Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent manufacturing of composite materials and artificial intelligence, and in particular to a physical information neural network intelligent performance prediction method and system for automated fiber placement (AFP) of complex curved surfaces in aircraft. Background Technology
[0002] Automated fiber placement technology, as a core process in the manufacturing of high-performance composite material components, has been widely applied in high-end equipment fields such as aerospace. It achieves high-precision forming of complex curved surface components by precisely controlling multi-dimensional process parameters such as placement speed, temperature, pressure, tension, placement angle, and turning radius. However, there is a highly nonlinear, strongly coupled, and multimodal mapping relationship between process parameters and the final component quality (such as surface defects: bubbles, gaps, wrinkles, overlaps, torsion; mechanical properties: tensile strength, flexural strength, interlaminar shear strength, compressive strength), making it difficult to accurately model and predict process performance. Currently, fiber placement process performance modeling mainly relies on two types of methods: empirical / mechanistic modeling and purely data-driven modeling.
[0003] Empirical and mechanistic modeling methods: Although these methods have a certain degree of physical interpretability, they rely heavily on prior knowledge and simplification assumptions, making it difficult to characterize complex dynamic behaviors such as multi-field coupling of thermo-mechanical-fluid processes, material nonlinearity, and time-varying boundary conditions in actual processes. Moreover, their modeling process requires a large number of trial-and-error experiments, which are time-consuming, costly, and have limited generalization ability, making it particularly difficult to adapt to new materials and new configuration scenarios.
[0004] Pure data-driven modeling: In recent years, researchers have attempted to introduce machine learning methods such as Support Vector Regression (SVR), XGBoost, LightGBM, and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) to establish the mapping relationship between process parameters and quality indicators. These methods can fit complex nonlinear relationships to a certain extent, but they have significant limitations: (1) Small sample sensitivity: High-quality fiber placement experiments are costly and time-consuming, and the actual number of effective samples that can be obtained is limited, which can easily lead to model overfitting and poor generalization ability. (2) Lack of physical consistency: The model relies only on statistical correlation and ignores the underlying physical laws such as heat conduction, viscoelastic deformation, and interface bonding. The output results may violate basic physical constraints (such as energy conservation and stress continuity), resulting in unreliable prediction results that are difficult to guide engineering practice. (3) Weak multi-output coupling modeling capability: Existing models are mostly designed for single quality indicators, making it difficult to synchronously and collaboratively predict multi-dimensional coupled outputs such as surface defects and mechanical properties, and they are not robust enough to parameter disturbances.
[0005] To address these issues, some studies have attempted to introduce Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for data augmentation or combine Physical Information Neural Networks (PINNs) with partial differential equation constraints. However, existing GAN methods mostly employ fully connected or CNN structures, making it difficult to effectively model long-range dependencies and dynamic interactions between process parameter sequences. Traditional PINNs, on the other hand, are mostly based on feedforward networks, which have limited expressive power and lack mechanisms for effectively judging and guiding the authenticity and diversity of generated samples, making them prone to mode collapse or physical-data mismatch.
[0006] Crucially, there is currently a lack of a unified modeling paradigm that combines mechanistic interpretability, data adaptability, and physical consistency: one that can both inversely identify the dominant process mechanism (such as the dynamic switching logic under different deployment modes) from limited experimental data and integrate this mechanistic knowledge to guide the construction of deep models; one that can both generate high-fidelity, physically consistent virtual samples through adversarial learning to alleviate the bottleneck of small samples and achieve end-to-end collaborative prediction of multiple quality indicators.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a new method for predicting process performance, which can break through the dual dilemma of "black box modeling - physical deviation" and "mechanism simplification - insufficient expression", and provide highly reliable, interpretable and self-evolving algorithmic support for intelligent planning, online monitoring and closed-loop control of automated fiber placement process. Summary of the Invention
[0008] To address this, this invention provides a physical information neural network-based intelligent performance prediction method and system for automated multi-material fiber placement on complex curved surfaces in aircraft. It integrates inverse mechanism modeling with a Physical-Informed Generative Adversarial Network (PI-GAN) for predicting and optimizing the process performance of fiber placement machines. The aim is to overcome the dual shortcomings of existing technologies, such as insufficient expressive power of mechanism modeling and physical deviations in purely data-driven models, as well as weak generalization with small samples. This provides a high-precision, highly interpretable, and self-evolving method for predicting the process performance of fiber placement machines. This method achieves end-to-end accurate prediction of multi-dimensional quality indicators such as surface defects (bubbles, gaps, wrinkles, overlaps, torsion) and mechanical properties (tensile strength, flexural strength, interlaminar shear strength, compressive strength) through a four-stage closed-loop process: inverse mechanism modeling, physical information embedding, adversarial enhancement, and multi-objective collaborative prediction. It is applicable to the performance prediction challenges of thermosetting / thermoplastic composite components during the wire layup process, which are caused by strong nonlinear and multi-coupling relationships between multidimensional process parameters, surface quality indicators, and mechanical performance indicators. It can be widely used in intelligent process planning, online quality prediction, and closed-loop parameter control systems for composite components in high-end equipment fields such as aviation and aerospace.

Based on the aforementioned high-order nonlinear sparse regression candidate library, sparse Bayesian regression and hidden Markov models are used to jointly identify piecewise smooth physical differential equation systems and their mode switching logic, thereby obtaining an embeddable inverse mechanism model. A physical information embedding generative adversarial neural network (PI-GAN) is constructed, wherein the generator of the PI-GAN adopts the Transformer-PINN architecture, and the discriminator adopts a lightweight multilayer perceptron; the inverse mechanism model is embedded as a physical constraint term into the total loss function of the generator; wherein the total loss function of the generator includes adversarial loss, data fidelity loss, and physical constraint loss, and the physical constraint loss is constructed based on the piecewise smooth physical differential equation system and its mode switching logic; The generator and the discriminator are co-optimized using adversarial training to obtain a trained model. Based on the trained model, surface defect indices and mechanical performance indices are output. The mean square error is used as the evaluation index for the surface defect indices and mechanical performance indices. The surface defect indices include the number of bubbles, gaps, wrinkles, overlaps, and torsional deformations. The mechanical performance indices include tensile strength, flexural strength, interlaminar shear strength, and compressive strength. When a new process scenario is introduced, incremental self-learning is initiated. The historical model knowledge of the trained model is retained through knowledge distillation, and a representative sample replay strategy is combined to prevent catastrophic forgetting, thereby achieving model self-evolution.

[0088] This phase constructs a closed-loop enhancement mechanism of "evaluation-driven optimization and optimization-supported evolution" to achieve a leap from "static high precision" to "dynamic self-evolution." The core objectives are: to quantitatively verify the model's generalization ability on multi-dimensional quality indicators; to automatically optimize the network structure and hyperparameters based on evaluation feedback; and to support online incremental learning under new materials, new configurations, and new processes, avoiding the waste of computing power and knowledge forgetting caused by retraining.

The smaller the mean absolute error, the better, as it reflects the actual error distance; The coefficient of determination is as close to 1 as possible, indicating a high degree of model fit.
[0091] 5.2 Incremental self-learning system.
[0092] When introducing new technological scenarios, traditional retraining is costly and leads to the forgetting of old knowledge. This invention designs a three-stage incremental learning framework: (1) Knowledge Distillation.

[0095] Example 2 This embodiment takes the automatic yarn laying process of thermosetting carbon fiber prepreg on convex curved surface components as the background, and aims to achieve high-precision collaborative prediction of 9 quality indicators (5 surface defects: number of bubbles, number of gaps, number of wrinkles, number of overlaps, number of twists; 4 mechanical properties: tensile strength, flexural strength, interlaminar shear strength, compressive strength).
[0096] Step 1: Experimental Data Preprocessing

[0098] Covering the typical value range of 12-dimensional process parameters, 300 sets of orthogonal experiments were designed, with each set of experiments corresponding to one component sample, and 9 quality indicators were collected: Surface defects: number of bubble defects, number of gap defects, number of wrinkle defects, number of overlapping defects, number of torsion defects; Mechanical properties: tensile strength (MPa), flexural strength (MPa), interlaminar shear strength (MPa), compressive strength (MPa).
[0099] 1.2 Data Standardization and Enhancement.
[0100] The six continuous variables were normalized using Min-Max to map them to the [-1, 1] interval to improve training stability. The six discrete variables were then embedded using an 8-dimensional learnable embedding (embedding_dim=8), and the embedding vectors were trained end-to-end with the network after initialization. The processed continuous features and discrete embedded features were concatenated to form an input feature vector with a dimension of 54 (6+6×8).
[0101] To address the problem of scarce original samples, a GSMOTE + physical constraint strategy is adopted for sample augmentation and screening. First, the SMOTE algorithm is used to interpolate in the 5-nearest neighbor space of the minority class to generate candidate samples. Then, the Tomek Links method is used to remove boundary noise pairs and retain valid candidate samples. Subsequently, a physical feasibility filtering mechanism is introduced to remove unreasonable samples that satisfy the radius R < R min = 200 mm or the temperature T h < T9 - 20 °C (where T9 = 135 °C is the glass transition temperature of the CF / EP material). Finally, the augmented samples are stratified into a valid training set, a validation set, and a test set in a ratio of 7:2:1.
[0102] Step 2: Inverse mechanism modeling.

Taking the number of gaps as an example, its evolution equation is assumed to be: ; Use variational sparse Bayesian learning (VSBL) to solve the sparse coefficient : ; Iteratively update through the EM algorithm, retain the terms of the posterior mean , and finally identify the dominant equation for : ; This equation shows that the gap surges at a small curvature radius (R < 500 mm), which is in line with engineering experience.
[0104] Further use the hidden Markov model (HMM, K = 3) to identify mode switching: Mode 1 (steady laying): R ≥ 1000 mm, v ≤ 250 mm / s; Mode 2 (medium-speed turning): 500 ≤ R < 1000 mm; Mode 3 (sharp turn): R < 500 mm; The switching surface is defined as: ; Each mode corresponds to an independent differential equation system , and differentiable switching is achieved through the smooth maximum function: ; Where Distance to the modal center =10, used to control the steepness of the switch; This is the vector of currently input process parameters; For the first The center point of the physical mode of a typical operating condition identified by the system.
[0105] Step 3: PI-GAN model construction and training.

[0108] The adversarial training employs a two-timescale update rule (TTUR): Fixed discriminator learning rate generator ; Each round of updates Second-rate ,Every Rotation Update Second-rate ; Batch size Total training rounds Stop early .
[0109] The generator's total loss is designed as follows: ; in: ; in, This is generated fake data; The score given by the discriminator; The expected value is the average of the results calculated for all samples in the current batch.
[0110] ; in, The most standard supervised learning loss is used; the predicted value is calculated. and the true value The mean square error between them; : This represents the loss weight, indicating that among these 9 indicators, some indicators may be more important than others, so the error penalty is heavier.

[0112] in, The Jacobia matrix is calculated using automatic differentiation. This is the right-hand item of the switching system output for stage 2.
[0113] Initial weights In verifying the loss Later dynamically adjusted to .
[0114] Step 4: Model evaluation and incremental self-learning.
[0115] When a new scenario is introduced (such as CF / PEEK materials), incremental self-learning is initiated: Knowledge Distillation: The Old Model As a teacher, the new model For the student, the loss is: ; in, It is a matrix representing the relationships of concern between layers within the Transformer. The attention matrix represents the old model. This represents the attention matrix of the new model currently being trained.

A physical information neural network intelligent performance prediction system for automated multi-material fiber placement on complex curved surfaces of aircraft, characterized in that, include: The data acquisition module is used to acquire fiber placement process parameters; wherein, the fiber placement process parameters include: continuous variables and discrete variables, the continuous variables include placement speed, placement pressure, placement head temperature, fiber tension, turning path curvature radius, ribbon width and substrate temperature; the discrete variables include: material type, process type, placement angle, plate geometry and substrate material; The data preprocessing and enhancement module is used to perform standardized preprocessing and physical constraint enhancement sampling on the wire laying process parameters to obtain an enhanced training dataset. The candidate library construction module is used to construct a high-order nonlinear sparse regression candidate library based on the enhanced training dataset; wherein, the high-order nonlinear sparse regression candidate library includes a heat conduction dominant term characterizing the heat exchange between the filament bundle and the substrate, a mechanical deformation coupling term characterizing compaction, shearing and buckling instability, and a flow spreading dynamics term characterizing the lateral spreading and edge instability of the filament bundle. The inverse mechanism modeling module is used to identify piecewise smooth physical differential equation systems and their mode switching logic based on the high-order nonlinear sparse regression candidate library, using sparse Bayesian regression and hidden Markov models, to obtain an embeddable inverse mechanism model. A network construction module is used to construct a Physical Information Embedded Generative Adversarial Neural Network (PI-GAN). The generator of the PI-GAN adopts a Transformer-PINN architecture, and the discriminator adopts a lightweight multilayer perceptron. The inverse mechanism model is embedded as a physical constraint term in the generator's total loss function. The generator's total loss function includes adversarial loss, data fidelity loss, and physical constraint loss, wherein the physical constraint loss is constructed based on the piecewise smooth physical differential equation system and its mode switching logic. An optimization module is used to collaboratively optimize the generator and the discriminator in an adversarial training manner to obtain a trained model. Based on the trained model, surface defect indices and mechanical performance indices are output. The surface defect indices and mechanical performance indices are evaluated using mean square error as the evaluation index. The surface defect indices include the number of bubbles, gaps, wrinkles, overlaps, and torsional deformations. The mechanical performance indices include tensile strength, flexural strength, interlaminar shear strength, and compressive strength. The incremental self-learning module is used to initiate incremental self-learning when a new process scenario is introduced. It retains the historical model knowledge of the trained model through knowledge distillation and combines a representative sample replay strategy to prevent catastrophic forgetting, thereby achieving model self-evolution.
