[0046] Embodiment 1

[0047] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The first embodiment of the present application provides a steel structure bridge fatigue crack repair life prediction method.

[0048] Step 1: Collecting load data and stress data of the bridge structure after repairing fatigue cracks during operation.

[0049] Strain sensors and load sensors are arranged on the bridge structure after repairing fatigue cracks to collect strain data and load data of the bridge during operation in real time;

[0050] For example, according to the stress distribution characteristics of the fatigue crack repair area, appropriate strain sensors and load sensors are selected; the strain sensor is a resistance strain gauge, the model is BE120-05AA, the range is ±5000 micro-strain, the sensitivity coefficient is 2.0±0.1, and the resistance value is 120±0.5Ω; the load sensor is a pressure load sensor, the model is CYB-YB-50KN, the range is 050kN, the overall accuracy is 0.02%FS, and the output signal is 05V.

[0051] Exemplarily, the strain gauges are arranged at key positions in and near the fatigue crack repair area, including the crack tip, the crack propagation path, the stress concentration area, etc.; at least 3 strain gauges are arranged at each key position, respectively arranged along the longitudinal direction, the transverse direction and the 45° direction of the bridge, to measure the strain response in different directions; the load sensors are arranged at the key sections of the bridge to measure the load acting on the bridge.

[0052] Exemplarily, a wireless sensor network system is built, which is composed of wireless strain nodes, wireless load nodes, wireless relay nodes and wireless base stations; the wireless strain nodes and the wireless load nodes are connected with the strain gauges and the load sensors respectively, to collect strain data and load data, and transmit the data to the wireless relay nodes through wireless communication; the wireless relay nodes transmit the data to the wireless base stations, and the wireless base stations are connected with the upper computer to realize data storage and processing.

[0053] Exemplarily, the data collection frequency of the wireless sensor network is set to 200 Hz to ensure that the dynamic change characteristics of the load and the strain can be accurately captured; the data collection time T is determined according to actual needs.

[0054] The collected load data P(t) and strain data are preprocessed, including denoising and outlier rejection; the wavelet transform method is used for denoising the original data, the wavelet base function is selected as sym5, and the decomposition layer number is 5; the denoised data is detected and rejected for outliers.

[0055] The preprocessed load data and strain data are constructed into time series data, represented as P(t)|t=1,2,...,m and n0=1,2,...,n, where m is the number of sampling points, m=f s T, f s is the sampling frequency, and n is the number of strain sensors;

[0056] This step collects the strain data of the fatigue crack repair area and the load data of the bridge by arranging strain sensors and load sensors in real time, which provides reliable data support for subsequent fatigue fracture analysis and life prediction; the collected data is preprocessed, including denoising and outlier rejection, which improves the quality of the data and lays a foundation for subsequent data analysis; time series data representing the strain response of the fatigue crack repair area and the load action of the bridge are formed, which provides data input for subsequent feature parameter extraction, fatigue crack propagation rate analysis and life prediction.

[0057] Step 2: Based on the finite element analysis method, the dynamic response characteristic parameters are extracted in combination with the stress distribution characteristics of the fatigue crack repair area.

[0058] According to the bridge design drawings and the fatigue crack repair scheme, a finite element model of the bridge structure is established by using the finite element software ANSYS; the model considers the geometric size, material properties, boundary conditions and characteristics of the fatigue crack repair area of the bridge; the eight-node solid element SOLID185 is used to simulate the bridge structure, and the six-node triangular element PLANE183 is used to simulate the fatigue crack repair area; the mesh near the fatigue crack repair area is densified to improve the calculation accuracy.

[0059] According to the load data P(t)|t=1, 2,..., m collected in step 1, the load working condition of the finite element model is set; the load is applied at the key section of the bridge, and the size and direction are consistent with the measured load data; the time history of the load is the same as the collected load time series, and the loading frequency is consistent with the sampling frequency; multiple load working conditions are set to correspond to different load levels and loading methods to simulate the load action in the actual bridge operation process.

[0060] For each load working condition, a finite element static analysis is performed to obtain the stress distribution cloud diagram of the fatigue crack repair area; the stress distribution cloud diagram reflects the stress distribution characteristics of the fatigue crack repair area, including stress concentration and stress gradient; the stress tensor of the fatigue crack repair area is σ ij =[σ xx ,σ yy ,σ zz ,τ xy ,τ yz ,τ zx ] ij ,σ xx ,σ yy ,σ zz are normal stress components, and τ xy ,τ yz ,τ zx are shear stress components.

[0061] Based on the stress distribution characteristics of the fatigue crack repair area, dynamic response characteristic parameters are extracted; the dynamic response characteristic parameters include stress amplitude, stress ratio, stress gradient and stress triaxiality.

[0062] Stress amplitude: at the load peak and valley time, the maximum principal stress σ1 and the minimum principal stress σ3 of the fatigue crack repair area are extracted, and the stress amplitude Δσ=σ1-σ3 is calculated.

[0063] Stress ratio: at the load peak time, the maximum principal stress σ1 and the minimum principal stress σ3 of the fatigue crack repair area are extracted, and the stress ratio R=σ3 / σ1 is calculated.

[0064] Stress gradient: at the load peak time, the stress tensors σ ij and σi'j' , the stress gradient G = |σ ij -σ i'j' | / d is calculated, where d is the distance between the centers of two units.

[0065] Stress triaxiality: at the moment of the load peak, the stress tensor σ ij of the unit in the fatigue crack repair area is extracted, and the stress triaxiality Y T is calculated, where σ m is the average normal stress, and the calculation formula of σ eq is: σ m = (σ m + σ m + σ xx ) / 3. yy zz

[0066] σ eq is the equivalent stress, and the calculation formula of σ eq is:

[0067]

[0068] Suppose that l dynamic response characteristic parameters are extracted, and the dynamic response characteristic parameters under the i-th load condition can be expressed as X i = (x i1 , x i2 ,..., x il ).

[0069] In this step, the stress distribution characteristics of the fatigue crack repair area under actual load are obtained through finite element analysis, which provides a basis for the extraction of dynamic response characteristic parameters; the dynamic response characteristic parameters representing the fatigue crack propagation characteristics are extracted, including stress amplitude, stress ratio, stress gradient, and stress triaxiality, etc. These characteristic parameters are closely related to the fatigue crack propagation rate and are important influencing factors for fatigue life prediction; the dynamic response characteristic parameters extracted under different load conditions are constructed into a characteristic parameter set, which provides data support for subsequent data fusion, preprocessing, and deep learning model training.

[0070] Step 3: Multi-dimensional data fusion and preprocessing are performed on the dynamic response characteristic parameters to construct a data set for training a deep learning algorithm.

[0071] The load time series data P(t)|t = 1, 2,..., m and the strain time series data n0 = 1, 2,..., n collected in step 1 are subjected to multi-dimensional data fusion with the dynamic response characteristic parameters X i extracted in step 2 to construct a fusion data set D = {(P j , E j , X​​j P(tj), P(tj+1), …, P(tj+k)}, j = 1, 2, …, N} ; P j = (P(t1), P(t2), …, P(t k ) is the load sequence of the jth sample; E j = (ε1(t1), …, ε1(t k ), ε2(t1), …, ε2(t k ), …, ε(t1), …, ε n (t k ) is the strain sequence of the jth sample, X j = (X i1 , X i2 , …, X il ) is the dynamic response characteristic parameter corresponding to the jth sample, N is the total number of samples, and k is the time step of each sample; by multi-dimensional data fusion, the load, strain, and dynamic response characteristic parameter are integrated into a high-dimensional data set, improving the information density and relevance of the data.

[0072] The fusion data set D is preprocessed, including data normalization, data enhancement, and data division.

[0073] The data normalization includes: using the maximum and minimum value normalization method, the load sequence P j , the strain sequence E j , and the dynamic response characteristic parameter X j are normalized to the interval [0, 1] respectively, that is:

[0074]

[0075] wherein, and are the normalized load, strain, and dynamic response characteristic parameter respectively, x iq is the unnormalized dynamic response characteristic parameter, min(·) and max(·) represent the minimum value and the maximum value respectively; the normalization process can eliminate the influence of different dimensions and orders of magnitude, and improve the comparability of the data.

[0076] The data enhancement includes: using data expansion technology, the fusion data set D is expanded to generate new training samples; the data expansion method includes: adding random noise to the load sequence P j and the strain sequence E j , randomly perturbing the dynamic response characteristic parameter X j , randomly cropping and splicing the samples; data enhancement can effectively increase the number and diversity of training samples, and improve the generalization ability and robustness of the deep learning model.

[0077] The data division includes: dividing the pre-processed fusion data set D into a training set and a validation set, wherein the training set is used to train the deep learning model, and the validation set is used to adjust the model hyperparameters and prevent overfitting.

[0078] Based on the pre-processed fusion data set, a training deep learning data set for training the deep learning algorithm is constructed; each sample is represented in the form of (S j ,y j ), wherein is the input feature of the jth sample, and are the normalized load sequence, strain sequence and dynamic response feature parameter sequence respectively, y j is the crack propagation rate or residual life corresponding to the jth sample; the crack propagation rate and residual life are determined according to actual monitoring data or theoretical calculation formula, as the training label of the deep learning model, to obtain the training data set D train ={(S j ,y j )|j=1,2,...,N1} and the validation data set D val ={(Sj,y j )|j=N1+1,N1+2,...,N2}, wherein N1 and N2 are the number of samples in the training set and the validation set respectively.

[0079] This step integrates the load, strain and dynamic response feature parameters into a high-dimensional data set through multi-dimensional data fusion, fully utilizes various monitoring data and finite element analysis results, improves the information density and relevance of the data, and provides rich feature information for the training of the deep learning model; data normalization, data enhancement and data division are used for standardization, expansion and optimization of the fusion data set, which improves the quality and applicability of the data and enhances the generalization ability and robustness of the deep learning model; a data set for training the deep learning algorithm is constructed, the input features are mapped with the crack propagation rate or residual life, which provides direct data support for the training and prediction of the deep learning model, and lays the data foundation for fatigue life prediction.

[0080] Step 4: Combine deep learning algorithm and fracture mechanics theory to construct crack propagation rate prediction model and residual life prediction model.

[0081] Long short-term memory neural network (LSTM) is selected as the basic algorithm of the crack propagation rate prediction model; LSTM is a special recurrent neural network (RNN) that can effectively process time series data and capture long-term dependencies in data; LSTM overcomes the gradient vanishing and gradient explosion problems of traditional RNN by introducing a gating mechanism, and has stronger modeling ability and more stable training process.

[0082] Design the network structure of the LSTM model, including an input layer, an LSTM layer, a fully connected layer, and an output layer; the input layer receives the training dataset D constructed in step 3. train ={(S j ,y j )|j=1,2,...,N1}, where Let y be the input feature of the j-th sample. j The label is the crack propagation rate of the j-th sample; the LSTM layer consists of multiple LSTM units, each containing an input gate, a forget gate, an output gate, and a memory unit, which can adaptively learn and remember the features of the time series data; the fully connected layer is used to extract the high-level features of the LSTM layer output and map them to the predicted crack propagation rate; the output layer uses a linear activation function to output the predicted crack propagation rate value.

[0083] Using training dataset D train The LSTM model is trained and its parameters are optimized; mean squared error (MSE) is used as the loss function, i.e.:

[0084]

[0085] Among them, y j The label for the crack propagation rate of the j-th sample. Label the crack propagation rate predicted by the LSTM model; employ the Adam optimization algorithm to minimize the loss function, adaptively adjusting the model's weights and biases; during training, utilize the validation dataset D. val The model is validated and its generalization performance is monitored to avoid overfitting. When the performance on the validation set reaches its optimum, the model parameters are saved as the final crack propagation rate prediction model.

[0086] By introducing the theory of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM), a relationship is established between the crack propagation rate and the stress intensity factor range ΔK; the Paris formula is used to describe the crack propagation rate da / dN. z The relationship with ΔK is as follows: Where a is the crack size, N z To load the loop count, C and is a material constant.

[0087] The stress intensity factor range ΔK is related to the stress amplitude Δσ and the crack size a, and can be expressed as: Where Y is a correction factor related to crack shape and crack size.

[0088] Based on the Paris formula and the calculation formula of the stress intensity factor range, a residual life prediction model is constructed; the crack propagation rate da / dN is predicted by using the LSTM model z ; the predicted crack propagation rate is substituted into the Paris formula to obtain: The integral of the above formula is obtained to obtain the cumulative cycle number N of crack propagation f , that is: where a0 is the initial crack size, a c is the critical crack size;

[0089] The residual life N r can be expressed as: N r =N f -N0; where N0 is the current loading cycle number; by solving the above integral equation, the residual life prediction value of the repaired structure is obtained.

[0090] In this step, the LSTM neural network is used to construct a crack propagation rate prediction model, which fully utilizes the characteristics of time series data, captures the dynamic change law of the crack propagation process, and improves the accuracy of crack propagation rate prediction; the theory of fracture mechanics is introduced to establish a physical relationship between the crack propagation rate and the stress intensity factor range, which enhances the interpretability and rationality of the residual life prediction model; by combining deep learning algorithm and fracture mechanics theory, a residual life prediction model is constructed, which comprehensively considers the load, strain and dynamic response characteristics, and improves the reliability and applicability of life prediction; by solving the integral equation, the quantitative life prediction result is obtained, which provides a direct basis for subsequent warning and decision-making.

[0091] Step 5: According to the bridge operation state and the performance degradation law of the repaired area, the residual life of the repaired structure is predicted, and multi-level warning is carried out.

[0092] According to the residual life prediction value N r of the repaired structure obtained in step 4, the safety state of the structure is warned in multiple levels; the warning threshold N warn and the alarm threshold N alarm are set, when the residual life prediction value N r is lower than the warning threshold, a warning signal is sent out, prompting the need to strengthen monitoring and detection, and evaluating the safety performance of the structure; when the residual life prediction value N r is lower than the alarm threshold, an alarm signal is sent out, prompting the need to take measures such as load limiting and reinforcement to ensure the safe use of the structure.

[0093] The warning threshold N warn and the alarm threshold N alarmThe threshold value can be determined according to a design file, an evaluation criterion or expert experience, and is generally a certain percentage of the design life, such as 80% and 90%; the specific threshold value can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0094] The step realizes real-time monitoring and risk prompting of the safety state of the repaired structure, and provides a scientific basis for operation management and maintenance decision-making through multi-level early warning; this helps to improve the safety and reliability of bridge operation, prolong the service life of the bridge and reduce the life cycle cost.
