Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of ship testing technology, and specifically relates to a method for determining the structural characteristic parameters of a scaled-down test model of a fully elastic hull, electronic equipment, test model, and test method. Background Technology

[0002] In existing ship hydrodynamic model tests, the hull is typically considered a rigid body, making it impossible to directly measure the wave loads experienced by the hull section during the test. To obtain the wave loads on the hull section, a segmented model method is commonly used. This involves cutting the hull at multiple transverse sections to create multiple segmented models, which are then connected by a steel beam. The segmented loads are calculated by measuring the strain of the steel beam, or by using multi-component force sensors to connect the various segments and directly measure the forces on the section. However, the fabrication, assembly, parameter simulation, and waterproofing of this segmented model are quite complex, often resulting in low accuracy of the measurement results. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this disclosure proposes a method for determining the structural characteristic parameters of a scaled-down fully elastic ship hull test model. This method involves determining the parameters for multiple cross-sections of the ship hull test model. Longitudinal strain monitoring points were set up with longitudinal strain sensors, and the coordinates of each sensor in the centroidal coordinate system of the transverse section were recorded. Uniform variable load tests and inclination tests were conducted on the hull test model in still water to obtain the strain changes at the strain monitoring points of the hull test model under different working conditions. Using the draft, loaded weight, and loading position data recorded from the uniform variable load and inclination tests as input, hydrostatic analysis was performed to obtain the vertical and transverse bending moment differences of the hull test model under different working conditions. The structural characteristic parameters of the hull test model's transverse section, including vertical bending stiffness and transverse bending stiffness, were calculated. Here, "fully elastic" refers to the method used in scaled-down hull model tests that can comprehensively simulate and measure the elastic response of the hull structure under different stress states. This method ensures that the test results accurately reflect the performance of the actual hull at all scales.

[0004] One aspect of this disclosure is a method for determining the structural characteristic parameters of a scaled-down test model of a fully elastic hull, comprising the following steps:

Then, the scaled-down hull model was subjected to uniform variable load testing, so that the draft around the scaled-down hull model changed uniformly until multiple preset target waterlines were reached. The loaded weight, loading position data, strain values ​​measured by the longitudinal strain sensor, and draft at several locations around the scaled-down hull model were recorded.

[0011] (b) to proceed The scaled-down hull model was subjected to inclination tests. The scaled-down hull model was placed in still water and finely adjusted to the initial waterline. The loaded weight, loading position data, strain values ​​measured by the longitudinal strain sensor, and draft at several locations around the scaled-down hull model were recorded. Then, the scaled-down hull model was subjected to variable loads, causing multiple different longitudinal and transverse heels. The loaded weight, loading position data, strain values ​​measured by the longitudinal strain sensor, and draft at several locations around the scaled-down hull model were recorded.

[0012] Furthermore, the scaled-down test model of the hull has at least four peripheral positions, distributed on the left front, right front, left rear, and right rear of the model.

[0022] The above and other objects, features, and advantages of exemplary embodiments of the present invention will become readily apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Several embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the drawings by way of example and not limitation, wherein:

[0023] Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for determining structural characteristic parameters of a scaled-down test model of a fully elastic hull according to one embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0024] To address the problems in the prior art, this disclosure employs a scaled-down test model of a fully elastic hull, namely a hull model capable of generating measurable strain at the scale of a water tank test. Using this hull model, wave loads can be inverted by directly measuring the structural strain of the hull model. This model has advantages such as simple simulation and multiple measurable profiles.

[0025] However, the material properties, plate thickness, and manufacturing process of the model can all cause deviations between the structural characteristics of the hull model and the design values, thus affecting the accuracy of the inverse calculation of the cross-sectional wave load. Therefore, it is crucial to determine the structural characteristic parameters of the test model to ensure reliable test data on the hull cross-sectional wave load, thereby providing an important basis for ship design, operation, and maintenance.

[0026] Current literature commonly uses methods for correcting structural characteristic parameters of ship hull models, often employing the Bayes method for predicting structural characteristic parameters or simulating and correcting the structure using a finite element model established based on the initial design parameters of the ship test model. However, once the ship model is put into testing, it is difficult to directly measure the model's material or structural parameters. Therefore, for ship hull model testing, there is an urgent need for a practical and feasible method for determining the structural characteristic parameters of the test model.

Record the loaded weight, loading position data, strain value measured by the longitudinal strain sensor, and the draft at several positions around the scaled-down hull test model. Then, uniformly vary the load on the scaled-down hull test model so that the draft around the scaled-down hull test model changes uniformly until multiple preset target waterlines are reached. Record the loaded weight, loading position data, strain value measured by the longitudinal strain sensor, and the draft at several positions around the scaled-down hull test model.

[0034] (b) Conduct inclination tests on N sets of scaled-down hull test models. Place the scaled-down hull test model in still water and fine-tune it to the initial waterline. Record the loaded weight, loading position data, strain values ​​measured by the longitudinal strain sensor, and the draft at several positions around the scaled-down hull test model. Then, apply variable loads to the scaled-down hull test model to produce multiple different longitudinal and transverse heels. Record the loaded weight, loading position data, strain values ​​measured by the longitudinal strain sensor, and the draft at several positions around the scaled-down hull test model.
