Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of large-span spatial structure analysis and design, and in particular to a morphological analysis method, equipment and medium for annular string structures. Background Art

[0002] The ring-type string structure is a semi-rigid large-span prestressed spatial structure system proposed based on the concept of tensioning, which is usually used in modern large stadiums, arenas, etc. The plane projection of a conventional ring-type string structure is a regular circle, and the boundary nodes are at the same elevation. However, for complex ring-type string structures, their plane projections are elliptical, rectangular, polygonal, etc., or the boundary nodes are not at the same height (such as saddle curves, parabolas, etc.). There is currently no unified and simple method to perform form-finding and force analysis on them. The development of a morphological analysis method suitable for complex ring-type string structures can greatly expand the application scope of such structures, which is of great positive significance for their promotion and application. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art to a certain extent, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a morphological analysis method, equipment and medium for annular string structures to solve the problems of complex process, low efficiency and poor effect of the existing methods.

[0004] The first technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0005] A morphological analysis method for a ring-shaped string structure comprises the following steps:

[0006] S1. Establish a structural model according to the target configuration, use the target configuration as the initial state of iterative calculation, and extract the initial length of the lower cable structure of the current structural model;

[0007] S2, giving initial prestress to the cable structure by initial strain method;

[0008] S3. Obtain the length of each cable in the cable system structure under the structural equilibrium state through nonlinear finite element calculation;

[0009] S4, calculating the strain change of each cable according to the cable length obtained in step S1 and step S3, and updating the initial strain of the lower cable system structure according to the strain change;

[0010] S5, when the initial strain is small, the upper beam structure of the annular string structure is vertically displaced downward as a whole, and steps S1 to S4 are repeated. The beam structure will gradually rise upward until it arches, and then proceed to the next step;

[0011] S6. Update the coordinates of the lower cable node to reduce the vertical displacement of the upper beam structure. When it is reduced to a preset value, multiply the initial strain by the reduction factor C.

[0012] S7, check whether the vertical displacement (maximum positive and negative displacement values) of the upper beam structure are similar and close to zero. If not, repeat steps S3 to S6; if so, repeat the update node in step S6 until the vertical displacement of the upper beam structure meets the preset requirements.

[0013] Furthermore, the annular string structure includes an upper rigid beam-rod structure and a lower flexible cable-rod structure; the beam-rod structure includes radial beams and annular rods; the cable-rod structure includes vertical struts and a cable system structure, wherein the cable system structure includes radial cables and annular cables.

[0014] Furthermore, the annular string structure includes not only a regular string structure whose plane projection is a circle and whose boundary nodes are at the same elevation, but also a complex string structure whose plane projection is an ellipse, rectangle or polygon, etc., and whose boundary nodes are at unequal heights.

[0015] Further, in step S4, for a certain radial beam, when the radial beam arches upward relative to the target configuration, the strain change value is assigned a negative sign, that is, the prestress of the lower cable system is reduced; otherwise, the strain change value is assigned a positive sign, and then the initial strain is updated.

[0016] Furthermore, in step S6, only the vertical coordinates of the cable nodes are updated to keep the plane projection positions of the nodes unchanged, thereby ensuring that the bracing rods are in a vertical state.

[0017] Furthermore, the design configuration of the upper beam structure is adopted as the shape control target to find the prestress distribution of the cable system when the vertical deformation of the structure is zero in the initial prestressed state or under load.

[0018] Furthermore, the reduction coefficient C has a value range of 0.3-0.7.

[0019] The second technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0020] An electronic device comprises a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores at least one instruction, at least one program, a code set or an instruction set, and the at least one instruction, the at least one program, the code set or the instruction set is loaded and executed by the processor to implement a morphological analysis method for a ring-shaped string structure as described above.

A processor of a computer device can read the computer instructions from the computer-readable storage medium, and the processor executes the computer instructions, so that the computer device performs the above-mentioned morphological analysis method for a ring-shaped string structure.

[0025] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that, based on the initial configuration of the annular string structure, the present invention derives the prestress distribution of the cable system from the length of the cable system structure, and then calculates the new cable system node coordinates, and updates the configuration of the lower cable system structure, and then repeats the above process for the new configuration, and after iteration, a reasonable cable system prestress distribution and overall structural configuration can be obtained.

[0037] In view of the existing technical problems, the present invention provides a morphological analysis method for an annular tensioned structure. An annular tensioned structure generally includes an upper annular rigid beam structure and a lower flexible cable structure, wherein the upper beam structure includes radial beams and annular rods, and the lower cable structure includes vertical struts and a cable system structure (radial cables, annular cables). The method proposed in the present invention can simultaneously realize the shape finding and force finding of the structure; in addition to being used for regular tensioned structures with plane projections as circles and boundary nodes at the same elevation, it can also be used for plane projections as elliptical, rectangular, polygonal, etc., as well as complex tensioned structures with boundary nodes of unequal heights. At the same time, this method can also be combined with the actual construction process to realize the full-process morphological analysis of the structure under different working conditions. The method of the present invention takes the design configuration of the upper beam structure as the shape control target, which is essentially to find the cable system prestress distribution when the vertical deformation of the structure is zero under the initial prestressed state or load state. Based on the initial configuration of the annular string structure, the present invention derives the prestress distribution of the cable system from the length of the cable system structure, and then calculates the new cable system node coordinates, and updates the configuration of the lower cable system structure, and then repeats the above process for the new configuration. After iteration, a reasonable cable system prestress distribution and overall structural configuration can be obtained. The morphological analysis method proposed in the present invention can quickly obtain the cable system prestress distribution and overall structural configuration that meet the requirements, and its idea is simple and the calculation is convenient.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a ring-shaped string structure. Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the annular string structure includes an upper rigid beam structure and a lower flexible cable structure, wherein the upper beam structure includes radial beams 1 and annular rods 2; the lower cable structure includes vertical struts 3 and a cable system structure, wherein the cable system structure includes radial cables 4 and annular cables 5.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a morphological analysis method for a ring-shaped string structure, and the analysis process includes the following steps:

[0041] (1) Establish a structural model according to the target configuration, and the initial length of each cable is L B for:

[0042] L B =[l1,…,l j ,…,l n ] T

[0043] (2) Assign the initial strain of each cable to be ε (0) :

[0044] ε (0) =[ε1(0) ,…,ε j (0) ,…,ε n (0) ] T

[0045] (3) Calculate the equilibrium state and extract the current length L of each cable (1) :

[0046] L (1) =[l1 (0) ,…,l j (0) ,…,l n (0) ] T

[0047] (4) Calculate the strain change of each cable:

[0048] Δε (1) =[Δε1 (1) ,…,Δε j (1) ,…,Δε n (1) ] T =[(l1 (1) -l1) / l1,…,(l j (1) -l j ) / l j ,…,(l n (1) -l n ) / l n ] T

[0049] (5) Vertical displacement of the upper beam structure U (1) = {u1 (1) ,…,u j (1) ,…,u n (1) For a certain beam, when the radial beam arches upward, the strain is assigned a negative sign, that is, the prestress of the cable is reduced; otherwise, it is assigned a positive sign to update the initial strain of the cable:

[0050] When u j (1) >0, Δε j (1) =-|Δε j (1) |

[0051] When u j (1) <0, Δε j(1) =|Δε j (1) |

[0052] ε j (1) = ε j (0) + Δε j (1)

[0053] (6) Repeat steps 1 to 5 until the overall configuration of the structure changes from downward deflection to upward arch, i.e., U min When it approaches 0, the force iteration is stopped. At this time, the lower cable node coordinates are changed, and the vertical displacement of the upper beam node is superimposed on the Z-axis coordinate of the corresponding node under the brace. At this time, U max Will gradually decrease.

[0054] Z (1) =Z (0) +U (1)

[0055] Among them, Z (0) is the Z coordinate of the node under the initial strut, Z (1) It is the Z coordinate of the lower node of the strut after the first iteration.

[0056] (7)When U max When it drops by 20%-30%, multiply the initial strain of the cable by the reduction factor C. The factor C should be determined by trial calculation and is usually in the range of 0.3-0.7.

[0057] ε (2) =C (1) *ε (1)

[0058] (8) At this time, the observable structure U max and U min Are they roughly equal and smaller in value? If not equal or larger in value, repeat steps 3-7 above. Otherwise, repeat the update node in step 6 until the vertical displacement of the upper beam structure meets the requirements. The formula for the iterative step n is as follows:

[0059] L (n) =[l1 (n) ,…,l j (n) ,…,l q (n) ] T

[0060] Δε (n) =[Δε1 (n) ,…,Δε j (n) ,…,Δε q(n) ] T

[0061] =[(l1 (n) -l1 (n-1) ) / l1 (n-1) ,…,(l j (n) -l j (n-1) ) / l j (n-1) ,…,(l q (1) -l q (n-1) ) / l q (n-1) ] T

[0062] ε (n) =ε (n-1) +Δε (n)

[0063] Z (n) =Z (n-1) +U (n-1)

[0064] Take a ring-shaped string structure as an example. Assume that the boundary of a ring-shaped string structure is a saddle-shaped boundary, and the plane projection is an ellipse. The major axis span is 210m, the minor axis span is 168m, and the rise is 16m. The upper beam structure adopts a rib ring grid layout, and the lower cable system includes radial cables and annular cables. There are 72 radial cables in total, which form a cable network with the annular cables. In the structural model of this embodiment, the material parameters used for the upper beams, struts and lower cable system are shown in Table 1 below.

[0065] Table 1

[0066]

[0067] The calculated vertical displacement of the structure is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the initial prestress and internal force of the ring cable and radial cables at main positions are shown in Table 2 below.

[0068] Table 2

[0069]

[0070] from Figure 6 It can be seen that the vertical displacement of the structure obtained by this method is very small, only 1 / 1292 of the short axis span, and through further iterative calculation, it can meet higher accuracy requirements. On the other hand, the error between the initial prestress of the cable system and the final internal force is small, indicating that the morphological analysis method proposed in this invention can well perform morphological analysis on complex annular string structures.
