Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of welding data expansion, and in particular to a method for enhancing fatigue data of a welded structure. Background Art

[0002] Machine learning has developed into an effective method for fatigue life prediction. However, due to the long cycle and high cost of variable amplitude loading fatigue tests, it is difficult to obtain a large number of reliable training samples, resulting in insufficient basic data samples for predicting fatigue life. Most of the fatigue data obtained by the model in the existing technology are fatigue data under constant amplitude load. However, in actual engineering, welded structures are mostly in a variable amplitude load environment, and fatigue data are complex and discrete. If the prediction of fatigue life is only based on fatigue data under constant amplitude load, the fatigue life prediction results will be inaccurate. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to overcome the technical problems in the prior art that fatigue data sample size is low and the existing model has poor data expansion effect, the present invention provides a method for enhancing fatigue data of a welded structure.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to achieve the above-mentioned purpose is: a method for enhancing fatigue data of a welded structure, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:

[0005] S1: Establish a fatigue data set for welded structures;

[0006] S2: Based on the constructed welded structure fatigue dataset, the improved CTGAN generation model is used for data augmentation;

[0007] S3: normalize the expanded data;

[0008] S4: Obtain fatigue data of the enhanced welded structure.

[0009] Preferably, the establishment of the welding structure fatigue data set in step S1 specifically includes: obtaining fatigue test data of welding machine fatigue analysis institutions and enterprises, conducting laboratory fatigue tests, and obtaining welding structure test data under variable amplitude loads. The welding structure fatigue data set includes the first-level stress level σ1 and the second-level stress level σ2, and the fatigue life N under the first-level stress level f1 and fatigue life N at the second stress level f2 , the number of cycles under the first stress level n 1p and the number of cycles n at the second stress level 2p .

[0010] Preferably, in step S2, using the improved CTGAN generation model to perform data expansion includes the following steps:

[0011] S201: The Peng model in the cumulative damage model is embedded into the loss function of the CTGAN generation model. After embedding, the total loss function expression of the CTGAN generation model is:

[0012] L generator =L adversarial +L discrete +L mmd +L physics

[0013] Among them, L generator is the total loss function, L adversarial To combat the loss function, L discrete is the discrete column loss function, L mmd is the MMD loss function, L physics is the physical loss function;

[0021] S203: Filter out fatigue data with the same stress level as the welded structure fatigue data set from the data output by the improved CTGAN generation model, i.e., σ 1m =σ1,σ2m = σ2, and improve the CTGAN generation model to generate σ 1m , σ 2m 、n 1m 、n 2m Insert the corresponding fatigue life N under the first stress level into the data f1 , fatigue life at the second stress level N f2 , get the complete expanded data σ1, σ2, N f1 、N f2 、n 1m 、n 2m .

[0023]

[0024] Among them, x new is the normalized data, x is the data before normalization, and x max is the maximum value in the data, x min is the minimum value in the data.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention embeds the Peng model in the damage model into the loss function of the CTGAN generation model to obtain an improved CTGAN generation model, which can account for data under variable amplitude loads and obtain fatigue data that is closer to the actual working conditions. It reduces the complexity of collecting fatigue data in the prior art, so that a large amount of fatigue data close to the actual working conditions can be obtained through a small part of fatigue data, thereby enhancing the accuracy of fatigue life prediction results.
