The repair tool sets the repair process according to the target repair process parameters and implements the repair of the repair entity, so as to realize the analysis of the repair process parameters and the performance of the composite material during the repair of the aviation composite material by using the digital twin, and intelligently adjust the repair work of the repair tool, so that the repair tool repairs the composite material repair entity according to the preset repair process.

[0046] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in step S101, the repair entity is an entity component that has suffered damage in the manufacturing and / or service link, wherein the damage includes but is not limited to voids, delamination, debonding, scratches, cracks, impacts, lightning strikes, combustion, etc. caused by external force impact.

[0052] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the intelligent repair method of the aviation composite material further comprises: adjusting the repair process of the repair tool to the repaired entity according to the repair process, so as to realize the rapid and accurate repair of the repaired entity.

[0053] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the intelligent repair method of the aviation composite material further comprises: monitoring the parameter change of the repaired repaired entity in the service stage by the digital twin. It can be understood that after the repair of the repaired entity is completed, the digital twin continues to receive the same load, environmental parameter change and the like of the repaired repaired entity in the service stage, provides the latest virtual information of the repaired entity, and until the repaired entity fails and obtains the failure parameters such as strength reduction degree and life, so as to realize the monitoring of the parameter change of the repaired repaired entity in the service stage by the digital twin.

[0054] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the intelligent repair method of the aviation composite material further comprises: dynamically updating the digital twin by using repair data of the repair entity collected in real time during the repair process, wherein the repair data comprises repair process parameters and observation data, the repair process parameters can be set repair process parameters and repair process parameters dynamically adjusted in real time according to the observation data during the repair process, and the observation data is data tested by some measuring instruments. It can be understood that the repair data of the repair entity collected in real time is used as the input of the digital twin, the actual repair process is simulated and predicted by the digital twin according to the input, for example, the set repair process parameters in the actual repair process are used as the input, the digital twin is used to simulate and determine the optimal repair process according to the repair process parameters. At the same time, the observation data in the real-time collected data and the predicted data output by the digital twin are verified by the multi-scale interaction model in the data twin, and then the digital twin is corrected, so as to realize the updating of the digital twin.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, by updating the digital twin by using the repair data of the repair entity collected in real time during the repair process, the data twin can continuously have the updating evolution ability, and the multi-scale relationship of the iteration information of the digital twin is effectively considered, which helps the digital twin to provide more accurate repair process parameters in the subsequent repair process.

[0056] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the intelligent repair method of the aviation composite material further comprises: establishing an aviation composite material repair digital twin database according to the repair data of the plurality of repair entities and the corresponding digital twins, and realizing analysis, updating and evolution of the aviation composite material repair digital twin.

[0057] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the digital twin in the embodiment of the present disclosure is obtained by using the repair data of the repair entity sample and the mechanism model of the repair entity sample in the repair process as training data, and training the to-be-trained digital twin by using the training data and / or real-time collected observation data. Specifically, the digital twin modeling process is as shown in Figure 2 .

[0058] Figure 2 A flowchart of construction of the aviation composite material repair digital twin in the embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically shown.

[0059] As shown in Figure 2 , the construction of the digital twin in the embodiment of the present disclosure is as steps S201 to S211.

[0060] In step S201, the repair elements of the repair entity sample are obtained.

[0061] Specifically, the repair elements of the repair entity sample also include the structure parameters, the repair process parameters and the damage parameters.

[0062] In step S202 to step S203, the repair digital model and the mechanism model are established.

[0063] Specifically, the repair digital model is established with the repair elements of the repair entity sample, the mechanism model is established with the internal mechanism of the repair entity sample in the repair process, and the training data is constructed based on the repair digital model and the mechanism model.

[0064] More specifically, the repair digital model is a digital model suitable for computational processing, which is established according to the aviation composite material repair entity sample and fully reflects the repair elements of the repair entity sample; the mechanism model is a mathematical model that accurately describes the repair process, which is established according to the internal mechanism of the repair entity sample in the repair process, and the internal mechanism of the repair entity sample in the repair process includes the basic laws required by the digital twin, the thermodynamic coupling dynamics equation, the material constitutive model, the damage evolution model, the fatigue failure model, the physical meaning of the parameters in the mechanism model, and at least one of the composite material repair process. It should be noted that the basic laws required by the digital twin are laws consistent with natural laws, such as Newton's first law and Newton's second law; the composite material repair process includes but is not limited to drilling, patching, layering process, curing process, detection process, design process, and service detection.

[0065] Wherein, before the construction of the training data is completed, it is also necessary to judge whether the training data meets the high-fidelity information simulation, i.e. step S204.

[0066] In step S204, whether the actual repair process is accurately described.

[0067] Specifically, the repair digital model and the mechanism model established by using the repair entity sample are used to establish a repair model suitable for calculation processing, which comprehensively reflects the repair elements of the repair entity sample, so as to realize numerical simulation in the actual repair process. The repair model can realize high-fidelity simulation and prediction of the actual repair process. The simulation value of the repair model is output by training the repair model using the training data. If the error between the simulation value of the repair model and the actual test result is large, it is considered that the training data cannot perform high-fidelity information simulation and prediction, and cannot meet the required accuracy, that is, the repair process cannot be accurately described. At this time, it is necessary to re-establish the repair digital model and the mechanism model, and continuously iteratively adjust, so that the training data can perform high-fidelity information simulation and prediction. If the error between the simulation value of the repair model and the actual test result is small, it is considered that the repair process can be accurately described. After comprehensively considering the cost and accuracy requirements, a suitable sampling strategy is adopted to screen and construct the training data, which is more representative and suitable for the calculation processing of the repair model, and is used for the construction of the digital twin.

[0068] In steps S205-S211, a digital twin to be trained is constructed to obtain a digital twin.

[0069] Specifically, the digital twin includes a statistical inference model, a multi-scale interaction model and a data assimilation model, wherein the digital twin is trained by the following steps S206-S211:

[0070] A repair digital model reflecting the repair elements of the repair entity sample is established according to the repair entity sample, and a mechanism model describing the repair process is established according to the internal mechanism of the repair entity sample in the repair process;

[0071] The repair digital model and the mechanism model of the repair entity sample are used as training data and mechanism constraints of the digital twin to be trained;

[0072] The statistical inference model in the digital twin to be trained is trained according to the training data, the observation data of the repair entity sample collected in real time and the prior knowledge data in the mechanism model, and the prediction data is output;

[0073] Under the constraint of the mechanism model, the loss value is calculated according to the prediction data and the observation data of the repair entity sample collected in real time, the loss result is obtained, the parameters of the multi-scale interaction model in the digital twin to be trained are iteratively adjusted, and the multi-scale interaction model and the statistical inference model of the digital twin are obtained; and

[0074] The new observation data of the repair entity sample collected in real time is input into the data assimilation model in the digital twin to be trained for updating, and the data assimilation model of the digital twin is obtained;

[0075] The statistical inference model, the multi-scale interaction model and the data assimilation model in the digital twin are integrated to obtain the digital twin.

[0076] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the statistical inference model is based on a dynamic Bayesian network, and the digital twin to be trained is trained according to observation data of a repaired entity sample collected in real time and prior knowledge (i.e., basic laws required by the digital twin), an inference of a repair working condition outside an assimilation range is made, and the inference of the unknown working condition is expressed in a probabilistic form, so as to realize prediction and prediction of the overall working condition of the repaired entity sample.

[0077] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the multi-scale interaction model is based on a dynamic Bayesian network, and a loss value is calculated according to prediction data and observation data of a repaired entity sample collected in real time under the constraint of a mechanism model, a loss result is obtained, parameters of the multi-scale interaction model in the digital twin to be trained are iteratively adjusted by using the loss result, and a multi-scale interaction model and a statistical inference model of the digital twin are obtained, so as to ensure mechanism coordination of output information of the digital twin in multiple scales.

[0078] It can be understood that, according to the multi-scale mechanism between input, output and observation data of different scales, the internal mechanism of the repaired entity sample in the repair process is combined, that is, the multi-scale mechanism and the statistical method fuse the multi-scale mechanism constraint in the calculation and prediction of the digital twin, the high-fidelity collaborative integration between the digital twin and the multi-scale and multi-physical model is realized, and the state and analysis of the repaired entity sample under different scales are given, wherein the multi-scale can be macroscopic, microscopic and mesoscopic physical quantities.

[0079] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the data assimilation model is constructed by using a probabilistic graph model or a dynamic Bayesian network-Markov network, new observation data is fused on the basis of dynamic running of the digital twin to be trained by considering data spatio-temporal distribution and model uncertainty, dynamic updating of the digital twin to be trained is realized, and a data assimilation model of the digital twin is obtained. The data spatio-temporal distribution includes: repair data distribution characteristics associated with repair entity coordinates and courses based on a unified spatio-temporal reference; and the model error includes uncertainty caused by noise and deviation due to the fact that experiments, mechanisms and simulations are not completely consistent with the real situation.

[0080] Then, the statistical inference model, the multi-scale interaction model and the data assimilation model in the digital twin are integrated to obtain the digital twin. In the case that the obtained digital twin can realize data assimilation, statistical inference and multi-scale interaction functions during the repair process according to the given repair entity of the composite material, a digital twin suitable for repairing the repair entity is obtained, which has the characteristics of virtual-real cooperation, data fusion, iterative optimization, error quantification and intelligent decision-making, and lays a foundation for improving the repair level of the repair entity of the aviation composite material.

[0081] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, after obtaining the digital twin, the repair entity can be converted into a virtual object by using the digital twin, and an intelligent repair scheme suitable for the repair entity can be designed through the virtual object. Then, according to the intelligent repair scheme, the repair of the repair entity is implemented by using the digital twin to control the repair tool, realizing the virtual-real interaction between the repair entity and the virtual object. The digital twin provided by the present disclosure fully considers the diversity and complexity of the components, structure, damage and failure mode of the composite material during the construction process, and enhances the repair process and technology of the digital twin by using the machine learning algorithm, effectively solving the problems that it is difficult to quickly realize the target repair process design, predict and analyze the repair process and integrate the intelligent repair in the actual repair process.

[0082] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the digital twin constructed by the above method replaces the high-fidelity engineering simulation that can be realized by the repair digital model and mechanism model of the aviation composite material, and can realize the two-dimensional or three-dimensional full-field real-time prediction of the key performance of the repair entity, and is used for accelerating the prediction and design space search. At the same time, the digital twin provided by the present disclosure has the ability of updating and evolution by using the data assimilation model, and the multi-scale interaction model can effectively strengthen the multi-scale connection of iterative information. The key performance of the repair entity includes at least one of the curing degree, deformation, strain, stress, tensile strength, bearing strength, hardness, plasticity and toughness.

[0083] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the digital twin can be used for accelerating the prediction and design space search by the following steps:

[0084] The digital twin to be trained is relatively accurate in approximating high nonlinearity by statistical methods and machine learning algorithms with relatively loose training data according to a parameterized or non-parameterized reduced-order model, and realizes high-fidelity information simulation. On this basis, combined with a data assimilation model, a statistical inference model and a multi-scale interaction model, the digital twin obtained in the design space under a repair process parameter combination (such as any point in the design space) provides a predicted mean and a predicted uncertainty of the key performance of the repaired repair entity, so as to obtain the key performance of the repaired repair entity, wherein the repair process parameter combination includes at least one of temperature, pressure, size, time, curing degree and tool path.

[0085] Based on the above-mentioned intelligent repair method for aviation composite materials, the disclosure also provides an intelligent repair system for aviation composite materials, which will be described in detail below Figure 3 The device is described in detail.

[0086] Figure 3 The structure block diagram of the intelligent repair system for aviation composite materials in the embodiment of the disclosure is schematically shown.

[0087] As Figure 3 shown, the intelligent repair system for aviation composite materials includes a real-time data transmission module 310, a digital model acquisition module 320, an intelligent repair design module 330, a digital twin control module 340 and a repair tool module 350.
