Description

Technical Field

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

[0003] As an important component that bears the weight of the high-speed train, the crossbeam will be subjected to various mechanical effects for a long time during the train's operation, such as lateral and vertical loads and vibration impact, which will cause serious deformation and even cracks in the crossbeam structure, seriously endangering the safety and reliability of the train. The strain state of the crossbeam structure can reflect the structural state at this time, and can also monitor the fatigue and cracks of the structure. Therefore, it is of great significance to reconstruct the strain field of the crossbeam structure and conduct a health assessment of the structure.

[0004] The finite element modeling method is one of the best methods for structural design and analysis at present. It can effectively calculate the comprehensive information of the structure. However, due to the uncertainty in the structural production and testing process, the uncertainty of the modeling parameters, etc., the initial finite element model is usually quite different from the actual structure, which cannot fully reflect the true response of the structure and easily causes errors in a series of subsequent processing. Summary of the invention

On the basis of the initial finite element model, a method combining Bayesian finite element correction and strain field reconstruction is designed, which improves the accuracy of the finite element model and the quality of the model restoring the actual structure.

[0052] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are illustrative and are intended to provide further explanation of the present application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in the present invention have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs.

[0053] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, it indicates the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0054] Embodiment 1

[0055] In one or more embodiments, a strain field reconstruction method based on Bayesian finite element model modification is disclosed, combined with Figure 1 , including the following steps:

[0056] (1) Perform modal tests on the beam structure to obtain modal data;

[0057] In this embodiment, multiple modal tests are performed on the beam structure, and the modal data of the first three orders are obtained each time. The modal data includes modal frequency data and modal vibration shape data.

[0058] (2) constructing a posterior probability density function of a finite element model of the beam structure based on the modal data using the Bayesian formula;

[0059] Specifically, the Bayesian formula

[0060]

[0061] P(A|B) is the posterior probability of event A, P(B|A) is called the likelihood function or conditional probability, P(A) is the prior probability of event A, and P(B) is the marginal probability of event B. It can be seen that the independent variable of P(A|B) is A and has nothing to do with B. P(B) only plays the role of a constant regularization.

[0062] Therefore, the formula can be written as:

[0063]

[0064] The derivation process of the posterior probability density is as follows:

[0065] During the model correction process, let θ be the parameter vector to be corrected:

[0066] Y * =Y(θ)+ε (3)

[0067] ε~N(0,cov) (4)

[0068] Y * is the measured data vector, Y(θ) is the finite element calculation output vector, ε represents the test variance, and is simulated by a normal distribution N with a mean of 0 and a covariance matrix of cov.

[0069] According to the Bayesian assumption, uniform distribution is used as the prior distribution:

[0070]

[0071] Through modal testing, the frequency ω and vibration mode are obtained. If the sample data is equal, the likelihood function is:

[0072]

[0073] D is a matrix containing the modal frequencies and modal vibration shapes.

[0074] Using the linear model, the structural modal frequency ω and modal vibration shape Can be expressed as:

[0075] ω=ω(θ)+e ω (7)

[0076]

[0077] Among them, e ω , is the modal frequency error, with a mean of 0 and a variance of cov ω , The normal distribution of is a known quantity. Then:

[0078]

[0079]

[0080] Then the posterior probability density function of the parameter to be repaired is:

[0081]

[0082]

[0083] To maximize the posterior probability density function P(θD), J(θ) must be minimized.

[0084] (3) Select the parameters to be corrected in the finite element model, form a Markov chain using the MH-MCMC sampling method, and use the modal data to calculate the corrected finite element model for finite element simulation.

[0085] In this embodiment, the Markov chain is a discrete-time stochastic process with the Markov property. In this process, given the current information, the future state is only related to the current state and has nothing to do with the past state.

[0086] The Markov chain Monte Carlo method is the most popular sampling technique in Bayesian inference and is a random walk process that can be used to estimate the "target distribution". The basic idea of forming a Markov chain is as follows: First, a suitable Markov chain needs to be selected. Starting from a certain point in the space Ω, a sequence x (1) , x (2) ,... x (n) is generated using the Markov chain. When n is large enough, the expectation of x is as follows:

[0087]

[0088] m is the number of combustion samples, m < n, and the influence of the initial value needs to be considered to reduce the influence caused by improper selection of the initial value.

[0089] The process of MH sampling is as Figure 2 shown:

[0090] Select the parameters to be corrected E0 is the initial elastic modulus and ρ0 is the initial density. The process of the MH sampling method is as follows:

[0091] ① Select an initial value θ (0) .

[0092] ② According to the selected proposal distribution q(θ * , θ t ), obtain the candidate value θ * . In this embodiment, the normal distribution is selected according to experience in order to obtain the candidate value θ t at the next moment through the t-th parameter value θ * .

[0093] ③ According to the candidate value θ * , calculate the acceptance probability density function (due to the symmetry of the proposal distribution q(θ * , θ t ) = q(θ t , θ * )):

[0094]

[0095] ④ Randomly generate u in the uniform distribution of (0, 1):

[0096]

[0097] ⑤ Repeat the above process to form a convergent sequence {θ0, θ1,..., θ n}}.

[0098] (4) Arrange fiber Bragg grating sensors on the crossbeam structure to obtain a strain response column vector. At the same time, establish a finite-point strain matrix and a full-field strain response matrix using the modified finite element model;

[0099] In this embodiment, use the Abaqus finite element simulation software to apply a load to the crossbeam and establish a strain matrix of finite points and a strain matrix of the entire structure field The strain response column vector ε composed of the strains measured by FBG sensors M =[ε1 ε2 … ε M .

[0100]

[0101] In the formula, M is the number of finite nodes, and n is the selected modal order;

[0102] The strain response of all points on the crossbeam model under the action of the load is

[0103]

[0104] In the formula, N is the number of all strain points.

[0105] (5) According to the modal superposition principle, solve the modal coordinates by multiplying the strain response column vector with the simulated finite-point strain matrix; multiply the modal coordinates with the full-field strain response matrix to obtain the full-field strain value under the static load condition and realize the strain field reconstruction.

[0106] Specifically, according to the modal superposition principle, the strain response of the structure under the action of the load is the linear superposition of all strain modes:

[0107]

[0108] In the formula, q n is the modal coordinate.

[0109] When M < n, q n has infinitely many solutions. To avoid this situation, therefore, the number of sensors cannot be less than the order of the mode.

[0110] When M = n, it can be obtained by inversion:

[0111]

[0112] When M>n, multiply both sides by The following equation can be obtained:

[0113]

[0114] Further simplification yields:

[0115]

[0116] According to the modal superposition principle, the full-field strain response matrix With the modal coordinate q n Multiply them together to get the full-field strain value ε under static load conditions N :

[0117]

[0118]
