[0050] The present embodiment provides a life prediction method of a physical-based timing convolutional network, as shown in Figure 1 The method comprises the following steps:

[0051] Step S1: Degradation information of the metal rubber structure loss factor, the formula is as follows:

[0052]

[0053] In the formula, ΔW is the energy consumption of the metal rubber in a stress cycle, W is the maximum energy storage size of the metal rubber,

[0054] Step S2: According to the traditional dynamic model, a nonlinear elastic restoring force model, a nonlinear damping force model, and a hysteresis damping force model are constructed, and the hysteresis damping force is decomposed by using Chebyshev polynomial, the formula is as follows:

[0055]

[0056] In the formula, k 2i-1 is the 2i-1 order stiffness coefficient of the nonlinear elastic restoring force F k (y), y0 is the initial pre-pressing amount. c 2i-1 is the 2i-1 order damping coefficient of the nonlinear damping force , N2 is the maximum order of the nonlinear damping force. k s is the equivalent linear stiffness of the hysteresis damping force, y s is the equivalent maximum slip distance, z s is the memory restoring force when the metal wire slips, and sgn(*) is the sign equation.

[0057] Step S3: A damage factor is used to represent the damage degree of the metal rubber dynamic parameters, the formula is as follows:

[0058]

[0059] In the formula, is the tangent modulus of the metal rubber for the Nth cycle, is the initial tangent modulus of the metal rubber.

[0060] Step S4: Since the metal rubber kinetic damage is a coupling effect of multiple kinetic parameter damage factors, considering only the change trend of a single kinetic damage factor cannot effectively reflect the degree of metal rubber fatigue damage. Therefore, it is necessary to couple multiple kinetic parameter damage factors to construct a metal rubber kinetic comprehensive damage factor, and its formula is as follows:

[0061] d s = P i d i (4)

[0062] In the formula, d s is the comprehensive damage factor, d i is the damage factor of each kinetic parameter, and P i is the contribution rate of each kinetic damage factor.

[0063] Step S5: The mean value of the metal rubber comprehensive damage factor is fitted by a two-parameter Weibull function, and its formula is as follows:

[0064]

[0065] In the formula: N is the number of cycles, λ and β are parameters related only to the loading condition and the properties of the metal rubber, and λ and β are regarded as to-be-identified parameters.

[0066] Step S6: Based on the Weibull damage function, a physical information loss function is constructed by combining the mean square error function, and its formula is as follows:

[0067]

[0068] In the formula, y i is the true life label, is the predicted life label.

[0069] Step S7: The remaining useful life (RUL) is constructed to represent the fatigue life of the metal rubber (the label of the data), and its formula is as follows:

[0070] RUL(N) = N0-N (7)

[0071] In the formula, λ is a hyperparameter. y i is the true life label, is the predicted life label.

[0072] Step S8: The physical information of the metal rubber degradation constructed in steps 1 and 2 is introduced into the input layer of the physical information-time sequence convolution network, and the physical information loss function constructed in step 6 is taken as the hybrid loss function of the network, and finally the construction of the physical information-time sequence convolution network is completed.

[0073] In this embodiment, 10 groups of metal rubber materials are subjected to cyclic load fatigue test. The test system mainly comprises a hydraulic station, a universal testing machine and a data acquisition system, and the test tooling is as shown in Figure 2 The 304 stainless steel is used to prepare a ring-shaped metal rubber sample with an outer diameter of 20 mm, an inner diameter of 9 mm, a height of 16 mm, and a density of 1.25 g / cm 3 The preparation process parameters are shown in Table 1. The upper clamp is driven to input a sinusoidal displacement excitation displacement with a frequency of 10 Hz and an amplitude of 1 mm to perform a fatigue test on the metal rubber sample. The data acquisition is performed in an interval sampling manner, and the test data is collected once every 2000 stress cycle periods. The sampling frequency of the test is set to 2560.

[0074] Table 1 Properties and preparation parameters of metal rubber

[0075]

[0076] The data of the test set is substituted into the three models for prediction comparison. The prediction accuracy R 2 of the Weibull model is 0.405, and the R 2 of the TCN model is only 0.2181. The prediction accuracy of the TCN model is reduced by 18.7%, which is because the TCN model is a pure data prediction method for predicting the remaining life of the metal rubber. This method has a great dependence on the quality and quantity of data. In the case of a small data set (set only 10 groups), the prediction of the TCN model is difficult to achieve the desired effect, and the fitting effect is even worse than that of the traditional model. The R 2 of the PI-TCN model is 0.967, which is improved by 56.2% compared with the traditional Weibull model.

[0077] Table 2 Comparison of training results of three prediction methods

[0078]

[0079] The PI-TCN model can greatly reduce the training loss value within 50 steps, while the TCN model needs more than 50 steps to reduce the training of the model. In the initial cycle load period, the fitting result of the Weibull model is closer to the true value, but as the cycle load time increases, the fitting result begins to deviate from the true value, and the overall prediction result of the Weibull model is higher than the actual value. The prediction result of the TCN model also deviates significantly from the true value of the metal rubber damage, and the prediction accuracy of the PI-TCN model is higher, and the range is up and down around the true value, as shown in Figure 3 .

[0080] The significance of the physical information features in the PI-TCN model is analyzed, the channel information model is established in the training network model, and the channel-dimension heat map is generated. The heat map can effectively represent the correlation between the dimension information and the channel. When the correlation of the dimension information in the channel is higher, the normalized value of the region tends to 1, and when the correlation of the dimension information in the channel is lower, the normalized value of the region tends to 0. Only feature 26 in the physical information feature information has low correlation with all channels, and the remaining physical features have high correlation in the channel, and the correlation of the first-order stiffness degradation information (feature 21) is the highest, as shown in Figure 4 .

[0081] Further study the influence of physical information in the convolution layer, select the input layer as the input and the middle convolution layer as the output, train the model and draw the heat map of the convolution dimension and the channel, the PI-TCN model improves the convolution feature dimension and the number of channels, and the number of convolution features with correlation increases from 7 to 8, and the number of channels also increases by one (channel 1), as shown in Figure 5 . This is because the hybrid loss function can increase the spatial boundary constraint after convolution processing, which can optimize the convolution features, increase the correlation between the convolution features and the channels, and finally optimize the output space and improve the prediction result of the model.

[0082] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and any changes and modifications made within the scope of the application should be included in the scope of the application.
