Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of structural health monitoring, and in particular relates to an impact positioning method and system for a thin-walled structure based on a dense array and an intelligent optimization strategy. Background Art

[0002] During their service, aviation structures will inevitably be subjected to various forms of external impact loads, such as bird strikes, hail, runway gravel, etc. Multiple impacts may cause structural damage or even failure. Most aviation structures are thin-walled structures, and the response signals generated by the impact are mainly propagated in the form of elastic waves, which have the characteristics of long propagation distance and low attenuation. Piezoelectric sensors have a wide frequency response range and fast dynamic response speed, and are often used to obtain impact response signals. With the increasing requirements of the industry for lightweight sensor networks and lead regularity, as well as the restrictions of complex structures on the sensor layout area, the use of dense array sensor layout has become a trend. Therefore, the development of shock location algorithms based on dense sensor arrays is of great significance for the research on shock monitoring of aviation structures.

[0003] At present, the impact location algorithm based on dense array still faces many problems, mainly including: First, the sampling rate of the data acquisition device is directly related to the resolution of the collected signal. A lower sampling rate will result in poor resolution of the collected signal, which makes the spatial characteristics of the signals received by each array element in the dense array not very different. A single dense array can only estimate the relative direction of the impact source, but it is difficult to estimate its accurate position, and there is a positioning blind spot in the monitoring area. Therefore, the conventional dense array positioning method usually has high requirements for the sampling rate of the data acquisition device (usually in MHz), and the operation and maintenance costs of the monitoring system are greatly increased. How to balance the positioning blind spot and the system equipment cost so that all-round blind spot monitoring can be achieved at a lower sampling rate is one of the problems to be solved in the impact location technology. Second, the classic dense array positioning algorithm usually maps the characteristic information such as the phase and wave number of the impact signal from the spatial spectrum to all discrete spatial grids on the structure to measure the possibility of impact. For large real structures, this method of scanning spatial grids one by one is very time-consuming and difficult to meet real-time online monitoring. In addition, the accuracy of positioning and imaging depends on the number and size of the divided spatial grids. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide an improved thin-wall structure impact positioning method and system.

[0005] To this end, some embodiments of the present application provide a thin-walled structure impact positioning method based on a dense array and an intelligent optimization strategy, the method comprising the steps of: arranging at least two dense sensor arrays on the monitoring area of ​​the monitored structure, acquiring the impact stress wave signal of each of the sensor arrays; extracting the impact stress narrowband wave signal at a specific center frequency using Morlet wavelet transform, Shannon wavelet transform or short-time Fourier transform, and calculating the propagation group velocity and wave number of the impact stress narrowband wave signal; setting the initial parameters of the intelligent optimization algorithm; obtaining the fitness function of the intelligent optimization strategy according to the spatial beam focusing algorithm; constructing a directional fitness function, including respectively calculating the phase difference between different array elements in the two dense arrays, constructing the directional vector of each array element, and deriving the dense array output power function P with the individual position of the population as the independent variable according to the spatial beam focusing algorithm. SBF ; and constructing a path fitness function, including calculating the time difference of arrival between the array elements at corresponding positions in at least two dense arrays, and obtaining the imaging function P on the path according to the hyperbolic Gaussian distribution imaging algorithm HL ; Formulate a population screening mechanism for the directional fitness function; deduce the half-power beam width characteristics of the dense array based on the specific array element distribution shape, array element spacing and array element number of the dense array. Construct a population screening mechanism for the intelligent optimization strategy, calculate the individuals whose angles with the optimal particle and the reference array element in the dense array are less than the half-power beam width at each iteration and whose coordinates are within the monitoring area, retain these individuals, and release the remaining individuals that do not meet the conditions; iteratively search for retained individuals that meet the conditions; and use the intelligent optimization algorithm to iteratively find the retained individuals with the maximum fitness function value and that meet the screening conditions; and use the DBSCAN density clustering algorithm and Gaussian kernel density estimation to predict the coordinates of the impact source;

[0006] In some embodiments, the intelligent optimization algorithms that can be selected include but are not limited to gray wolf, bat, particle swarm optimization algorithms, etc.

[0007] In some embodiments, Morlet wavelet transform, Shannon wavelet transform or short-time Fourier transform is used to extract the impact stress narrowband wave signal at a specific center frequency, and the propagation group velocity and wave number of the impact stress narrowband wave signal are calculated.

[0008] In some embodiments, constructing the directional fitness function includes respectively calculating the phase difference between different array elements in any two dense arrays, constructing the directional vector of each array element, and deriving the dense array output power function with the individual position of the population as the independent variable according to the spatial beam focusing algorithm, and using it as the directional fitness function of the optimization algorithm.

[0009] In some embodiments, constructing the path fitness function includes calculating the arrival time difference between array elements at corresponding positions in at least two dense arrays, obtaining an imaging function on the path according to a hyperbolic Gaussian distribution imaging algorithm, and using it as the path fitness function.

[0010] In some embodiments, individuals who do not meet the conditions are released.

[0011] In some embodiments, the retained individuals obtained by searching the direction fitness function are defined as direction individuals, and the individuals obtained by searching the path fitness function are defined as path individuals.

[0012] In some embodiments, the DBSCAN density clustering algorithm is used to cluster all directional individuals and path individuals. The approximate location of the impact source can be locked by the distribution area of ​​all individuals retained by clustering, and then the Gaussian kernel density estimation method is used to calculate the probability density distribution of the individual position coordinates in the clustering area. The coordinates corresponding to the maximum probability are the predicted impact position coordinates.

[0013] This application also proposes a corresponding system.

[0014] The present invention is to develop an online impact position recognition technology that can achieve no blind area, high accuracy and real-time performance at a low sampling rate by combining dense arrays, and the beneficial technical effects brought by it include:

[0016] Second, the present invention overcomes the shortcoming of the traditional method that all spatial grids need to be scanned one by one, the positioning time is greatly shortened, and the real-time performance of impact monitoring is improved.

[0017] Third, the present invention uses the beam width characteristics of dense arrays as constraints for screening individuals in the intelligent optimization algorithm, taking into account the ambiguity and uncertainty of the positioning results caused by the dense array's own beam width characteristics.

[0018] Fourth, the present invention designs a multi-channel synchronous data acquisition module, in which each channel of a single module synchronously acquires data, each module is responsible for the signal acquisition of a dense array, and the modules do not interfere with each other. Compared with the data acquisition system of the traditional method, the module is more compact and lightweight. In addition, it is not necessary to keep all data acquisition channels in the monitoring area synchronized, which improves the real-time performance of the method. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0032] like Figure 1A , Figure 1B and Figure 1CAs shown in the figure, a thin-walled structure impact positioning method based on dense array and intelligent optimization strategy can be divided into five parts according to the functions implemented, mainly including: preprocessing of impact stress wave signal and algorithm parameters, obtaining the fitness function of the intelligent optimization strategy according to the spatial beam focusing algorithm, formulating the population screening mechanism of the directional fitness function, iteratively searching for retained individuals that meet the conditions, and using density clustering algorithm and Gaussian kernel density estimation to predict the coordinates of the impact source.

[0033] Each part is implemented according to the following steps:

[0034] Step S1: Acquisition of shock stress wave signals and preprocessing of algorithm parameters.

[0035] N dense sensor arrays (N≥2) are arranged on the monitoring area of ​​the monitored structure, and the impact stress wave signal of each array element is obtained by using data acquisition equipment. The shape of the dense sensor array can be arranged in a circular, rectangular, etc., and the number can be customized according to needs. The array element PZT in the nth dense sensor array used to receive the impact stress wave signal excited by the impact source i n The position coordinates are marked as Where I is the total number of elements in the nth dense sensor array. The radius of the circular array is denoted by R s . The array element PZT in the nth dense sensor array i n The received shock stress wave signal is recorded as According to the frequency distribution information of the impact stress wave signal collected by each array element, the specific center frequency f is extracted c Narrowband wave signal

[0036] The specific center frequency can be determined by the following steps: first, Fourier transform is performed to obtain the spectrum of the signal, and the extracted center frequency needs to be within the spectrum range. For continuous wavelets, the higher the frequency of the signal, the higher its time resolution; for the mode of Lamb wave signals, the higher the frequency of the signal, the more complex the signal mode. The specific center frequency can be selected based on comprehensive considerations of different scenarios.

[0037] Then, the group velocity v of the impact stress wave propagating at this specific frequency is calculated by using methods such as Morlet wavelet transform, Shannon wavelet transform or short-time Fourier transform. g During imaging, the wave number k and wavelength λ of the impact stress wave are calculated based on formula (1).

[0038]

[0039] Step S2, intelligent algorithm initialization step. The intelligent optimization algorithm in the method of the present invention can use optimization algorithms such as gray wolf, bat and particle swarm. Here, the gray wolf optimization algorithm is used as an example. Initialize the parameters set based on the principle of the gray wolf optimization algorithm: the maximum evolutionary generation g used to control the algorithm cutoff m , initialize the number of individuals in the population M, the individual orientation control parameter A, and the individual distance control parameter C. The two-dimensional space vector δ∈(x,y) of the impact positioning area of ​​large thin-walled structures. Formula (2) is used to calculate the wolf pack p g Initialization, when the monitoring area is in x∈[x min ,x max ]mm, y∈[y min ,y max ]mm, the upper and lower limits of the space vector in the monitoring area are δ U =(x max ,y max ) and δ L =(x min ,y min ). r Indicates the individual spatial resolution during the search process, usually ζ r =(1,1). At this time, the population is initialized with a 1mm space interval x∈[x min ,x max ]mm, y∈[y min ,y max It should be understood that, although this step is marked as S2 for the convenience of description, the intelligent algorithm initialization only needs to be performed before the actual execution of the intelligent algorithm.

[0040]

[0041] Step S3: Obtaining the fitness function of the intelligent optimization strategy according to the spatial beam focusing algorithm.

[0042] According to the individual positions (x pg ,y pg ), based on formula (3), the relative distance r of the individual to each element in the nth dense array is calculated i (x pg ,y pg ).

[0043]

[0044] The steering vector of each element in the nth dense array can be calculated by formula (4), r i is the relative distance of the individual from each element in the nth dense array. iIt is the steering vector of the array element in the array, which refers to the direction from the center of the array to the signal source. It is usually expressed in spatial coordinates and reflects the angle or direction of the signal when it arrives at the array:

[0045]

[0046] The signal received by each element in the nth dense array can be expressed as follows:

[0047] F n (t) = A n (x pg ,y pg )V n (t)+N n (t) (5)

[0048] in,

[0049]

[0050] The output power of the nth dense array is constructed according to the spatial beam focusing algorithm based on beamforming theory. Use it as the directional fitness function of the optimization algorithm:

[0051]

[0052] Based on the normalized RMS amplitude method described in equations (8) and (9), the PZT of the array element in the nth dense array is calculated as i n and the array element PZT in the mth dense array i m The normalized RMS sequence of .

[0053]

[0054] Where V represents the length of the impact stress wave signal, S(t w ) represents the signal at t w The signal amplitude at time Indicates at 0 <t<t v The average amplitude of a signal over time.

[0055]

[0056] Then select a suitable normalized RMS threshold κ and measure the PZT of the array element in the nth dense array. i n and the array element PZT in the mth dense array i m Time Difference Where m,n=1,2,...,N.

[0057] According to the group velocity of the wave, the array element PZT in the nth dense array i n and the array element PZT in the mth dense array i m The theoretical time difference of arrival is calculated from the coordinates of

[0058]

[0059] Finally, the imaging function on the path is obtained by the hyperbolic Gaussian distribution imaging algorithm, referred to as the hyperbolic imaging algorithm As a path fitness function:

[0060]

[0061] Step S4: Formulate a population screening mechanism for the directional fitness function.

[0062] Based on formulas (12) and (13), the directional pattern function E of a uniform circular array with 8 elements is derived: n (φ):

[0063]

[0064] Extract the angle value φ corresponding to the 3dB beam width 3dB , define the parameters of the retained individual constraints

[0065]

[0066] Screen the individuals in each iteration to meet the constraints of the retained individuals The individuals that meet the requirements are retained, and the individuals that do not meet the requirements are eliminated.

[0067] Step S5: Iteratively search for retained individuals that meet the conditions, including:

[0068] Step S51, according to the directional fitness function obtained in the above steps, calculate the directional fitness of all gray wolf individuals in the current dense array, save the top three wolves α, β and δ with the highest fitness, and update the current gray wolf individual position. Filter the direction to retain the gray wolf individuals. Update A and C, and calculate the direction fitness value and position of the retained gray wolf individuals. Until the number of iterations reaches g m And search to obtain the direction-preserving individual set obtained under all dense arrays

[0069] Step S52, according to the path fitness function obtained in the above steps, calculate the path fitness of all gray wolf individuals in the current dense array, save the top three wolves α, β and δ with the highest fitness, and update the current gray wolf individual position. Update A and C, and calculate the directional fitness value and position of the retained gray wolf individual. Until the number of iterations reaches g m And search for all dense arrays to obtain the path to retain the individual set

[0070] Step S6: Use density clustering algorithm and Gaussian kernel density estimation to predict the impact source coordinates.

[0071] Including through integration and Obtain all retained individuals in the monitoring area, and use Figure 2 The DBSCAN density clustering algorithm shown in FIG. 1 clusters all direction individuals and path individuals. The approximate location of the impact source can be locked by clustering the distribution area of ​​all individuals retained, step S61; and then using the Figure 2 The Gaussian kernel density estimation method shown calculates the probability density distribution of individuals in the cluster area, and the position with the maximum probability is the predicted impact position, step S62.

[0073] like Figure 3 The schematic diagram of a monitored thin-walled plate, a sensor cluster, and a multi-channel data synchronous acquisition module used in a specific embodiment of the method and system of the present application is shown. The size of the monitored structure is 900mm×1250mm×3mm. A sensor cluster with a radius of 13mm is formed by using piezoelectric sensors with a diameter of 8mm and a thickness of 0.5mm. The sensor cluster is the above-mentioned dense sensor array, such as sensor cluster 1 and sensor cluster 2.

[0074] like Figure 4 The array pattern of the sensor cluster 1 when pointing at 90° is shown. Figure 5 The half-power beam width is calculated to be 58°. A Cartesian coordinate system is established with the lower left vertex of the structure under test as the origin, and the coordinates of the piezoelectric sensor and the impact source are recorded.
