Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pile scour test devices, in particular to a pile scour test monitoring device and a monitoring data fusion analysis method. Background Art

[0002] In the marine environment, current scouring poses a serious threat to structures built on sandy seabeds. Currents will not only directly scour the surface of the structure, causing deformation or displacement of the structure, thereby affecting the stability of the structure, but also may cause long-term deformation of the seabed over time, which will also affect the stability of the structure. The seabed morphology in reality is often undulating, with complex geological structures and diverse sedimentary characteristics. These factors have a significant impact on the fluidity of the current and the scouring path. The uneven seabed morphology will not only change the flow pattern of the water flow, but also subtly affect the fluid-solid coupling characteristics between the structure and the marine geological environment. In this complex environment, the bearing capacity, stability and anti-scouring ability of the structure may be affected to varying degrees. In order to further study the impact of current scouring on structures built on sandy seabeds, researchers used a pile scouring simulation experimental device to simulate the scouring effect of currents on seabed structures.

[0003] However, the current pile scour simulation experimental devices generally adopt a simplified marine geomorphic model structure. Its design lacks consideration of the undulations of the seabed morphology and ignores the diversity of the seabed topography, and thus cannot accurately simulate the complex and changeable real seabed morphology. In addition, the submerged height of the pile in the sand layer is mostly a constant value, so that the relationship between the ocean current and the bearing capacity of the structure cannot be fully considered, resulting in inaccurate stability assessment of the structure under real scour conditions. In addition, the parameters monitored in the traditional scour experimental monitoring method are relatively single, and the influence of the unevenness of the seabed on the fluid-solid coupling characteristics is not fully considered, so it is difficult to accurately evaluate the interaction between the pile and the marine geological environment. Summary of the invention

[0009] Furthermore, the nozzle is an adjustable universal nozzle.

[0010] A monitoring data fusion analysis method applied to a pile scour experiment monitoring device comprises the following steps: Step 1: Construct DIC monitoring dataset and infrared monitoring dataset; Step 2: Standardize the DIC monitoring data set and the infrared monitoring data set; Step 3: Build a unified state data set; Step 4: Perform principal component analysis on the unified state data set, and obtain the deformation mode and temperature change area of ​​the pile by analyzing the simplified data set.

[0011] Furthermore, in step 1, the DIC monitoring data set is set as:

[0012] in For the Line The displacement vector at the column point, and are the number of samples measured in the vertical and horizontal directions, respectively; Set the infrared monitoring data set to:

[0013] in For the Line The temperature values ​​at the points.

[0014] Furthermore, in step 2, the DIC monitoring data set And infrared monitoring dataset After standardization, the calculation formula is as follows:

[0016] Furthermore, in step 3, the standardized data is integrated into a unified state data set

[0024] At the same time, the nozzle in the present invention can freely adjust the water outlet direction and water pressure, and can simulate ocean currents with different flow rates and directions, which is convenient for studying the specific effects of various ocean current patterns on the pile body, thereby helping to more accurately evaluate the stability and anti-scouring ability of the pile body.
