Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of aircraft structure health monitoring, and in particular, relates to an aircraft structure usage severity classification method and system. Background Art

[0002] Structural fatigue single-machine tracking analysis The purposes of conducting structural single-machine tracking are: first, to evaluate the implementation of the fleet training outline through the use of monitoring and tracking, so as to evaluate whether there are any changes in the conditions (task composition) of the design service life; second, based on the above changes, to conduct differentiated life analysis and evaluation of the fleet aircraft, optimize the fleet aircraft training task allocation, and revise the structural integrity control plan of the in-service fleet.

[0003] Aircraft life determination is generally achieved through life analysis, evaluation and verification under the load spectrum compiled according to the design mission profile (i.e. expected use conditions). There is a difference between the design load spectrum of the aircraft in the development stage and the actual use load spectrum. And although the load spectrum in the design stage can reflect the typical use of the fleet, the life determination conclusion cannot be directly used for life management due to the difference between the actual use of a single aircraft and the expected use conditions. In addition, the new training syllabus has been widely adopted for training in my country's current military aircraft (the new syllabus focuses on actual combat, the training is difficult and intensive, and a large number of high-overload and high-maneuver actions appear in the training subjects, resulting in accelerated damage to the aircraft and life consumption). The use of various models is obviously heavier than expected, which increases the risk of aircraft use.

The mission profile is a task sequence table composed of some mission segments and performance parameters, which constitutes a complete flight. The type of mission profile is closely related to the type of aircraft. The design mission profile of the aircraft gives the expected aircraft usage. However, in actual use, the load history experienced by each single aircraft in the fleet, that is, the usage, is significantly different from the usage represented by the design mission profile. The actual use damage of some models has even exceeded the expected usage represented by the design mission profile used for life determination.

[0033] Preferably, the aircraft usage severity is divided into three types: light, normal and heavy, and the number of take-offs and landings represented by the three types of usage each accounts for 1 / 3.

[0034] Preferably, the flight parameter classification indicators include the maximum center of gravity overload, the mean center of gravity normal overload and the median center of gravity normal overload.

[0038] The damage interval classification module can obtain the benchmark equivalent damage corresponding to the benchmark spectrum to classify the benchmark damage interval, and compare different flight parameter classification indicators, correspond the classified damage interval with different flight parameter classification indicators to obtain the aircraft usage severity.

[0039] Preferably, a neural network algorithm is used to analyze the mission profile data with single-machine tracking data as input and equivalent damage data as output.

[0040] Preferably, the mission profile data is classified, including: mission profile type; usage percentage of each mission profile; flight time of each mission profile; mission segments of each mission profile and their sequence; payload layout of various mission profiles; landing times and landing types of various mission profiles.

[0041] Preferably, the equivalent damage conversion formula is modified specifically as follows: a parameter step is set, and a difference comparison is performed between the equivalent damage calculation result and the equivalent damage data in the equivalent damage calculation model; when the equivalent damage calculation result is large, the value of the corresponding parameter in the equivalent damage calculation formula is reduced by the parameter step; when the equivalent damage calculation result is small, the value of the corresponding parameter in the equivalent damage calculation formula is increased by the parameter step.
