[0077] Example 1

[0078] A test was conducted on a pipeline under construction, 10 strain flowers were pasted on a sewage pipeline with a buried depth of 18 m, and the positions of the strain flowers were as shown in Figure 1 Each strain flower was connected with 6 wires, and each two wires were connected to a channel of the strain gauge according to the 1 / 4 bridge method, so that one group of strain flowers corresponded to three channels at the same time, and all the strain flower groups corresponded to 30 channels in total. The strain gauge was connected with a temperature compensation sheet, that is, a small piece of material sample.

[0079] One channel of the strain gauge can output one strain value, and three values output by one strain flower are: ε0, ε 45 , and ε 90 . The three values will be sent to the terminal in real time through the signaler. By using the three values through the following strain relationship, ε x , ε y , and γ xy can be obtained:

[0080]

[0081] Referring to Figures 3-6 , the known parameters are substituted into the following four equations, and σ x , σ y , and τ xyThe seven equations have been written in the terminal in advance, so when testing, only the relevant parameters of the material need to be input to directly obtain the results. The terminal is set to collect data in real time, with a sampling frequency of 1 Hz, i.e. collecting data once per second. Since the strain gauges are always measuring data in real time, the terminal can directly obtain the values of σ x , σ y , τ xy with respect to time, i.e. the changes in the principal stresses with respect to time, and the changes in the principal stresses with respect to time at site 1 and site 2 are listed. At the same time, the finite element software establishes a corresponding pipeline model by inputting the geometric dimensions and material parameters.

[0082] Referring to Figure 7 , in this embodiment, the elastic modulus of the pipeline is E = 8.9 Gpa, the Poisson's ratio is v = 0.2, and the shear modulus is G = 1.8 Gpa. The finite element software reads the collected data in real time and analyzes to obtain the corresponding stress and strain field. The finite element software uses the stress values on the inner wall of the top end to obtain the stress values at the actual dangerous points of the pipeline. When the pipeline reaches the maximum stress, the maximum stress of the pipeline does not exceed the allowable stress value during construction, so the alarm does not issue a warning, thereby ensuring the safety of the construction process.

[0083]

[0084]

[0085]

[0086]

[0087] Referring to Figures 8-11 , in embodiment two, testing is performed on a section of underground sewage pipeline with a buried depth of 14 m, and the same strain gauge pasting method as in embodiment one is used. The terminal collects data transmitted by the strain gauges in real time, and the finite element simultaneously establishes a corresponding pipeline model. The finite element analyzes in real time using the strain data transmitted by the strain gauges and obtains the actual stress of the pipeline using the inverse problem method. Similarly, the changes in the axial normal stress, radial normal stress and shear stress with respect to time at site 1 and site 2 are listed.

[0088] In this embodiment, the material parameters of the pipeline are: the elastic modulus E = 8.9 Gpa, the Poisson's ratio v = 0.2 and the shear modulus G = 1.8 Gpa. The finite element software reads the collected data in real time and analyzes to obtain the corresponding stress and strain field. When the stress of the pipeline reaches the maximum, the finite element software draws the corresponding stress distribution diagram.

[0089] The application comprehensively detects the strength of the pipeline in all aspects, can not only remotely collect the strain value transmitted by the strain gauge, analyze the whole pipeline by using the inverse problem method of the finite element software, but also can monitor whether problems appear in the construction link at any time, when the pipeline approaches the strength limit in the construction process, the terminal can immediately obtain the corresponding feedback and send a signal, the network signaler receives the signal and transmits it to the alarm, the construction is timely stopped, the safety of the construction is improved, and the safety is provided for the pipeline transportation.
