Abstract

The invention discloses a rapid deformation reconstruction method for a large-displacement flexible beam structure, and belongs to the field of structural health monitoring. On the basis of a co-rotation coordinate method, the local displacement is obtained after rigid body displacement is removed from the total displacement of the flexible beam structure.

And solving the optimal solution of the functional by adopting an optimization algorithm. In addition, a simplification strategy which ignores a high-order small quantity is adopted, so that the whole nonlinear deformation reconstruction method remarkably improves the calculation efficiency on the premise that the calculation precision is not sacrificed. According to the method, the node displacement parameter enabling the functional to be minimum can be rapidly solved, and rapid and high-precision deformation reconstruction of the large-displacement flexible beam structure is achieved.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of structural health monitoring and relates to a rapid deformation reconstruction method for large-displacement flexible beam structures. Specifically, it is an analysis method for rapidly reconstructing the nonlinear deformation displacement field of a beam structure. Background Technology

[0002] Displacement monitoring of beam structures is the process of real-time monitoring of the shape of beam structures. As one of the key damage characteristics in structural health monitoring (SHM) systems, employing efficient and accurate displacement monitoring methods to identify and assess the deformation state and safety of structures in real time has become a core technology for ensuring structural safety and reliability, and also an important early warning means for assessing the risk of structural failure.

[0003] Existing deformation reconstruction methods based on measured strain can be divided into modal methods, Ko displacement theory, and inverse finite element methods (iFEM). Most traditional deformation reconstruction methods focus on small deformation analysis. Among them, the inverse finite element method based on the small deformation assumption is widely used for small deformation reconstruction of various structures due to its excellent performance in terms of accuracy and applicability, and the fact that it does not require elastic or inertial parameters of the material.

[0004] With the continuous advancement of materials science and technology, flexible and complex engineering structures are increasingly widely used in modern engineering. The linear displacement assumption is often no longer applicable to systems subjected to complex loads and nonlinear responses. Existing experimental studies on the nonlinear displacement behavior of beams have found that the deviation between linear analysis predictions and measured values ​​in the nonlinear deformation stage is as high as 12.50%. Therefore, nonlinear analysis must be introduced when reconstructing the nonlinear displacement of beams. However, the introduction of geometric nonlinearity significantly increases the solution time, making it difficult to meet the real-time monitoring requirements for the nonlinear displacement of flexible beam structures in practical engineering applications.

[0005] In the prior art, a Chinese invention patent (application number: 202111469982.5) proposes a classic inverse finite element method framework, which achieves deformation reconstruction by constructing a weighted least squares functional. However, this method is based entirely on linear theory and cannot accurately describe the strain-displacement relationship of the structure under large rotation and large displacement conditions, resulting in a significant decrease in reconstruction accuracy during the nonlinear deformation stage. A Chinese invention patent (application number: 202211569574.1) introduces the corotation coordinate method into the inverse finite element system, improving the ability to describe large rotation problems by separating rigid body motion from pure deformation. Although this method enhances the adaptability to geometric nonlinearity at the theoretical level, its complete corotation formulation and complex Jacobian derivation lead to a sharp increase in computational complexity and low solution efficiency, failing to meet the computational speed requirements of real-time monitoring.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a rapid deformation reconstruction method for large-displacement flexible beam structures to predict their deformation and solve the aforementioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the problems of existing technologies, this invention proposes a rapid deformation reconstruction method for large-displacement flexible beam structures. This method is based on the corotational coordinate method (CR), obtaining local displacements after removing rigid body displacements from the overall displacement of the flexible beam structure. Substituting the local displacements obtained by the corotational coordinate method into the iFEM formula based on the small deformation assumption transforms the deformation reconstruction problem under geometrically nonlinear conditions into a squared functional optimization problem of finding the optimal nodal displacement parameters that minimize the sum of the mean square errors of theoretical and measured strains. To solve for the optimal solution of this functional, this invention employs a more robust optimization algorithm. This algorithm only requires first-order variational calculation of the global displacement using local displacements and constructing the tangent stiffness matrix, thus avoiding the complex second-order variational derivation of traditional optimization methods. To simplify the calculation of the first-order variation, this invention adopts a simplification strategy of ignoring higher-order small quantities. This simplification significantly improves the computational efficiency of the entire nonlinear deformation reconstruction method without sacrificing computational accuracy. Finally, the nodal displacement parameters that minimize the functional can be quickly solved, achieving rapid and high-precision deformation reconstruction of large-displacement flexible beam structures.

Its core improvement lies in simplifying the variational relationship between local and global displacements. This significantly reduces the computational complexity of the equivalent internal forces and tangential stiffness matrices of discrete elements, thereby achieving efficient reconstruction of the static and dynamic deformations of large-displacement flexible beam structures while maintaining reconstruction accuracy. The rationality, feasibility, and advantages of this invention can be further illustrated by the following simulations;

[0084] Figure 6 To improve the computational efficiency of the large displacement iFEM method compared to other methods, Figure 6 The convergence speed comparison shows that the improved large displacement iFEM method significantly reduces the number of iteration steps required to solve the deformation of large displacement flexible beam structures, with the number of iteration steps increased by more than 10%.

[0085] To further calculate the solution speed, each algorithm was executed 100 times for each deformation level, and the total time required to find the optimal solution was recorded and displayed. Figure 7 As can be seen, the total calculation time for reconstructing the deformation using the improved large displacement iFEM method is less than 0.15 seconds, and the solution speed is reduced by more than 20% in the case of deformation level LV3-LV5.
