Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water conservancy and hydropower engineering, and particularly relates to an intelligent prediction method for the mechanical behavior during the construction process of buried pipelines. Background Art

[0002] Pipelines are the fifth major means of transportation in addition to roads, railways, waterways, and aviation, and play an important role in transporting water, oil, natural gas, etc.

[0003] Buried steel pipes are commonly used pressure pipes in water resource allocation projects. During construction, the trench is first excavated, and then the pipeline is laid, backfilled, and the soil and stone materials are compacted. It has the advantages of simple structure, fast construction, convenient maintenance, and environmental friendliness, and is especially suitable for pipeline projects with large diameters, high internal pressures, and complex external environments. The longer the pipeline is built, the more prominent the comprehensive benefits will be. With the increasing scale of water resource allocation projects, the HD value (the product of water head and pipe diameter) of the pipeline will be very high, and it is more dependent on large buried steel pipes (pipe diameter not less than 1.2m). Compared with industries such as oil and gas, water supply and drainage, heating, and gas, the water conservancy and hydropower industry often uses large buried steel pipes (the maximum diameter can reach 4.0m), while the maximum diameter in the oil and gas industry is only 1.4m. When the pipe diameter becomes larger, the complexity of manufacturing, construction, and deformation control will increase exponentially. Currently, using larger diameter pipes is the common development direction of all industries. The construction process of large diameter pipes is very delicate, and usually supports are set inside the pipes to prevent pipeline deformation during construction.

[0053] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0054] Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the present invention should have the ordinary meanings understood by those with ordinary skills in the field to which the present invention belongs.

[0055] Embodiment 1

[0056] As Figure 1 shown, it is the flow chart of an intelligent prediction method for the mechanical behavior during the construction process of an underground pipeline of the present invention, specifically including the following steps:

[0057] Step 1: Define the geometric parameters, element types and material parameters of the model.

[0058] Define the refined numerical simulation model geometric parameters of the underground pipeline construction process: Define the pipeline diameter, pipeline burial depth, central angle of the soil arc foundation, cushion thickness, define the trench width and trench sidewall inclination angle, and define the length and width of the entire model.

[0059] Define element types: plane element PLANE42 (used when creating a two-dimensional grid), solid element SOLID185 (used for undisturbed soil, backfill soil and sand cushion), shell element SHELL181 (used for steel pipes), and rod element LINK180.

[0060] Define material parameters: Set the material parameters of the steel pipe, including elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, density, linear expansion coefficient, thickness; respectively set the material parameters of undisturbed soil, backfill soil and cushion, including elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, density, cohesion, internal friction angle, dilation angle, linear expansion coefficient; set the material parameters of the "cross" - shaped support: section type, section area, elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, density, linear expansion coefficient.

[0061] Step 2: Establish a three - dimensional finite element model of the pipeline, cushion, backfill soil, undisturbed soil and "cross" - shaped support ( Figure 2 ).

[0062] First, according to the coordinates of each position, create the key points of the model; connect the points into lines to establish the linear profile; and then enclose the lines into surfaces to create a two - dimensional plane model of the underground pipeline.

[0063] Next, perform horizontal and vertical slicing on the plane to divide the two-dimensional plane grid of the buried pipeline, and drag the surface grid to form a three-dimensional finite element model of the buried pipeline.

[0064] Finally, create 8 key points with a "rice" - shaped support along the pipe circumference, connect them in pairs to form a line, construct a single "rice" - shaped support, and then use the complex offset command to set a "rice" - shaped support every 2 meters in the three - dimensional finite element model of the buried pipeline and divide the grid.

[0065] Step 3: Create the contact relationships between the steel pipe - backfill soil and the backfill soil - undisturbed soil.

[0066] Establish the relationships between the steel pipe - backfill soil and the backfill soil - undisturbed soil respectively, and then use the ANSYS surface - to - surface contact method to establish the contact pairs between them, and set parameters such as contact type, friction coefficient, penalty stiffness, and initial gap to generate the target surface and the contact surface.

[0067] In the buried pipeline model, accurately simulating the pipe - soil interaction is crucial. Essentially, this interaction involves the contact problem at the pipe - soil interface, accompanied by complex factors such as material, geometry, and contact nonlinearity. Reasonably reproducing the pipe - soil contact behavior is the key to studying the stress and deformation mechanisms of buried pipelines. Therefore, the surface - to - surface contact element (Target170 - Contact174) is used for simulation during modeling. The surface - to - surface contact element calculates the contact stress by establishing contact pairs on the element surface and using the method of penetrating the surrounding nodes to reduce local stress concentration and uneven distribution of contact pressure. The interaction between the contact surfaces includes normal force and tangential force. Among them, the relative sliding state can be determined by the Coulomb friction model, that is:

[0068] (1);

[0069] In the formula, is the equivalent shear stress; is the maximum allowable shear stress; is the friction coefficient; is the normal pressure on the contact surface; is the cohesion.

[0070] Step 4: Settings before solving.

[0071] Set parameters for the model solution, turn on large deformation, use the Newton - Raphson algorithm, turn on automatic time stepping, and apply normal displacement constraints on the top surface of the model freely, and at the bottom, left - right, and front - back positions.

[0072] Step 5: Perform multi - stage load step simulation on the refined numerical simulation model of the buried pipeline construction process, including trench excavation, cushion installation, pipeline and internal support installation, layer - by - layer soil backfilling, and removal of internal supports.

[0073] Load step 1: Trench excavation ( Figure 3 as shown in (a) of

[0074] Use the EKILL command to kill the elements of the soil, steel pipe, and "cross-shaped" supports in the trench, and apply full constraints to the nodes of the killed elements. Next, apply the gravity load and solve, and release the constraints of the dead elements after the solution is completed.

[0075] Load step 2: Bedding installation ( Figure 3 as shown in (b) of

[0076] Use the EALIVE command to activate the bedding elements, apply full constraints to the killed element nodes, reactivate the axial constraints of the bedding elements, solve, and release the constraints of the dead elements after the solution is completed.

[0077] Load step 3: Installation of steel pipe and "cross-shaped" supports ( Figure 3 as shown in (c) of

[0078] Use the EALIVE command to activate the pipe and "cross-shaped" supports, apply full constraints to the killed element nodes, reactivate the axial constraints of the pipe elements, solve, and release the constraints of the dead elements after the solution is completed.

[0079] Load steps 4 - 9: Layer-by-layer backfilling of soil in the interval from the top of the bedding to the waist of the pipe ( Figure 3 as shown in (d) of Figure 3 to (i) of

[0080] Use the EALIVE command to activate the first layer of backfill soil, apply full constraints to the killed element nodes, reactivate the axial constraints of the first layer of backfill soil, solve, and release the constraints of the dead elements after the solution is completed.

[0081] Load steps 10 - 15: Layer-by-layer backfilling of soil in the interval from the waist of the pipe to the top of the pipe ( Figure 3 as shown in (g) of Figure 3 to (o) of

[0082] According to the method of load steps 4 - 9, use the loop command to sequentially activate the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th layers of backfill soil and solve layer by layer.

[0083] Load step 16: Laying of backfill soil from the top of the pipe to 0.3 m above the top of the pipe ( Figure 3 as shown in (p) of

[0084] Activate the 13th layer of backfill soil at the position from the top of the pipe to 0.3 m above the top of the pipe, apply full constraints to the killed element nodes, reactivate the axial constraints of the first layer of backfill soil, solve, and release the constraints of the dead elements after the solution is completed.

[0085] Load step 17: Laying of backfill soil from 0.3 m above the top of the pipe to 0.6 m above the top of the pipeFigure 3 in (q)).

[0086] Activate the 14th layer of backfill soil at the position from 0.3 m above the pipe crown to 0.6 m above the pipe crown, apply full constraints to the killed element points, reactivate the axial constraints of the soil layer, solve, and release the constraints of the dead elements after solving.

[0087] Load step 18: Laying of backfill soil from 0.6 m above the pipe crown to the ground ( Figure 3 in (r)).

[0088] Activate the 15th layer of backfill soil at the position from 0.6 m above the pipe crown to the ground, apply full constraints to the killed element points, reactivate the axial constraints of the soil layer, solve, and release the constraints of the dead elements after solving.

[0089] Load step 19: Kill the elements of the cross-shaped support ( Figure 3 in (s)).

[0090] Step 6: To establish an intelligent prediction model for the mechanical behavior of pipelines during construction, based on the above simulation of the buried pipeline construction process, use the orthogonal experimental design (OED) method to design an experimental scheme that comprehensively considers multiple factors such as pipelines, soil, backfill layers, trench shapes, and burial depths to obtain a large amount of experimental data. Based on the experimental data, relying on the Python platform, use support vector regression (SVR) and genetic algorithms (GA) to train and test a large number of numerical simulation results, verify and correct the prediction model, and the analysis process is shown in Figure 4 .

[0091] Establish a GA-SVR model.

[0092] SVR is a general learning method based on the VC dimension theory and the structural risk minimization theory in statistics, with characteristics such as global optimality and small samples, and has unique advantages in analyzing non-linear mapping relationships. Suppose there are groups of training samples, and the training set , where is the input parameter, is the output parameter, is the parameter number, is the set of real numbers. Then the linear regression function on the high-dimensional space has the expression:

[0093] (2);

[0094] In the formula, is the mapping function reflecting the high-dimensional characteristics of the data set, is the weight vector, is the bias value.

[0095] The GA algorithm can achieve implicit parallel computing and global search capabilities. It uses the rule of "survival of the fittest" in biological theory to optimize nonlinear complex problems. First, genes are formed by encoding chromosomes, and then parameter optimization is achieved through gene expression methods such as selection, crossover, and mutation. Let and be two individuals in the population, and they are encoded with and bit binary respectively to obtain genes and , which can form the genome G.

[0096] The SVR model is sensitive to the penalty factor and the width parameter , but it relies on experience or trial algorithms to determine, with strong instability. While the GA algorithm has strong global search capabilities and can adaptively search for the optimal solution. Therefore, the GA algorithm is used to search and optimize and in the SVR model, and then the optimal solution ( , ) is imported into the SVR model to construct a GA - SVR model with higher accuracy. As shown in Figure 5 , the detailed process is as follows:

[0097] (a) Population initialization: Use and to form chromosomes, and randomly select a chromosome for encoding to generate the initial population of chromosomes;

[0098] (b) Fitness evaluation: Learn from the training data set to determine the fitness value of the individual, and conduct a fitness evaluation on the chromosomes according to the size of the fitness value;

[0099] (c) Genetic operations: Use gene expression methods such as selection, crossover, and mutation to iteratively replicate the chromosomes;

[0100] (d) Determine whether the termination condition is met: If and on the chromosome no longer change or reach the maximum number of iterations, then stop the optimization and output the optimal solution ( , );

[0101] (e) Parameter import: Import the optimal parameters ( , ) into the SVR model for regression prediction.

[0102] Establish an OED - GA - SVR coupled algorithm model.

[0103] During the construction process, large-diameter buried steel pipes are involved in many factors. How to reasonably design an analysis scheme is a major problem. This project intends to establish a pipeline structure prediction model of the OED-GA-SVR coupling algorithm based on the orthogonal experiment (OED) scheme. During the analysis, the calculation schemes obtained from the orthogonal experiment are used as the main control points in the prediction space. Linear interpolation is performed on the distances between the main control points to supplement multiple groups of experimental schemes, and the supplementary schemes are listed as auxiliary control points in the prediction space. The independent variables and response variables under each scheme are sorted out respectively as the initial input data of the model. To improve the stability of the regression model, multiple groups of sample data are normalized:

[0104] (3);

[0105] In the formula, represents the parameter in the th sample value, is the parameter value normalized to the range of [0, 1]. The normalized data samples are used to train and test the proposed GA-SVR model, where the training set samples account for 80% and the test set samples account for 20%.

[0106] To judge the regression effect of the model, the root mean square error RMSE and the coefficient of determination R 2 are used to evaluate the regression fitting effect of the model. The calculation formulas are as follows:

[0107] (4);

[0108] In the formula, and are the measured and predicted values of the prediction index respectively, is the number of samples, is the average value of the measured index.

[0109] It should be noted that the content not elaborated in detail in the present invention is all prior art and is well-known to those skilled in the art.

[0110] Therefore, by adopting the above intelligent prediction method for the mechanical behavior during the construction process of buried pipelines, the present invention can accurately simulate the construction environment, optimize the construction plan, improve the construction quality, reduce the construction risk, and has significant technical advantages and application values.

[0111] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify or equivalently replace the technical solutions of the present invention, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot make the modified technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
