Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of digital twins and the reliability of composite material structures, and in particular to a process and method for updating digital twin parameters of composite material structure reliability. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of aerospace technology, the application of various high-performance composite materials in aerospace structures is becoming increasingly common. Due to the high discreteness and complex failure modes of composite materials, response prediction and reliability assessment of composite structures are essential. In recent years, digital twin technology, which enables real-time mapping between virtual digital space and real physical space, has become a research hotspot. This technology allows for real-time prediction of structural response and real-time reliability assessment.
[0003] Compared to metallic materials, composite materials exhibit more diverse and complex failure modes, with greater dispersion in material performance parameters. As science and technology advance, the reliability requirements for equipment products are increasing. However, in engineering, obtaining uncertain parameters for composite materials is difficult, and insufficient uncertainty data exists. Using traditional probabilistic statistical reliability models to assess the reliability of composite material structures can lead to significant errors. Digital twin technology can solve the problems of difficulty in obtaining uncertain parameter data and information lag in reliability assessment of composite material structures. For real-time acquired reliability data, if the sample data is sufficient, traditional probabilistic variables can be used to describe the data. Considering that relevant parameters in engineering are usually bounded, the traditional probabilistic variables are truncated to obtain corresponding truncated probabilistic variables. If the sample data is insufficient and the probability distribution cannot be accurately fitted, non-probabilistic variables are used to describe the data. Furthermore, when facing complex engineering problems, iterative solutions to hybrid reliability indices often fail to converge or cannot iterate to the global minimum. Therefore, it is necessary to study algorithms for solving hybrid reliability indices using truncated probabilistic and non-probabilistic methods.
[0004] Because uncertainties exist in data acquisition, data reduction, and data prediction processes within digital twin models, it is necessary to fully consider these uncertainties and provide a parameter update process for structural reliability digital twins to establish a reliability digital twin model. The digital twin model includes various types of data throughout the entire lifecycle of the structure. Applying digital twin technology in reliability analysis can solve the problems of data scarcity, unavailability, and information lag in reliability analysis. Reliability digital twin models can achieve real-time reliability assessment, which will significantly improve the real-time performance and accuracy of reliability assessments. Currently, research on the application of digital twin technology in structural reliability analysis and assessment is limited. Only a few scholars have applied digital twin technology to reliability analysis and assessment based on probabilistic reliability models. Research on the practical application of digital twin technology in engineering for probabilistic-nonprobabilistic hybrid reliability is scarce. Considering the multi-scale uncertainties of composite material structures in reliability digital twin modeling, how to quickly and stably converge the structural function function to the global minimum under high nonlinearity, and how to update reliability data are all issues limiting the development of reliability digital twin models, and research on these issues is limited.
[0005] In summary, how to utilize digital twin technology combined with rapid reliability index calculation algorithms, fully consider reliability data, and achieve real-time parameter updates and real-time reliability assessment is a key issue that urgently needs to be addressed in the field of composite material structure reliability. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This invention provides a process and method for updating digital twin parameters of composite material structure reliability, which can realize the updating of structural reliability parameters and real-time reliability assessment.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A process and method for updating digital twin parameters of composite material structure reliability, including:
[0009] Step 1: Data Acquisition. Test data is collected using data acquisition equipment such as strain gauges and load sensors.
[0010] Step 2: Considering sensor error, fault physics model prediction error, and digital twin model prediction error, perform uncertainty analysis to determine the parameters of uncertainty variables;
[0011] Step 3: Store the relevant experimental data collected in Step 1 and the uncertainty variable parameters from Step 2 into the database for data management;
[0012] Step 4: Combining the failure physics model (multiple failure physics models for failure modes such as tensile fracture and fatigue damage) and the data-driven model, a reliability digital twin model is established within the database-based framework for predicting the response of composite material structures, and combined with the hybrid reliability model.
[0013] Step 5: Determine the range of non-probability interval variables based on strain error analysis in the digital twin model, determine the range of elastic modulus based on sensor error analysis, and determine the strength truncated distribution based on test results;
[0014] Step Six: Perform reliability assessment calculations using a global plus local fast solution algorithm. and index;
[0015] Step 7: The data collected in real time is transmitted to the reduced-order model in real time to update the reduced-order model and the error correction strategy, and finally realize the update of the digital twin model;
[0016] Step 8: Obtain strain error data in real time through the digital twin model that is updated in real time, and update the strain parameters of the non-probability interval variables;
[0017] Step 9: Determine whether the experiment is over;
[0018] Step 10: If the current test is over, determine whether all tests are completed. If the next test is to be conducted, update the intensity distribution parameters of the truncated probability variable and the elastic modulus parameters of the non-probability interval variable.
[0019] Step 11: Repeat steps 6 through 11 until all tests are completed to end the reliability digital twin prediction program, complete the reliability digital twin process, and achieve real-time reliability assessment.
[0020] Furthermore, in step two, the variable parameters are described using truncated probability variables if there is sufficient sample data, and using non-probability interval variables if the sample size is insufficient.
[0021] Furthermore, in step four, the reliability digital twin model is established by considering the real-time prediction errors of various models, especially the real-time update of parameters, after the failure physical model and the data-driven model are fused and reduced in order.
[0022] Furthermore, in step six, the global plus local fast solution algorithm is based on the genetic algorithm and gradient descent method. According to the variables and the limit state equation, global optimization algorithms such as quasi-annealing algorithm and particle swarm optimization algorithm and local solution algorithms such as various iterative algorithms can be selected.
[0023] Furthermore, in step eight, strain is treated as a non-probability interval variable in the digital twin model to consider prediction errors and realize real-time updates of structural reliability parameters by providing a real-time non-probability interval for strain.
[0024] Furthermore, in step ten, the strength parameter, due to the accumulation of a certain number of samples in each test, is considered as a truncated probability variable. After the tensile test of a single specimen is completed, the strength value of this test is added to the strength sample to refit the strength distribution and realize the real-time update of the truncated probability variable. The non-probability interval of the elastic modulus is achieved by considering the calculation error of stress caused by the error of the load sensor and finally transmitting the error to the elastic modulus.
[0025] The advantages of this invention are:

It realizes real-time calculation of reliability indicators and performs real-time reliability assessment of dynamic structures. In the dynamic process, the real-time quantitative calculation of structural reliability indicators reveals that the structure gradually progresses from an absolutely safe, interference-free region to interference and eventual failure.

[0041] In the formula: R is the strength (a truncated probability variable; since there are relatively many samples of R, and considering that R is bounded in engineering, it is considered a truncated probability variable), S is the stress, and the stress value is calculated using the elastic modulus E (an interval variable) and strain ε (an interval variable) (E and ε are unique in real-time calculations and cannot be accurately fitted to distributions, so they are considered interval variables). Where R∈[R il R ir ], R il R is the lower bound of the intensity during the i-th test. ir This is the upper bound of the intensity during the i-th test. E∈[E il E ir ], E il E represents the lower limit of the elastic modulus range during the i-th test. ir This represents the upper limit of the elastic modulus range during the i-th test. ε∈[ε il , ε ir ], ε il ε represents the lower limit of the strain range during the i-th test. ir This represents the upper limit of the strain range during the i-th test.

[0050] Description of strength uncertainty: A normal distribution curve for strength is obtained by fitting the experimental data to a normal distribution. Considering the upper and lower limits of strength, strength is treated as a truncated probability variable. After the tensile test of a single specimen is completed, the strength value is added to the strength sample to refit the strength distribution, thereby achieving real-time updates of the truncated probability variable.
