Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of functional gradient material design, and particularly relates to a multi-dimensional functional gradient material optimization design method, device, equipment and medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] Functional gradient material (FGM) is a new type of non-uniform composite material, which is usually composed of two or more materials, and the material composition gradually changes in space, with locally customized performance. It is widely used in aerospace, automotive, biomedical and military applications. In many complex service environments, one-dimensional FGM (1D-FGM) is often difficult to meet the service requirements. For example, the propulsion system and fuselage of modern aerospace aircraft usually operate in a high-temperature environment that changes in three directions, and the one-way change of material and performance of traditional 1D-FGM is difficult to meet these harsh service environments. In order to solve this problem, multi-dimensional functional gradient material (3D-FGM) is proposed, which has a smooth change in material performance in the pre-defined direction of the structure space, and by specifying the material composition at a specific location within the structure domain, a specific performance can be achieved.

[0003] In order to better design multi-dimensional functional gradient materials and obtain the best material and shape distribution according to application requirements, using an optimization algorithm is an effective method. Multi-objective meta-heuristic optimization algorithms have recently been considered as a robust and reliable method to solve various complex optimization problems, such as non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II, NSGA-III), multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO), multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA) and multi-objective artificial bee colony algorithm (MOABC), etc. Due to their superior performance, these algorithms have begun to be gradually applied to the multi-objective optimization of MFGM. However, with the increasing complexity of multi-field coupling performance analysis of multi-dimensional functional gradient materials and the increasing requirement for numerical solution accuracy, the required amount of calculation and the length of calculation time significantly increase, which seriously limits the multi-objective optimization work of multi-dimensional functional gradient materials. Specifically, a large number of performance calculations need to be performed in the optimization algorithm, which will result in a very long optimization time, making it difficult to run in practice. Therefore, the multi-objective optimization algorithm in the prior art can only be used for optimization design of functional gradient materials with low design dimension and few design variables, and cannot effectively optimize multi-dimensional functional gradient materials.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a multi-dimensional functional gradient material optimization design method, device, equipment and medium, which reduces the amount of calculation and the length of calculation time required for performance calculation in the optimization algorithm, and realizes rapid and accurate optimization design of multi-dimensional functional gradient materials.

[0065] ;

[0066] .

[0067] In the premise of one-dimensional B-spline basis function, the weight value is introduced to obtain one-dimensional NURBS basis function, and the NURBS basis function in the embodiment of the application is a three-dimensional basis function, which can be constructed by tensor product of one-dimensional NURBS basis function.

[0068] Compared with the prior art, the multi-dimensional functionally graded material optimization design method provided in the embodiment of the application applies the trained complete material performance prediction model to the solving process of the multi-objective function, does not need the multi-objective optimization algorithm to perform numerical calculation on the total mass and the free vibration base frequency, improves the determination efficiency of the total mass and the free vibration base frequency, reduces the data amount in the multi-objective optimization algorithm, speeds up the multi-objective optimization process, and then can realize the fast and reliable optimization design of the multi-dimensional functionally graded material with high design dimension and many design variables, solves the shortcomings of slow performance prediction speed, low design dimension, small design freedom, and performance limitation of the current FGM, and ensures that the multi-dimensional functionally graded material meets the application requirements in the fields of aerospace, automobile machinery, military defense and the like.

[0069] In some embodiments of the application, the multi-dimensional functionally graded material is composed of two materials, specifically, the multi-dimensional functionally graded material is composed of a metal phase material and a ceramic phase material, and the multi-objective optimization function is:

[0070]

[0071]

[0072] In the formula, is the total mass; is the material volume fraction of the ceramic phase material at the jth control point; is the thickness of the jth control point; is the volume fraction of the ceramic phase material at any point in space; is the density of the ceramic phase material; is the mass density of the metal phase material at room temperature; is the total volume of the multi-dimensional functionally graded material, which is related to the thickness; is the dimensionless free vibration base frequency; is the first order natural frequency of free vibration; is the side length of the square multi-dimensional functionally graded material; is the elastic modulus of the metal phase material at room temperature; is the Poisson's ratio of the metal phase material at room temperature; is the initial thickness of the square multidimensional functionally gradient material; is the non-uniform rational B-spline basis function; n x m x l is the total number of control points.

[0073] It should be noted that: , is the volume fraction of the metallic phase material at any point in space.

[0074] Specifically, the material volume fraction can be obtained by interpolation of NURBS basis functions.

[0075] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the multi-dimensional functional gradient material is constructed based on the NURBS basis function. L = 1m square plate, the initial thickness of the plate h 0 is =0.1m, such as Figure 2 (a) and Figure 2 (b) shown.

[0076] In order to further improve the optimization efficiency of the multi-objective optimization function and the accuracy of the determined optimization parameters, in some embodiments of the present invention, at least one constraint condition is set to constrain the optimization process of the multi-objective optimization function. Specifically, the constraint condition of the multi-objective optimization function is:

[0077]

[0078] Where, is the total material volume fraction of the ceramic phase material; is the element stiffness matrix; is the element thermal stiffness matrix related to temperature; is the unit mass matrix; is the unit displacement vector.

[0079] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the multi-objective optimization algorithm of the multi-objective optimization function is NSGA-III.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, the multidimensional functionally gradient material is a centrally symmetrical pattern, and the boundary conditions applied to the multidimensional functionally gradient material are also centrally symmetrical, such as Figure 2 (a) and 2(b), the multidimensional functionally gradient material is a square plate. The boundary conditions are that the four sides of the plate are fixed, and a uniform temperature is applied to the upper surface of the plate, while the lower surface is at a uniform room temperature. That is, the optimized material volume fraction and optimized thickness are also symmetric about the center.

[0081] Then Figure 2 As shown in (c), the multidimensional functional gradient material can be divided into a target sub-region (Design Area) and three mirror sub-regions symmetrical to the target sub-region.

[0082] In this premise, in order to further reduce the amount of calculation and improve the efficiency of the optimization design of the multi-dimensional functionally graded material, in some embodiments of the present application, the multi-objective optimization function is a function corresponding to the target sub-region, as shown in Figure 3 The optimization design method of the multi-dimensional functionally graded material comprises the following steps:

[0085] The embodiments of the present application can reduce the calculation amount by one fourth or even one eighth in the optimization process by only optimizing the target sub-region, and the mirror material volume fraction and the target thickness of the other three mirror sub-regions through the three mirror symmetry activities, thereby greatly reducing the calculation amount and further improving the optimization design efficiency.

[0086] As can be seen from the above description, the input of the material performance prediction model is the material volume fraction and the thickness of each control point, and the output is the total mass and the free vibration fundamental frequency, therefore, the sample set includes a plurality of sample data, and the sample data includes the material volume fraction, the thickness, the total mass reference value and the free vibration fundamental frequency reference value; in some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 The step S102 of constructing the sample set comprises the following steps:

[0088] S402, determining the spatial thermal field of the multi-dimensional functionally graded material based on high-throughput parallel geometric analysis;

[0089] S403, determining the total mass reference value and the free vibration fundamental frequency reference value of the multi-dimensional functionally graded material based on the spatial thermal field.

[0090] In the step S402 of determining the spatial thermal field, the equivalent material properties of the multi-dimensional functionally graded material are required, and the specific equivalent material properties include but are not limited to the elastic modulus, the Poisson's ratio, the thermal conductivity and the thermal expansion coefficient, and specifically:

[0116] The strain can be represented as follows by using the displacement of the material point:

[0126] For the free vibration problem in thermal environment, it is assumed that the temperature of each location of the multi-dimensional functionally graded material in the initial state is 300 K. The temperature boundary condition is applied, and the heat transfer process will be carried out until equilibrium is reached. The rise in temperature will cause the multi-dimensional functionally graded material to produce thermal expansion and initial internal stress, and the strain energy caused by the initial thermal stress can be written as:

[0137] The weak form governing equation of steady heat transfer in a multi-dimensional functionally graded material can be written as:

[0139]

[0140]

[0141]

[0142] where, is the temperature vector of each control point in the multi-dimensional functionally graded material unit .

[0143] It is worth noting that the thermal conductivity in this equation is also a function of temperature, and the change in temperature will lead to the change in thermal conductivity . Therefore, an iterative method is needed to solve this equation.

[0144] The iterative process mainly includes: first, initialize the temperature field, then use the temperature field to calculate the thermal conductivity of the material , and solve the temperature field according to the governing equation. Iterative calculation is carried out until the convergence evaluation criterion of the temperature vector and is less than the set tolerance, and the final temperature field vector is obtained, that is, the temperature thermal field distribution.

[0155] In the formula, is a volume domain is obtained after the volume domain is divided into a plurality of units.

[0156] Solving the above equation can obtain the free vibration fundamental frequency and the total mass.

[0157] By changing the material volume fraction and the plate thickness at the control points, the boundary conditions, the initial temperature field, and the shape of the geometric model, the above process is cycled until a required number of training samples are obtained to generate the sample set.

[0158] In specific embodiments of the present application, the sample set includes 20,000 groups of data.

[0159] To further ensure the model performance of the material performance prediction model, in some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 5 the determination process of the material performance prediction model in step S102 is as follows:

[0163] In the training process of the initial material performance prediction model, the loss function used is the mean square error (MSE) function.

[0164] Specifically, the preset ratio is 8:2.

[0165] It should be noted that the index used in the verification process is the coefficient of determination R 2 . The expression is specifically as follows:

[0170] Among them, the activation function of the activation function layer is the RELU function.

[0171] In specific embodiments of the present application, step S103 obtains the Pareto frontier, so that the representative elite solutions in the Pareto frontier can be uniformly selected for result visualization. From the drawn material distribution cloud map and the sample geometric model structure, the characteristics of the optimization results under different optimization objectives, constraint conditions, boundary conditions, initial temperature field, load conditions and other factors are extracted, and the influence law of the material distribution mode and the sample geometric model on the 3D-FGM macroscopic performance is analyzed.

[0172] Specifically, taking a square plate with fixed boundary conditions on all sides and a uniform temperature of 500K applied to the upper surface as an example, the material volume fraction and thickness distribution visualization results of the ceramic phase material on the representative elite are shown in Figure 7 , there are 8 representative elites, Figure 7 (a) is the material volume fraction and thickness of the ceramic phase material corresponding to the dimensionless free vibration base frequency of 5.1080 and the total mass of 524.86kg, Figure 7 (b) is the material volume fraction and thickness of the ceramic phase material corresponding to the dimensionless free vibration base frequency of 4.9901 and the total mass of 491.96kg, Figure 7 (c) is the material volume fraction and thickness of the ceramic phase material corresponding to the dimensionless free vibration base frequency of 4.8921 and the total mass of 470.95kg, Figure 7 (d) is the material volume fraction and thickness of the ceramic phase material corresponding to the dimensionless free vibration base frequency of 4.7942 and the total mass of 460.16kg, Figure 7 (e) is the material volume fraction and thickness of the ceramic phase material corresponding to the dimensionless free vibration base frequency of 4.7304 and the total mass of 451.97kg, Figure 7 (f) is the material volume fraction and thickness of the ceramic phase material corresponding to the dimensionless free vibration base frequency of 4.6062 and the total mass of 440.25kg, Figure 7 (g) is the material volume fraction and thickness of the ceramic phase material corresponding to the dimensionless free vibration base frequency of 4.5345 and the total mass of 434.41kg,Figure 7 (h) the material volume fraction and thickness of the ceramic phase material corresponding to a dimensionless free vibration fundamental frequency of 4.3768 and a total mass of 424.26 kg, Figure 7 The color from black to white represents the gradually decreasing thickness and the gradually decreasing material volume fraction of the ceramic phase. The color from white to black represents the gradually increasing thickness and the gradually increasing material volume fraction of the ceramic phase. Figure 8 It can be seen that the ceramic phase material is mainly located in the inner region of the plate, and there are some regions of the metal phase in the inner region. For the plate thickness distribution, the plate is thicker in the middle of the four sides and the center position, and thinner in other regions. In addition, with the decrease of the mass and the fundamental frequency, it is observed that the plate thickness is significantly reduced.
