Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of structural fire resistance testing, and in particular to a method and system for mixed structural fire testing. Background Technology

[0002] Fires and secondary fires following earthquakes severely impact the mechanical properties of structures, causing localized damage and even progressive collapse, resulting in enormous economic losses and casualties. Studying the overall response of structures under fire can help improve structural design theory and reduce or prevent major casualties.

[0003] There are usually two methods for simulating structural fire response: numerical simulation and physical testing. In terms of numerical simulation, the restoring force characteristics of the material need to be known in advance. Due to the strong nonlinearity that may occur during structural fire, the existing numerical simulation results are distorted and cannot truly reflect the disaster mechanism of the structure. In terms of physical testing, due to the limitations of fire test sites, equipment and funding, the existing research on the fire resistance performance of structures mainly focuses on individual components, simplified substructures or scaled-down specimens, and it is difficult to effectively consider the boundary constraint effect of non-fired parts on the fire-affected structure, and cannot consider the influence of the redistribution of internal forces in the structure and the real constraint of non-fired components on the fire-affected components. Therefore, combining numerical simulation with physical testing, i.e. fire-resistant hybrid testing, is an effective way to simulate the overall fire response of the structure. However, there are still limiting factors in the existing fire-resistant hybrid testing: (1) It is often assumed that only columns or part of the substructure are in the fire-affected state and the hybrid test is carried out with them as physical substructures, ignoring the spread of fire, i.e., the non-fire-affected parts of the structure are also in a high-temperature state, which seriously affects the mechanical properties of the components and the boundary conditions of the physical substructure. (2) When the numerical substructure considers the effect of temperature, a thermo-mechanical coupling analysis is required, which will significantly increase the calculation time and is not conducive to carrying out fire-resistant hybrid tests.

Compared to existing technologies that only consider the structural parts exposed to fire, neglecting the spread and development of the fire, and requiring thermo-mechanical coupling analysis when considering the temperature effect on the numerical substructure, which significantly increases computation time, this invention uses a spatiotemporal temperature field distribution model to predict the temperature of each part of the physical substructure at different times. This allows for the simulation of fire development and changes during the experiment, taking into account the boundary constraint effect of non-fire-exposed parts on the fire-exposed structure, and more accurately simulating the fire response of the structure. In addition, this invention uses a hybrid simulation proxy model of structural fire response to predict the boundary displacement of the physical substructure. During the experiment, thermo-mechanical coupling analysis is not required, avoiding cumbersome finite element calculations, improving efficiency, and ensuring the real-time performance of numerical calculations.

[0062] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0063] Currently, there are still limiting factors in existing fire-resistant hybrid tests: (1) It is often assumed that only columns or parts of the substructure are in a fire-exposed state, and hybrid tests are carried out using these as physical substructures, ignoring the spread of fire. That is, the non-fire-exposed parts of the structure are also in a high-temperature state, which seriously affects the mechanical properties of the components and the boundary conditions of the physical substructure. (2) When the temperature effect is considered in the numerical substructure, thermo-mechanical coupling analysis needs to be carried out, which will seriously increase the calculation time and is not conducive to carrying out fire-resistant hybrid tests. (3) Existing fire-resistant hybrid tests are mainly based on static analysis, but after the fire occurs and develops, it will cause large nonlinearity in local components and generate dynamic effects.

[0064] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method and system for mixed structural fire testing.

[0065] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0066] See Figure 1 This invention provides a method for mixed structural fire testing, specifically including:

[0067] Step 1.1: Obtain the spatiotemporal distribution model of the temperature field of the physical structure; the spatiotemporal distribution model of the temperature field is used to predict the temperature of the physical substructure at the current moment; the physical structure includes several physical substructures;

[0068] Step 1.2: Obtain the structural fire response hybrid simulation proxy model; the structural fire response hybrid simulation proxy model is used to predict the boundary displacement of the physical substructure at the current moment based on the temperature of the physical substructure at the current moment and the boundary restoring force of the physical substructure at the previous moment;

[0069] Step 1.3: Using the predicted temperature of the physical substructure at the current moment as the target temperature, control the thermal environment simulation system to make the temperature in the thermal environment simulation system reach the target temperature;

[0070] Step 1.4: Take the predicted boundary displacement of the physical substructure at the current moment as the target displacement, and control the actuator to act on the physical substructure so that the physical substructure achieves the target displacement;

[0071] Step 1.5: Collect the boundary restoring force of the physical substructure at the current moment, and feed the boundary restoring force of the physical substructure at the current moment back to the structural fire response hybrid simulation proxy model in Step 1.2.

[0072] In fire tests, displacement is an important aspect of structural performance evaluation. This invention achieves the prediction of structural displacement through the above steps, and can obtain the mechanical performance degradation law of the structure under fire, providing a basis for establishing corresponding fire-resistant design methods.

[0073] See Figure 2 In some embodiments, the fire-resistant mixed test method may further include the following steps:

[0074] ① Determine the fire source temperature model according to the current "Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings";

[0075] ②At t k At any given moment, the established spatiotemporal distribution model of the temperature field is used to predict the temperature field of the structure at the current moment, and then the prediction is sent to the corresponding substructure.

[0076] ③ Under the structural temperature field predicted in step ②, the physical substructure t is used. k-1 The boundary restoring force at any given time is used to predict the displacement response of the structure through the established structural fire response hybrid simulation proxy model, and the boundary displacement of the physical substructure is sent to the physical experimental device.

[0077] ④ In the physical experimental setup, thermal boundary conditions and displacement boundary conditions are implemented. For the thermal boundary conditions, the temperature of the physical substructure predicted in step ② is used as the target quantity. A suitable temperature field controller (such as a proportional-integral controller) is used to make the temperature in the thermal environment simulation system equal to the target temperature.

[0078] For displacement boundary conditions, taking the predicted physical substructure boundary displacement in step ③ as the target, a suitable boundary coordination strategy is adopted to realize the target displacement on the physical substructure through an actuator; thus, the boundary restoring force of the physical substructure is obtained.

[0079] ⑤ Feedback the boundary restoring forces of the physical substructures to the hybrid simulation proxy model of structural fire response;

[0080] ⑥ Repeat steps ② to ⑤ until the simulation ends.

[0081] See Figure 3 In some embodiments, the spatiotemporal distribution model of the temperature field is established through a machine learning algorithm; the input of the spatiotemporal distribution model of the temperature field includes the location of the fire source, the time history of the fire source temperature, and structural information, the structural information including the floor height, span, beam and column cross-sectional dimensions, and window location; the output of the spatiotemporal distribution model of the temperature field includes the calculated temperatures of the high-temperature part and the fire-affected part of the structure.

[0082] In some embodiments, prior to establishing the spatiotemporal distribution model of the temperature field, the method further includes:

[0083] Establish a Cartesian coordinate system for the structure and record the fire source position h0;

[0084] Fire dynamics simulation tools were used to simulate the development process of structural fires, record the time history of fire source temperature, and the time history of fire temperature at key locations in the structure.

[0085] Based on the temperature distribution at the fire site and the high-temperature mechanical properties of the structural materials, the structure is divided into a normal temperature section, a high-temperature section, and a fire-affected section.

[0086] In some embodiments, the process of establishing the spatiotemporal distribution model of the temperature field may further include:

[0087] 1. Establish a Cartesian coordinate system for the structure and record the fire source position h0.

[0088] 2. Based on the principles of fire dynamics, the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) tool is used to obtain the development process of structural fire, record the time history of fire source temperature, and record the time history of fire temperature at key locations in the structure.

[0089] 3. Based on the temperature distribution at the fire scene and the high-temperature mechanical properties of the structural materials, the structure is divided into a normal temperature section, a high-temperature section, and a fire-affected section.

[0090] 4. Using the spatial-temporal distribution of structural fire field temperature obtained in step 2, and taking the fire source location, fire source temperature time history, and structural information as inputs, and the temperatures of calculation points in the high-temperature and fire-affected parts of the structure as outputs, establish a spatial-temporal distribution model of fire field temperature for the fire-affected and high-temperature parts. Machine learning algorithms such as LSTM, CNN, NARX, and support vector machines can be used, as well as Kriging models and multinomial models. An example of using the LSTM method to construct a spatial-temporal temperature distribution model is shown below. Figure 4 As shown.

[0091] See Figure 5 In some embodiments, the steps for establishing the structural fire response hybrid simulation proxy model specifically include:

[0092] Step 2.1: Obtain the influencing factors of the structural fire mixed test;

[0093] Step 2.2: Based on the aforementioned influencing factors, establish a spatiotemporal distribution model of the temperature field;

[0094] Step 2.3: Perform structural thermo-mechanical coupling analysis to obtain structural fire response and obtain a structural fire response database;

[0095] Step 2.4: Based on the aforementioned structural fire response database, iterative training is conducted using machine learning algorithms to obtain multiple surrogate models;

[0096] Step 2.5: Based on the multiple agent models, the final agent model is obtained by averaging the models.

[0097] In some embodiments, obtaining the influencing factors may specifically include:

[0098] Based on the actual situation, the uncertainties in physical experiments and numerical calculations during the implementation of the mixed experiment are analyzed, and the influencing factors of the structural response are obtained, such as the fire source temperature model, the fire source location, and the structural cross-sectional dimensions.

[0099] In some embodiments, step 2.2 specifically includes:

[0100] Based on the influencing factors, a sample space is established; an experimental design method is used to sample the sample space; and a corresponding spatiotemporal distribution model of the temperature field is established based on the sample points of different influencing factors.

[0101] In some embodiments, step 2.2 may further include:

[0102] Determine the levels of influencing factors to obtain the sample space of parameters;

[0103] Sampling was performed in the sample space using experimental design methods;

[0104] Different spatiotemporal distribution models of the temperature field were obtained for different sample points of influencing factors.

[0105] In some embodiments, step 2.4 may further include:

[0106] Different machine learning algorithms (such as LSTM, CNN, NARX, recurrent neural networks, etc.) are selected and iterative training is carried out to obtain multiple surrogate models m. i .

[0107] In some embodiments, the final proxy model M in step 2.5 is represented as follows:

[0108] M = w1m1 + w2m2 + ... + w p m p (1)

[0109] In the formula, M is the final model, m i and w i These are the i-th trained prediction model and its corresponding weights.

[0110] In some embodiments, the final surrogate model M for predicting the mixed experimental structure response in step 2.5 can also be represented as follows:

[0111] M = w1m1 + w2m2 + ... + w p m p =w T m, (2)

[0112] In the formula, M is the final model, m i and w i Let be the i-th trained prediction model and its corresponding weights, and w and m be the weight coefficient vector and model vector, respectively. The weight coefficient vector can then be obtained through optimization, specifically as follows:

[0113] w = min(yw) T m) T (yw T m), (3)

[0114] In the formula, y represents the measured structural fire response.

[0115] In some embodiments, the step of performing structural thermo-mechanical coupling analysis to obtain the structural fire response specifically includes:

[0116] Step 3.1: Based on the current temperature field of the structure, solve the governing equations to obtain the nodal displacements of the structure at the current moment;

[0117] Step 3.2: Based on the nodal displacements, perform linear static analysis on the elastic main structure to obtain the stress state of the structure at the current moment;

[0118] Step 3.3: Using the yield strength of the material as the criterion, if the stress of the structural member is greater than the yield strength, proceed to step 3.4; otherwise, proceed to step 3.5.

[0119] Step 3.4: Using a room-temperature refined numerical substructure model, perform static analysis directly based on the nodal displacements;

[0120] Step 3.5: Using the fire-affected and high-temperature numerical substructure models, and based on the current temperatures of the fire-affected and high-temperature numerical substructures and the nodal displacements, perform static analysis based on thermal stress analysis.

[0121] Step 3.6: Through the static analysis in Steps 3.4 and 3.5, the structural restoring force of the substructure at the current moment is obtained, and the nonlinear correction force of the substructure at the current moment is calculated based on the structural restoring force.

[0122] In some embodiments, the governing equations are specifically as follows:

[0123]

[0124] In the formula, K dyn The dynamic stiffness is denoted by F; F is the equivalent load. It is a nonlinear correction force;

[0125] K dyn F, The calculation formulas are as follows:

[0126]

[0127]

[0128]

[0129] In the formula, γ and δ are the adjustment parameters of the Newmark-β method, K is the structural stiffness matrix, Δt is the integration step size, k is the time step, R() is the structural restoring force, and F G Let T be the gravity load on the structure, d be the temperature, d be the nodal displacement, M be the mass matrix, and C be the mass matrix of the structure, W. kin The structural damping coefficient matrix is ​​determined by the following formula:

[0130]

[0131] In the formula, K is the structural stiffness matrix, ε is a very small positive number, η is the mass damping coefficient, and α and β are the mass and stiffness damping coefficients, respectively, which are calculated from the first two frequencies of the structure.

[0132] It should be noted that the governing equation shown in equation (4) is obtained by combining the static equilibrium of the structure with the dynamic relaxation method. The static-dynamic transformation during the fire occurrence and development process can be considered. That is, when the temperature of the physical substructure is lower than the critical temperature, it is equivalent to static analysis, avoiding iterative solution. As the temperature rises, after the dynamic effect is generated, the structural analysis is transformed from static to dynamic.

[0133] K in the governing equation (4) dyn The pseudo-dynamic stiffness and the equivalent load F are related to the selected step-by-step integration method. The nonlinear correction force is related to the boundary restoring force of the physical substructure and the nonlinear state of the numerical substructure. The above formulas (5), (6) and (7) are obtained by solving the pseudo-dynamic equations when the step-by-step integration method used is the Newmark-β method.

[0134] Furthermore, when a structure has not entered a nonlinear state, the formula (4) used to calculate the nodal displacements does not include a nonlinear correction force. Only after this structure enters a nonlinear state will the formula (4) used to calculate the nodal displacements have a nonlinear correction force.

[0135] In some embodiments, the governing equations are obtained from pseudo-dynamic equations using the Newmark-β method, and the pseudo-dynamic equations are as follows:

[0136]

[0137] In the formula, R() is the structural restoring force, and F G Let T be the gravity load on the structure, d be the temperature, d be the nodal displacement, M be the mass matrix, and C be the mass matrix of the structure, W. kin The determined structural damping coefficient matrix.

[0138] Structural restoring force includes boundary restoring force.

[0139] In some embodiments, the governing equations can also be obtained by solving the pseudo-dynamic equations using other stepwise integration methods (such as the central difference method).

[0140] See Figure 6 In some embodiments, the step of performing structural thermo-mechanical coupling analysis to obtain the structural fire response may further include:

[0141] 1. An elastic principal structure model is established in MATLAB to solve the overall structural response. A room-temperature refined numerical substructure model is established in OpenSees to analyze its static restoring force. Fire-exposed and high-temperature substructure models are established in ABAQUS to analyze their static restoring forces at high temperatures. Data exchange between different computing platforms is achieved through a TCP / IP-based socket communication mechanism. It should be noted that other computational analysis software can be used instead of MATLAB, OpenSees, and ABAQUS (Step 1 is an overview, which introduces which software is used and when it is used. For example, a room-temperature refined numerical substructure model is only established after the structure enters nonlinearity).

[0142] 2. Solve the control equations in MATLAB to obtain the nodal displacements of the overall structure. See the previous example for the specific process.

[0143] 3. Send the overall structural nodal displacements obtained from solving the governing equations to the elastic master structure in MATLAB to complete the linear static analysis.

[0144] 4. Using the material's yield strength as the criterion, determine if any new structural components have entered a nonlinear state. If the calculated stress of a component is greater than its yield strength, then a component has entered a nonlinear state. In this case, establish a room-temperature refined numerical substructure model in OpenSees and proceed to step 5; otherwise, if the calculated stress of a component is less than its yield strength, proceed to step 5.

[0145] 5. Substructure Analysis. Using both the fire source temperature model and the fire field temperature spatiotemporal distribution model, and taking the current time step and component position coordinates, the temperatures of the fire-affected numerical substructure and the high-temperature numerical substructure at the current moment are calculated. Thermal stress analysis is then performed in ABAQUS. The displacements corresponding to the boundary degrees of freedom of the physical substructure obtained from solving the governing equations are transmitted to the numerical model of the physical substructure in ABAQUS via a Socket communication mechanism.
