Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a bridge and ship impact simulation evaluation method and system, especially to a bridge and ship impact simulation evaluation method and system based on mixed reality technology. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of bridge and ship engineering, ensuring the safety and stability of structures in impact events such as ship collisions with bridges has been a long-standing challenge.

[0003] Traditional simulation evaluation methods rely on static calculation models and numerical analysis, which can predict the impact effect to some extent, but often lack realism and interactivity, making it difficult for engineers and decision-makers to intuitively understand the complexity of impact events and their actual impact on structural integrity.

[0004] After searching, the Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN213740832U discloses a debris flow simulation device for simulating debris flow impact on bridges, which includes a gantry support and an inclined slope. The upper and middle sections of the inclined slope are connected to the gantry support on both sides, and the lower end of the inclined slope is aligned with the pier of the bridge model. A mixing box is connected to the gantry support, and a flap is provided at the bottom of the mixing box. The outlet of the flap is opposite to the inclined slope, and a conveyor belt is provided on the inclined slope to match the slope. This device can simulate bridge impact, but has great limitations in evaluating and optimizing the impact resistance of structures, and cannot provide sufficient detailed data to support decision-making, especially when facing complex environmental conditions and variable impact angles, speeds, and other parameters.

[0005] In addition, the Chinese invention patent with authorization announcement number CN111829738B discloses a bridge bearing capacity lightweight evaluation method based on impact load, which uses a drop hammer to simulate impact load to load the bridge. Displacement sensors and acceleration sensors are used to measure the displacement time history curve and acceleration time history curve of the bridge control section. The extracted dynamic response is compared and analyzed with the theoretical calculation value to establish an evaluation index to evaluate the bearing capacity of the bridge. However, it cannot accurately simulate the dynamic response in the actual impact process, including the distribution of impact force, structural stress, and potential damage.

[0006] Therefore, how to provide a bridge and ship impact simulation evaluation method based on mixed reality technology is a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. SUMMARY

[0172] Using the deep neural network and multi-physics coupling calculation model, a large cargo ship directly impacting the pier at different speeds was simulated. The deep neural network model predicted the potential damage to the bridge structure, while the multi-physics coupling model provided detailed views of the impact force distribution, structural stress, and deformation.

[0173] During the simulation process, it was found that in a specific simulation impact event, when the ship collided with the pier at a speed of 15 nautical miles per hour, the safety factor of the specific pier was lower than the standard safety threshold, indicating that the bridge may suffer serious damage in this case.

[0174] After conducting dozens of simulation tests with different parameters, the data showed that in the case of a ship impact at 15 nautical miles per hour, the most severe structural stress was concentrated at the connection of the pier, with stress values reaching 150% of the material yield strength. The simulation results also showed that the maximum displacement caused by the impact force reached 5 cm, exceeding the design safety standard. Through the damage assessment of the deep learning model, it was predicted that under this impact condition, there was a 40% probability of moderate to severe structural damage to the bridge.

[0175] To verify the accuracy of the simulation results, a review of all bridge impact events that occurred in the past five years was conducted. Through comparative analysis, it was found that the simulation results were highly consistent with the actual impact events in terms of damage degree and location, proving the effectiveness and accuracy of the simulation method.

[0176] The present invention creates an environment that contains both real-world elements and highly realistic virtual simulations through the application of mixed reality technology, greatly improving the realism and interactivity of simulation evaluation. Users can directly manipulate the simulation environment, such as adjusting the impact angle and force, and observe the real-time changes in structural response, thereby gaining a deeper understanding of the impact of impact events.

[0177] The present invention combines deep neural networks with multi-physics coupling computational models to accurately simulate dynamic responses during impact, including impact force distribution, structural stress, and potential damage, providing detailed data support for bridge and ship design and maintenance.

[0178] The present invention can render the impact process in real time in a mixed reality environment, including visualization of structural deformation, stress distribution, and potential damage, improving the intuitiveness and interactivity of evaluation. By considering impact event parameters, environmental conditions, and structural material properties, comprehensive structural safety evaluation and maintenance recommendations can be provided.
