass block is applied, and when the two values are closest, it indicates that the damage degree is closest to the actual situation;

[0107] The final output design variable optimal solution is taken as the damage degree of the damage position.
