Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of environmental engineering, and particularly relates to a method for classifying exposure environmental factors of equipment. BACKGROUND
[0002] Equipment will be subjected to adverse effects of external climate, chemical and other environmental factors during service. To study such effects, a corresponding environmental spectrum needs to be established. The environmental spectrum is an important input for environmental adaptability examination and verification, life determination and life extension of equipment, and is based on different types of environmental data, and gives the action value, action time, action frequency and proportion of environmental factors that have significant effects on equipment, and quantitatively describes the environmental action process of equipment in a mission cycle through statistical and conversion methods.
[0003] The action value in the environmental spectrum represents the case that the equipment is subjected to extreme environmental action, but the environmental data used for compiling the environmental spectrum usually does not include the extreme state, so it is necessary to extrapolate and calculate the action value corresponding to the extreme state by using environmental prediction methods. Due to the difference in the region where the equipment is located, the corresponding environmental factors constituting the environmental spectrum are also different, and the mutual influence between different environmental factors cannot be ignored. For example, sand dust and corrosion medium in the air are two environmental factors that do not affect each other, and can be predicted separately; however, for relative humidity, it is significantly affected by solar radiation and temperature, solar radiation can cause temperature rise, temperature rise can cause the increase of saturated vapor pressure of humid air, and then cause the decrease of relative humidity, so the prediction of relative humidity needs to consider the three environmental factors comprehensively. However, for multiple environmental factors with strong coupling, the key prerequisite for carrying out environmental prediction is to clarify the cause-and-effect relationship between each environmental factor, so as to accurately define the input and output parameters in the environmental prediction model, otherwise it will lead to difficulty in solving the prediction model or calculation divergence, and the error of the prediction result is large, which cannot support the compilation of the environmental spectrum. SUMMARY
[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present application provides a method for classifying exposure environmental factors of equipment, which can firstly evaluate the coupling degree of environmental factors in the environmental spectrum by using directed graph theory, and then establish the hierarchical relationship of each factor by using attribution analysis method, so as to provide a basis for subsequent selection of appropriate environmental prediction method and determination of prediction model input and output.

[0032] Exemplary embodiments, features and aspects of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numerals in the drawings represent functionally the same or similar elements. Although various aspects of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated.
[0033] Specifically, the present application provides an equipment exposure environmental factor classification method, which comprises the following steps:
[0034] S1, according to the environmental profile of the equipment life cycle, combining the composition structure and functional performance requirements of the equipment, screening the environmental factors which have significant influence and effect on the equipment, and determining N types of natural environmental factors constituting the environmental spectrum of the equipment.
[0035] The equipment life cycle environmental profile refers to a profile composed of the environment and environmental combination / integration and its time sequence description experienced by the equipment. The environmental effect refers to a phenomenon that the equipment performance is degraded or lost due to fatigue, wear, corrosion, aging, performance degradation or degradation of materials, components and structural parts of the equipment under various single or integrated / combined environmental effects during the life cycle of the equipment.
[0036] In a specific application, the determination process is based on the environmental effect of the equipment, for example, the equipment is composed of electronic components and is therefore more sensitive to temperature and humidity; the equipment is composed of metal materials and is therefore sensitive to corrosive media; the equipment is composed of rubber, plastic and other polymer materials and is therefore sensitive to solar radiation.
[0037] The environmental factors are temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, wind, sand and dust, and acidic media in the atmosphere.
[0038] S2, based on the physical mechanism of forming each environmental factor, a causal analysis is performed between all environmental factors in the environmental spectrum, and the causal relationship between the environmental factors is obtained, and the analysis criteria are as follows:
[0039] When the change of a certain environmental factor A can simultaneously cause the change of a certain environmental factor B and the change of the environmental factor B cannot cause the change of the environmental factor A, i.e. only the change of one of the environmental factors can cause the change of the other environmental factor, it is determined that the environmental factor A is the cause and the environmental factor B is the effect, and a one-way symbol is used to represent; when the change of the environmental factor A simultaneously causes the change of the environmental factor B and the change of the environmental factor B simultaneously causes the change of the environmental factor A, i.e. when the two environmental factors change, they can cause the change of the other, it is determined that the two environmental factors are cause and effect of each other, and a two-way symbol is used to represent.
[0040] S3, according to the causal relationship between the environmental factors determined in step S2, a directed graph G=(N, E) of N types of environmental factors is constructed, wherein: E represents the sum of the causal relationships between the environmental factors, wherein the one-way symbol is counted as 1, and the two-way symbol is counted as 2.
[0041] S4, the coupling degree CD of the N types of environmental factors is represented by the density of the count of the directed compliance representing the causal relationship of the environmental factors in the directed graph G, when the two-way symbol is used to represent the causal relationship between the environmental factors, at this time, the coupling degree of the N types of environmental factors is the highest, the sum of the causal relationships is expressed by the permutation formula , therefore, the calculation formula of the coupling degree CD is defined as:
[0042] ;
[0043] S5, set b value as a critical threshold value representing coupling tightness, when b < CD, the N-class environment factor set is tightly coupled, otherwise it is loosely coupled. If the judgment result is tight coupling, go to the next step. If it is judged as loose coupling, the input and output of the environment data are relatively clear, and the input of the environment factor prediction model can be directly predicted.
[0044] In specific applications, the coupling degree is distinguished by numerical values 0 and 1. When the numerical value is closer to 1, it indicates that each environment factor tends to be tightly coupled, and the coupling degree is high. When the numerical value is close to 0, it indicates that each environment factor tends to be weakly coupled, and the coupling degree is low. If it is judged that the environment factors are tightly coupled, the next step is performed.
[0045] S6, when the N-class environment factor set is tightly coupled, a relationship matrix A between the environment factors is established, wherein the matrix element represents that the environment factor has a direct impact on the environment factor . represents that the environment factor has no impact on the environment factor .
[0046] S7, calculate the adjacency matrix , the calculation formula of the adjacency matrix is:
[0047] ;
[0048] Wherein, A is the relationship matrix, I is the unit matrix; in specific applications, the unit matrix I refers to a matrix with the same size as the relationship matrix and diagonal elements of 1 and other elements of 0.
[0049] S8, calculate the power of the adjacency matrix until convergence, obtain the reachable matrix R; according to the reachable matrix R, decompose the N-class environment factors into different levels, and establish the hierarchical structure diagram of the N-class environment factors. In the hierarchical structure diagram of the N-class environment factors, the environment factors in the next layer are the reasons for the environment factors in the last layer, and the top layer is the total target, that is, the next layer environment factors are independent variables, and the last layer environment factors are dependent variables; in specific applications, the attribution analysis method is used to analyze the structure of all environment factors, establish the hierarchical relationship of all environment factors, and clarify the input-output relationship between all environment factors.
[0050] S9, according to the hierarchical structure diagram of the N-class environment factors, when predicting a certain environment factor, all environment factors under the environment factor and having a connection with the environment factor are taken as the input of the environment prediction model, and the environment data samples corresponding to the input are used to solve the prediction model parameters and output as the environment prediction result.

If the result of the judgment is tight coupling, the next step is entered. If the result of the judgment is loose coupling, the input of the environment factor prediction model can be directly predicted because the input and output of the environment data are relatively clear. The relation matrix construction unit is used to establish a relation matrix A between the environment factors; the adjacency matrix calculation unit is used to calculate an adjacency matrix ; the reachable matrix calculation unit is used to calculate a reachable matrix R, and according to the reachable matrix R, the N types of environment factors are decomposed into different levels to establish a hierarchical structure diagram of the N types of environment factors.

[0056] S2, define 6 types of environmental factors as F1~F6. Based on the physical mechanism of forming each environmental factor, the causal analysis between all N types of environmental factors in the environmental spectrum is carried out, as follows
[0057] a) solar radiation will cause temperature rise, use "F1 " to represent;
[0058] b) temperature, solar radiation, relative humidity and wind speed change will cause sand dust concentration change, use "F1 ", "F2 ", "F3 ", "F4 " to represent;

[0075] The measured data is used to train the network, and the number of iterations is set to 10000. With the increase of training times, the gradient of cost function decreases rapidly, and when the network training is completed, it has decreased to 0.1, at this time the learning rate is 0.01, which has reached a small value. The mean square error of training is 2.62.
[0076] Select environmental data that does not participate in modeling to verify the accuracy of the model. The external atmospheric temperature, external relative humidity and cabin air temperature are input, and the relative humidity in the cockpit is output.
