TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of measurement test technology, in particular to a kind of aircraft load bridge monitoring method and monitoring system based on microwave radar. BACKGROUND
[0002] The aircraft load bridge can be divided into taxiway bridge and runway bridge. In the airport, the aircraft operation may cross the airport internal and external traffic, river, etc., and the aircraft load bridge becomes a commonly used structure form, mainly bearing the aircraft load, to ensure the normal operation of the aircraft during take-off, landing and parking process.
[0003] The aircraft load bridge is an important part of airport infrastructure, and its structural state needs to be monitored and evaluated, and a warning signal is issued when its structural state deteriorates seriously, to ensure its safety and use performance in real time and effectively.
[0004] The basic connotation of bridge health monitoring is to monitor and evaluate the bridge structure condition, to issue a warning signal when the bridge is in special weather, traffic conditions or abnormal bridge operation condition, and to provide basis and guidance for bridge maintenance and management decision.
[0005] The traditional bridge detection largely depends on the experience of managers and technical personnel, lacks scientific and systematic methods, often lacks comprehensive understanding of the bridge condition, and the information cannot be fed back in time. If the bridge disease is underestimated, the best maintenance opportunity may be missed, the bridge damage process may be accelerated, and the service life of the bridge may be shortened. If the bridge disease is overestimated, unnecessary waste of funds will occur, and the bearing capacity of the bridge cannot be fully utilized. In addition, manual detection is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and with the rise of labor cost, it will become increasingly uneconomical.
[0006] Since the 1960s, due to the serious degradation of bridges in developed countries, the continuous occurrence of safety accidents and the severity of the consequences, engineering and technical personnel have actively explored bridge structure monitoring. In recent years, some large bridges in China have also designed and installed structural health monitoring systems, such as the Humen Bridge in Guangdong, the Dafosi Bridge in Chongqing, the Haikou Century Bridge, the Nanjing Sanqiao Bridge, the Jiangyin Bridge and the Runyang Yangtze River Bridge, as well as the structural health monitoring system of the Sutong Yangtze River Bridge.
[0007] However, the existing domestic and foreign bridge health monitoring systems still have the problems of being unable to effectively identify traffic load and being difficult to conveniently measure bridge deflection, and the existing bridge health monitoring systems are all for highway bridges, railway bridges or pedestrian bridges, and there is still no health monitoring system specially for aircraft load bridges. The aircraft load bridge still uses manual periodic detection and special detection methods, and the degree of automation and intelligence is low, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the detection results are greatly affected by subjective factors.

[0097] Example 2
[0098] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for monitoring aircraft loads on bridges based on microwave radar;
[0099] Simplify the aircraft as follows Figure 2 The aircraft model shown is simplified as a rigid body with mass m1 and moment of inertia J about its center of mass, with a distance l between its two axes. The masses of the wheels are m2 and m3, respectively. The interaction between the wheels and the ground, as well as the connection between the body and the wheels, are simulated using a spring-damped system. The stiffness and damping coefficients for the interaction between the wheels and the bridge deck are k1, c1 and k4, c4, respectively, and the stiffness and damping coefficients for the connection between the body and the wheels are k2, c2 and k3, c3, respectively. This model has eight degrees of freedom: vertical displacements y1 and y4 of the wheels, displacements z1 and z2 at the contact points between the wheels and the bridge deck, vertical displacements y2 and y3 at both ends of the body, and displacement and rotation angle y at the center of mass of the body. c, θ. Wherein z1, z2 and bridge displacement coupling, y c , θ as (2-1) formula can be represented by y3, y4:
[0100]
[0101] Therefore, the model is independent of four degrees of freedom, its displacement vector can be written as:
[0102] Y V = [y1 y2 y3 y4] Y (2-2) For each rigid body in the aircraft model force analysis, according to the d'Alembert principle can be listed in the aircraft vibration equation:
[0103]
[0104] The above formula for four degrees of freedom force balance equation, f1, f2, f3, f4 are four degrees of freedom on the size of the force.
[0105] For ease of programming, the equation is arranged in matrix form:
[0106] Wherein,
[0107]
[0108] From the load vector on the right side of (2-4) formula can be seen, the aircraft load contains due to bridge deformation caused by elastic force and damping force, the load component will be coupled with the aircraft vibration equation and bridge structure vibration equation, become a coupled vibration system.
[0109] (2) bridge model
[0110] The bridge structure is discretized, after discretization, the bridge dynamic equation can be written as:
[0111]
[0112] Wherein, The acceleration, velocity, displacement vector of the bridge structure, respectively. M B The mass matrix of the bridge structure, C B The damping matrix of the bridge structure, K B The stiffness matrix of the bridge structure. F B The load vector of the bridge structure, it includes two parts: one part is the force on the structure of the external environment (such as wind load, rain load, etc.), the other part is the node force of the aircraft on the bridge node. The external load in this project is 0.
[0113] c = a0M + β0K (2-6)
[0114] Rayleigh damping is used for the bridge structure. As shown in formula (2-6), the damping matrix of the structure is defined by two parameters, α0 and β0, as well as the stiffness matrix K and mass matrix M. α0 and β0 can be obtained from formulas (2-7) and (2-8):
[0115]
[0116] α0=2ε1ω 01 -β0ω 01 ω 01 (2-8)
[0117] Where, ω 01 ω 02 ∈1 and ∈2 represent the first and second natural frequencies of the structure, respectively. ∈1 and ∈2 represent the first and second modal damping of the structure, respectively.
[0118] (3) Bridge deck irregularity model
[0119] The unevenness of the bridge surface can excite moving aircraft, thereby altering their vibration state and causing random variations in wheel load. This effect cannot be ignored in the coupled vibration of the aircraft and the bridge; therefore, the influence of road surface irregularities should be considered in the analysis of coupled vibration of the aircraft and the bridge. Research results from relevant literature indicate that road surface irregularities on bridges can be described as a zero-mean stochastic process following a steady-state Gaussian distribution. The statistical characteristics of this stochastic process can be described by the power spectrum.
[0120]
[0121] In the formula, ω0 is the reference spatial frequency, taken as 0.1m. -1 ω is the spatial frequency, and S(ω0) is the power spectral density value at the reference spatial frequency.
[0122] Given the power spectrum of road surface irregularities, various methods can be used to simulate road surface irregularities, such as the trigonometric series superposition method, the quadratic filtering method, the AR model method, or the ARMA model method. The simulation of road surface irregularities using the trigonometric series superposition method is as follows:
[0123]
[0124] Δω=(ω u -ω l ) / N (2-13)
[0125] Where r(x) is the road surface irregularity sample function, α k Let ω be the amplitude of the cosine function. k It is located in the power spectral density defined range [ω l ωu ] the frequency of the road roughness. k is a random phase angle uniformly distributed between 0 and 2π, x is the local coordinate, which represents the distance from the left end of the bridge, N is the number of points of the simulated random roughness. S(ω k ) is the power spectral density function defined in the interval [ω l , ω u ] as a function of the spatial frequency of the road roughness:
[0126]
[0127] where α is the roughness coefficient, and the exponent β is taken as 1.94.
[0128] A program RP (Roadway Profile) for generating road roughness samples is developed by using the trigonometric series superposition method. Figure 3 are the sample curves of the road roughness on the bridge of the first, third and fifth grades, respectively, which correspond to the roughness of the bridge surface of the good, general and poor grades, respectively.
[0129] (4) Numerical analysis of the bridge-vehicle coupling vibration considering the roughness of the bridge surface
[0130] It is assumed that the aircraft is in direct contact with the bridge surface during the flight. The interaction force between the wheel and the bridge surface can be expressed as:
[0131]
[0132] where f i (t) is the interaction force between the i-th wheel and the bridge surface, k i is the stiffness of the i-th row of the bridge surface stiffness matrix K, c i is the roughness damping coefficient of the i-th wheel corresponding to the bridge surface, and the subscript i represents the contact point between the i-th wheel and the bridge surface. is the vertical acceleration of the i-th wheel at time t relative to the bridge surface, Δ i (t) is the vertical displacement of the i-th wheel at time t relative to the bridge surface, and its expression is:
[0133] Δ i (t) = y i (t) - z i (t) - r i
[0134] where y i (t) is the vertical displacement of the i-th wheel at time t, z i (t) is the vertical displacement of the bridge surface at time t at the contact point between the i-th wheel and the bridge surface, and r i is the sample value of the bridge surface roughness at the contact point between the i-th wheel and the bridge surface.
[0135] The aircraft vibration equation and the taxiway bridge equation are solved by the displacement of the contact point to establish the aircraft-taxiway bridge coupling vibration equation considering the road unevenness.
[0136]
[0137] The dynamic equations of the aircraft and the bridge are coupled by the coordination conditions that the displacements at the contact points of the wheels and the bridge surface are the same and the interaction forces are equal. Since the interaction forces between the aircraft and the bridge are related to the motion state of the aircraft and the deformation of the bridge, the two sets of coupled time-varying second-order differential equations need to be solved iteratively.
[0138] Obviously, the matrix equation is a time-varying equation that will change with the change of the wheel positions and the external load, and therefore needs to be solved by the step-by-step integration method.
[0139] There are mainly three methods for step-by-step integration: linear acceleration method, New-mark-β method and Wilson-0 method, which ignore the internal force imbalance of the time period, describe the initial time-varying characteristics at each time node, use the velocity and displacement of the seven points as the initial state of the next time period, and finally obtain the time history curve of the entire system.
