Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of tunnel engineering, in particular to a tunnel lining external load inversion method and system based on a physical information neural network. BACKGROUND

[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present application and do not necessarily constitute the prior art.

[0003] During the construction of adjacent projects near tunnels and tracks, the existing tunnel surrounding rock or soil may be disturbed, causing changes in the external load of the tunnel lining, and further causing safety risks to the tunnel structure. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the changes in the external load of the tunnel lining to ensure the safety of the tunnel structure.

[0004] Currently, there are three methods for evaluating the external load of the tunnel lining: direct measurement, numerical analysis, and back analysis.

[0005] Direct measurement involves placing soil pressure cells between the lining and the stratum to test the pressure between the stratum and the lining. This method can directly obtain the external load, but the measurement results require high installation technology, and once the sensor fails, it cannot be replaced, making it difficult to apply to long-term monitoring of operating tunnels.

[0006] The accuracy of the numerical method depends on sufficient understanding of the surrounding rock geological conditions and reasonable selection of the rock and soil body constitutive model and parameters, and the accuracy under complex conditions is difficult to guarantee.

[0007] The back analysis method inverses the external load based on the structure monitoring results. Generally, the actual response of the structure is used to determine the external load in combination with the numerical method. This method generally requires repeated calculations in combination with the rock and soil body model, and the results depend on the rock and soil body model and parameters. SUMMARY

[0008] To solve the technical problems in the background art, the present application provides a tunnel lining external load inversion method and system based on a physical information neural network, which uses the actual monitored physical information to construct a function model, and converts the parameters related to the inversion results into input and output quantities of the physical information neural network. The learning process of the physical information neural network obtains a solution that is more consistent with the basic physical laws. The required physical parameters are easy to monitor, and the cost is lower than that of the traditional back analysis method.

[0009] To achieve the above purpose, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0010] The first aspect of the present application provides a tunnel lining external load inversion method based on a physical information neural network, comprising the following steps:

[0011] Obtaining monitoring data of an inner surface of a tunnel lining to be inverted;

[0012] According to the curved beam theory, control equations of external loads and neutral axis deformation of the lining are established, and boundary conditions are determined;

[0013] According to the material mechanics theory, a corresponding relationship between strains and displacements of the inner surface of the lining and strains and displacements of the position of the neutral axis is established;

[0014] A physical information neural network is constructed, in which spatial coordinates of the lining are input, normal displacement and tangential displacement of the neutral axis at different coordinates and external loads of the lining are output, and the neutral axis displacement is converted into strains and displacements of the inner surface of the lining;

[0015] Through training of the physical information neural network, input-output relationship meets the control equations of external loads and lining deformation, boundary conditions and monitoring data, and normal displacement and tangential displacement of the neutral axis at the corresponding coordinates and external loads of the lining are obtained, which are inversion results.

[0016] Further, the monitoring data of the tunnel lining to be inverted include displacement, strain, convergence and the like.

[0017] Further, the control equations of external loads and neutral axis deformation of the lining are as follows:

[0018]

[0019] In the formula, p is the external load, and are tangential and normal displacement of the neutral axis, O is the center of the tunnel and is the polar coordinate origin, R is the radius of the tunnel, is a polar angle, M, N and Q are bending moment, axial force and shear force of the beam respectively.

[0020] Further, through the boundary conditions of the model, normal displacement, tangential displacement and rotational deformation of the top of the lining are determined.

[0021] Further, the lining deformation monitoring points are located on the inner surface of the lining, and the control equations are the deformation relationship between the external loads and the neutral axis, so it is necessary to determine the relationship between strains and displacements of the inner surface of the lining and strains and displacements of the position of the neutral axis, as shown in the following formula:

[0022]

[0023] w s =w

[0024]

[0025] In the formula, and for the neutral axis tangential and normal displacement, R is the tunnel radius, for the polar angle, z is the distance to the neutral axis, u is the normal displacement of the neutral axis, w is the tangential displacement, ε s for the tunnel lining inner surface strain, ε0 is the tunnel lining neutral axis strain, κ0 is the curvature of the neutral axis, w s for the lining inner surface normal displacement, u s for the lining inner surface tangential displacement.

[0026] Further, the physical information neural network is trained, when the loss value is greater than the set threshold value, the hyperparameter optimization is performed on the parameter update of the neural network, the neutral axis normal displacement, the tangential displacement and the lining external load at the corresponding coordinates are output when the iteration setting number or the sum of all losses is the minimum.

[0027] The second aspect of the present application provides a tunnel lining external load inversion system based on a physical information neural network, comprising.

[0028] The physical information module is configured to: acquire monitoring data of a tunnel lining to be inverted; establish a control equation of the external load and the neutral axis deformation of the lining according to the curved beam theory, and determine the boundary conditions; and establish a corresponding relationship between the strain and displacement of the inner surface of the lining and the strain and displacement of the neutral axis position according to the material mechanics theory;

[0029] The neural network module is configured to: take the lining spatial coordinates as the input of the physical information neural network, and take the neutral axis normal displacement, the tangential displacement and the lining external load at different coordinates as the output, and convert the neutral axis displacement into the strain and displacement of the lining inner surface;

[0030] The training and output module is configured to: train the physical information neural network, so that the input-output relationship satisfies the control equation of the external load and the lining deformation, the boundary conditions and the monitoring data, and obtain the neutral axis normal displacement, the tangential displacement and the lining external load at the corresponding coordinates, which are the inversion results.

[0031] The third aspect of the present application provides a computer readable storage medium, which stores a computer program, and the program is executed by a processor to realize the steps in the above tunnel lining external load inversion method based on a physical information neural network.

[0032] The fourth aspect of the present application provides a computer device, which comprises a memory, a processor and a computer program stored on the memory and executable on the processor, and the processor executes the program to realize the steps in the above tunnel lining external load inversion method based on a physical information neural network.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the above one or more technical solutions have the following beneficial effects:

[0034] 1. The function model is constructed by actually monitoring physical parameters, and the parameters related to the inversion results are converted into input and output of physical information neural network. The learning process of physical information neural network is used to obtain a solution that is more in line with the basic physical law. The required physical parameters are easy to monitor, and the cost is lower than that of traditional back analysis method.

[0035] 2. Compared with direct measurement of external load, the measurement of lining deformation is easier and more stable, because direct measurement of external load has higher installation technology requirements, and the sensor cannot be replaced once it fails, making it difficult to apply to long-term monitoring of tunnels in operation period. Therefore, inversion through monitored deformation is more feasible and has more accuracy guarantee.

[0036] 3. The accuracy of numerical method depends on sufficient understanding of surrounding rock geological conditions and reasonable selection of rock and soil constitutive model and parameters, and the accuracy under complex conditions is difficult to guarantee. Therefore, the method has more accuracy guarantee.

[0037] 4. There are also back analysis methods for external load inversion in the past, but the previous methods usually assume the form of external load and are low in efficiency. The present method does not assume the form of external load and is high in efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0051] It should be noted that the following detailed description is exemplary and is intended to provide further explanation of the present application. Unless otherwise indicated, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application belongs.

[0052] PINN network, i.e. Physics-Informed Neural Networks, is a machine learning model that combines deep learning and physical knowledge.

[0053] Embodiment I:

[0057] According to the theory of material mechanics, the corresponding relationship between the strain and displacement of the inner surface of the lining and the strain and displacement of the neutral axis position is established;

[0058] A physical information neural network is constructed, with the spatial coordinates of the lining as the input and the neutral axis normal displacement, tangential displacement and external load of the lining at different coordinates as the output. The neutral axis displacement is converted into the strain and displacement of the inner surface of the lining.

[0059] By training the physical information neural network, the input-output relationship is made to satisfy the control equations, boundary conditions and monitoring data of external load and lining deformation, and the neutral axis normal displacement, tangential displacement and lining external load at the corresponding coordinates are obtained, which is the inversion result.

O is the tunnel center and the origin of the polar coordinate system, and R is the tunnel radius. This is the polar angle. M, N, and Q represent the bending moment, axial force, and shear force at the beam's cross-section, respectively, with the arrows in the diagram indicating positive directions.

[0065] In a polar coordinate system, coordinates include polar angle and polar radius. For the circular tunnel involved in this embodiment, the polar radius is the outer diameter of the tunnel, which is a fixed value. Therefore, the polar angle is used alone. That can represent coordinates.

[0071]

[0072] where z is the distance to the neutral axis, ε s is the strain of the inner surface of the tunnel lining, ε0 is the strain of the neutral axis of the tunnel lining, κ0 is the curvature of the neutral axis, w s is the normal displacement of the inner surface of the lining, u s is the tangential displacement of the inner surface of the lining, is the differential of u and , is the first derivative of u with respect to .

[0073] S4, a physical information neural network (PINN network) based on the inversion of external loads of the lining is established, the network structure is shown in Figure 4 , and the specific steps of the inverse analysis and the algorithm design are shown in Table 1.

[0075]

[0076] In actual engineering, the monitored quantities are ε s , w s and u s , etc., rather than u, w, and the direct output of the neural network is u, w. The difference between the results of the neural network and the monitoring results can be calculated by formula (3), the results of the neural network are measured, and the accuracy of the neural network inversion is ensured, that is, the monitoring data loss DATAloss is calculated in S4 by using formula (3).

The hard contact between the lining and the tunnel is simulated, and the friction coefficient is 0.3. The specific parameters of the numerical model are shown in Table 2.
