Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of underwater detection technology, and in particular to an intelligent detection method and system for underwater engineering structures based on digital twins. Background Technology

[0002] The statements in this section merely refer to the background art related to this invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Underwater engineering structures are widely used in inland waterways and oceans. Due to the complex working environment, the increasingly large and complex underwater engineering structures are not only costly to construct but also difficult to monitor and maintain. Therefore, accurate detection and evaluation of their performance are particularly important. By conducting health checks and damage diagnoses on the structures, early warnings of potential damage can be provided, allowing for timely repairs and reinforcement, thereby avoiding potential economic losses and casualties.

[0004] Conventional monitoring methods often involve deploying sensors on the surface of a structure. However, once deployed, these sensors cannot be moved, making it difficult to track and monitor performance changes that occur during the structure's operation.

[0005] Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) can be used for comprehensive inspection of underwater engineering structures, as well as for targeted inspections of specific areas such as welds. However, the data obtained cannot be directly used for structural performance evaluation and damage diagnosis. Mathematical models built using conventional statistical or machine learning methods lack the support of mechanical principles, making it difficult to accurately reproduce changes in structural performance; their accuracy and interpretability are both insufficient.
