Description

[0002] The aircraft landing gear is an important component for supporting the aircraft, and needs to bear the huge impact force from the weight of the aircraft body and the vertical direction during the take-off and landing stages of the aircraft. Therefore, the material of the aircraft landing gear must have extremely high yield strength. The aircraft landing gear outer cylinder is produced by hot forming forging, and the forming process has many times of heating and a long process flow. The yield strength of the formed part is affected by many process parameters. Traditional yield strength detection uses destructive testing to measure, which is not only expensive, but also needs to go through complex experimental design, sample preparation, sample calibration and tensile testing steps.

[0003] With the development of machine learning technology, more and more scholars use machine learning models to predict the physical properties of hot-formed products. However, as a black box model, machine learning can only extract limited data features and data correlation, and cannot explain the physical laws of objective phenomena. Moreover, a sufficiently robust data-driven machine learning model must have a large amount of training data, which means a large amount of time and economic cost.

[0064] In summary, the one or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0065] 1. The present application introduces physical information constraints during the training process of deep neural networks, incorporating the physical laws between forging temperature, forging time and yield strength, so that the model learns data features while following known physical mechanisms, thereby reducing the dependence on large-scale data samples and improving modeling efficiency. Compared with pure data-driven deep learning methods, the use of physical information to guide model optimization enables the model to effectively learn and generalize reasonable yield strength prediction results even with a small number of samples. In addition, through correlation analysis and contribution analysis, key process parameters are selected to avoid redundant information interference with model training, improve data utilization, and further reduce the required data sample size while ensuring the physical interpretability and engineering applicability of the prediction results.

[0066] 2. By analyzing the linear correlation between different process parameters through Pearson correlation coefficient, redundant or highly correlated features are identified, thereby reducing the dimensionality of input data, improving model calculation efficiency and stability. At the same time, random forest contribution analysis is used to evaluate the influence of each process parameter on yield strength, ensuring that the selected input features have a significant contribution to model prediction, and improving the physical interpretability of the model. Combined with these two analysis methods, unnecessary computational overhead can be reduced while ensuring model prediction accuracy, improving data utilization, and enhancing the model's ability to generalize to different conditions, making yield strength prediction more accurate and reliable.

[0067] 3. Combined with the pure data-driven yield strength loss function and the physical information yield strength loss function constructed based on physical laws, the loss value is calculated through forward propagation during neural network training, and the weights are adjusted through back propagation to optimize the model prediction performance. The pure data-driven loss function ensures that the model can effectively fit the experimental data, while the physical information loss function introduces the physical constraints of forging temperature, forging time and yield strength to ensure that the model prediction results conform to the physical laws of the material forming process. This method not only improves the accuracy of yield strength prediction, but also reduces the required sample size, enhances the model's generalization ability and physical interpretability, and provides reasonable prediction results under different process conditions.

[0068] 4. Calculate the mean absolute percentage error to measure the degree of deviation between experimental measurements and yield strength prediction values, to quantitatively evaluate the error level of the model and ensure the reliability of the prediction results. At the same time, the determination coefficient is calculated to evaluate the goodness of fit of the model, to measure the explanatory power of the predicted values to the actual measurements, and to ensure the effective learning of the model on the data trend.

The terms "include", "contain", "have" and their variants mean "include but are not limited to", unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0076] Machine learning model needs a large amount of data samples when training, which leads to the problem of large modeling fund and time cost. For pure data-driven machine learning model, it is necessary to extract the data features hidden behind the samples and establish the mapping relationship between the input and the output, which requires a large amount of data. Collecting and analyzing data samples will consume a lot of time and computing cost. In addition, the trained model, that is, a black box model of input and output, lacks physical interpretability. In view of the above problems, the modeling process is guided by introducing physical constraint relationship, which can reduce the amount of data required for modeling to a certain extent, and make the model contain certain physical meaning.

[0077] The embodiment discloses an aircraft landing gear outer cylinder yield strength prediction method based on a physical information deep neural network, referring to Figure 1 , comprising the following steps S110-S150:

[0078] S110, collecting process data of the aircraft landing gear at different process stages.

[0079] The aircraft landing gear outer cylinder yield strength prediction method based on the physical information deep neural network disclosed in the embodiment is applied to a server. The server includes but is not limited to electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers, wearable devices, PC (Personal Computer), and the like. The server can also be a background server running the aircraft landing gear outer cylinder yield strength prediction method based on the physical information deep neural network. The server can be realized by an independent server or a server cluster composed of multiple servers.

[0080] In the process of collecting the process data of the aircraft landing gear at different process stages, the key process parameters of the free forging blank and the die forging forming stage need to be covered to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the data. Specifically, first of all, high-precision sensor equipment, including an infrared thermal imager, a speed sensor and a binocular camera, is needed to collect the parameters involved in the free forging and die forging process in real time. The determination of the transfer time needs to be combined with the length of the transmission path and the transfer speed to ensure the accuracy of the data; the forging time needs to be combined with the stroke number of the press and the single stamping time to measure, and high-frequency data recording technology is used to capture transient changes; the initial forging temperature and the final forging temperature of the forging are continuously monitored by using infrared temperature measurement equipment or thermocouples, and the data are corrected by combining temperature field simulation; the size of the forged part after final forging needs to be measured by using a laser measurement system or a high-precision three-coordinate measuring machine to ensure the reliability of the final size data; the determination of the forging speed needs to be combined with the speed control parameters of the press and the actual measured data for double verification to ensure that it reflects the actual forging working condition. All the collected data need to be preprocessed, including data cleaning, outlier detection and normalization processing, to improve the data quality and the accuracy of subsequent modeling. Finally, these data are stored in the SQL Server database to provide basic data support for the subsequent yield strength prediction model based on the physical information deep neural network.

[0081] In S120, the process data is preprocessed to obtain processed data.

[0082] When the process data is preprocessed to obtain processed data, first of all, missing value filling needs to be performed. During the data collection process, due to the limitation of sensor accuracy, data transmission interference or changes in the measurement environment, some process data may have missing values. To solve this problem, K- nearest neighbor algorithm is used to fill the missing values. Specifically, first of all, the Lagrange distance between the current sample and other samples is calculated, and the distance is based on the formula:

[0083]

[0084] The calculation is performed, where x i and x j represent the feature vectors of the two samples, F represents the feature index that does not contain missing points, and K nearest neighbor samples are determined by calculating the distance between the samples. Then, according to the average value of the corresponding features in the K nearest neighbor samples:

[0085]

[0086] The missing values are filled by the average value, so that the filled data is as close to the actual distribution as possible, reducing the influence of abnormal data on subsequent analysis. Next, the filled intermediate data is normalized to eliminate the dimensional differences between different process data and enhance the comparability of the data. The specific method is to use the minimum-maximum normalization formula:

[0087]

[0088] wherein x * is the processing data, ranging from [0, 1], x is the numerical value of the process feature, x max is the maximum value of the process feature, and x min is the minimum value of the process feature.

[0089] Through normalization, all process data is converted to the [0, 1] interval, ensuring that process data of different dimensions have consistent numerical ranges, providing a stable data foundation for subsequent machine learning modeling and analysis. After the above preprocessing steps, the final processing data for subsequent analysis is obtained, which can effectively reduce noise and improve the overall quality of the data and the reliability of the modeling.

[0090] S130, correlation analysis is performed on the processing data, and contribution analysis of the processing data to the yield strength is performed.

[0091] In the correlation analysis and contribution analysis of the processing data, first, the Pearson correlation coefficient is used to calculate the correlation between different processing data to determine which process data has strong linear correlation. Specifically, first, extract each process data variable from the normalized processing data set, calculate the mean and variance, and calculate the correlation between each variable, which is calculated by the following formula:

[0092]

[0093] wherein r is the correlation of different processing data, X i and X j are different processing data, var(X i )·var(X j ) is the variance between different processing data, and cov(X i , X j ) is the covariance between different processing data. The calculated r value ranges between [-1, 1], when r value is close to 1, it indicates that the two variables are highly positively correlated, close to -1, it indicates that they are highly negatively correlated, close to 0, it indicates that there is no obvious correlation. After analyzing the correlation results, the highly correlated process data is filtered to reduce data redundancy and improve the calculation efficiency of the model.

[0094] After the correlation analysis is completed, the contribution of the process data to the yield strength needs to be further calculated and processed to screen out key process data that have greater impact on the yield strength. A random forest model is used for contribution analysis, and the contribution of each process data is evaluated by calculating the mean decrease accuracy (MDA). In specific implementation, first, a random forest (RF) regression model is constructed, and the data set is trained to form multiple decision trees. For each decision tree, a part of the samples are randomly selected as out-of-bag (OOB) samples, and the prediction error of the OOB samples is calculated. Then, without changing other variables, the value of a certain process data is randomly disturbed, and the prediction error of the OOB samples is calculated again. The prediction error is calculated by the following formula:

[0095]

[0096] wherein T is the number of random trees in the RF, (X i ,Y i ) is the sample, X i is the sample corresponding to the process data, Y i is the sample corresponding to the yield strength, D t is the out-of-bag sample set of the random tree t, D t j is the sample set formed after the jth dimension exchange, R k (X i ) is the yield strength prediction output of the sample X i , Y i k is the kth dimension output considering the multi-target regression.

[0097] If a certain process data has greater impact on the yield strength, the MDA value after replacement increases, otherwise the impact is smaller. Finally, according to the size of the MDA value, the process data with higher contribution is screened out, and is used for subsequent deep neural network model training to improve the prediction accuracy and physical interpretability of the model.

[0098] S140, according to the results of the correlation analysis and the results of the contribution analysis, the target process parameters for modeling are screened out from the process data.

[0099] In the process of screening the target process parameters for modeling from the processing data, firstly, the results of correlation analysis and contribution analysis are comprehensively utilized to ensure that the input parameters can avoid redundant information and effectively represent the factors that have the most significant influence on the yield strength. Specifically, firstly, the correlation matrix obtained by using Pearson correlation coefficient analysis is used to calculate the correlation r value between all process data, and a certain correlation threshold (for example, |r|>0.8) is used as a standard to screen out parameters with too high correlation to avoid data redundancy and multicollinearity problems. For the parameters with too high correlation, the parameter with higher contribution to the yield strength is selected to remain, and the parameter with lower contribution is removed to improve the stability of the model.

[0100] Next, according to the results of random forest contribution analysis, the process data that has the most significant influence on the yield strength is screened out. Firstly, the MDA values of all parameters are sorted, and a contribution threshold (such as the top 10 parameters with the highest contribution, or parameters with a contribution of more than 80% of the total contribution) is set to retain process data with high contribution and remove parameters with low contribution. In specific implementation, the MDA values are first normalized so that the sum of the contribution of each parameter is normalized to 1, then the cumulative contribution is calculated, and the parameters with cumulative contribution reaching the set standard are selected.

[0101] In the final screening stage, the results of correlation analysis and contribution analysis are comprehensively utilized. If the contribution of a certain process data is high but highly correlated with other parameters, it can be processed by dimensionality reduction or feature engineering means, such as using principal component analysis (PCA) for dimensionality reduction, or selecting the most representative parameters based on expert knowledge. In addition, for parameters with low contribution, even if their correlation is low, they can be directly removed to reduce the complexity of the model and improve the calculation efficiency.

[0102] The final target process parameters for modeling should have the following characteristics: first, the correlation between them is low to reduce the interference of multicollinearity on model training; second, the contribution to the yield strength is high to ensure that the input features can reflect the influence of the process on the yield strength in the landing gear forming process to the greatest extent. After screening, these target process parameters will be used as input features of the deep neural network model to further predict the yield strength of the aircraft landing gear outer cylinder to improve the accuracy and physical interpretability of the model.

[0103] S150, input the target process parameters into the trained deep neural network based on physical information to obtain the predicted yield strength value of the aircraft landing gear outer cylinder.

[0104] In a possible implementation, before inputting the target process parameter into the trained deep neural network based on physical information to obtain the predicted yield strength value of the aircraft landing gear outer cylinder, the method further comprises: reducing the value of the loss function corresponding to the deep neural network based on physical information through forward propagation and back propagation, the loss function comprising a pure data-driven yield strength loss function and a physical information yield strength loss function, wherein the pure data-driven yield strength loss function is defined by the square of the difference between the experimental measurement value and the yield strength prediction value, and the physical information yield strength loss function is constructed according to the physical law of yield strength and forging temperature and time of a forging piece.

[0105] Specifically, in the process of training the deep neural network based on physical information to predict the yield strength of the aircraft landing gear outer cylinder, it is necessary to first construct a loss function to guide model optimization, and the loss function is composed of a pure data-driven yield strength loss function and a physical information yield strength loss function. The pure data-driven yield strength loss function is calculated by the square of the error between the experimental measurement value and the yield strength prediction value, and its expression is:

[0106]

[0107] wherein σ s is the yield strength prediction value, σ s is the experimental measurement value.

[0108] Minimization of the loss function can make the model more accurately fit the experimental data.

[0109] The physical information yield strength loss function is constructed based on the physical relationship between yield strength and forging temperature and time, and the first and second order derivatives of yield strength with respect to forging temperature and time are used to constrain the model output, so as to balance the influence of physical loss on overall optimization. In the training process, the loss value is calculated by forward propagation, and the weight is adjusted by calculating the gradient of the loss function with respect to the network parameters using the back propagation algorithm, so that the value of the loss function gradually decreases. In the optimization process, the gradient descent algorithm or the Adam optimization algorithm is used to improve the convergence speed and ensure the training stability. Finally, when the loss function reaches the convergence standard or the number of training iterations reaches the set value, the network model is trained and can input the target process parameter to predict the yield strength of the aircraft landing gear outer cylinder. Through this method, not only the prediction accuracy of the model is improved, but also the physical interpretability and generalization ability of the model are enhanced.

[0110] Further, in constructing the physical information yield strength loss function of the deep neural network based on physical information, firstly, the influence of forging temperature and forging speed on yield strength in the forging process of aircraft landing gear and the saturation effect thereof need to be analyzed. With the increase of forging temperature, the yield strength of metal material generally decreases, while the increase of forging time can increase the yield strength at the initial stage, but when exceeding a certain threshold, the yield strength decreases due to the dynamic recrystallization and grain growth effect of microstructure. Therefore, based on these physical laws, the physical constraint condition is constructed, that is, to ensure that the temperature gradient and time gradient of yield strength conform to the physical laws, and to conduct second-order derivative constraint on the time variation rate of yield strength to avoid non-physical prediction results. The influence of forging temperature and forging speed on yield strength and the saturation effect thereof in the forging process of landing gear can be expressed by the following formula:

[0111]

[0112] wherein, is the first-order derivative of yield strength with respect to forging temperature, is the first-order derivative of yield strength with respect to forging time, is the second-order derivative of yield strength with respect to forging time.

[0113] In determining the optimization objective for training the deep neural network, the above physical constraint condition needs to be formalized and combined with the training process of neural network for optimization. The optimization objective is set as follows: the predicted value of the network not only matches the experimental data, but also meets the physical constraint, that is, the derivatives of yield strength with respect to forging temperature and forging time meet reasonable physical laws, especially to ensure that the first-order derivative of yield strength with respect to temperature is a non-positive value to reflect its downward trend, and to ensure that the derivative of yield strength with respect to time presents a trend of first positive and then negative to reflect the saturation effect of forging time. The optimization objective can be expressed as:

[0114]

[0115] In order to convert the optimization objective into a trainable unconstrained optimization problem, the penalty function method is adopted to adjust the structure of loss function, that is:

[0116]

[0117] In the formula, η is a relaxation factor, and f(·) is a penalty function. The specific method is to introduce a non-negative constraint term, so that when the physical law is violated, the corresponding loss term increases, thereby guiding the model to automatically meet the physical constraint in the optimization process. The physical information yield strength loss function is expressed as follows:

[0118]

[0119] wherein, the first order derivative of yield strength with respect to forging temperature, the first order derivative of yield strength with respect to forging time, the second order derivative of yield strength with respect to forging time. The first term ensures that the yield strength does not abnormally increase with the increase of forging temperature, the second term ensures that the yield strength increases within a reasonable forging time range, and the third term ensures that the change rate of yield strength with respect to time conforms to the physical law, i.e. to prevent the predicted value from abnormal oscillation or unreasonable trend.

[0120] Finally, in the neural network training process, the loss function of the model is composed of the data-driven loss function and the physical information yield strength loss function, and is iteratively optimized through the gradient descent or Adam optimization algorithm, so that the prediction result not only minimizes the error of experimental data, but also meets the physical constraints of forging temperature and time on yield strength, thereby improving the physical interpretability, generalization ability and robustness of the prediction model.

[0121] Further, in the evaluation of the aircraft landing gear outer cylinder yield strength prediction model based on the physical information deep neural network, the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and the determination coefficient (R 2 ) are used to measure the prediction accuracy of the model, and the SHAP value is used to analyze the interpretability of the model. First, the MAPE is calculated to measure the average relative error of the model, which can reflect the deviation between the experimental measured value and the yield strength predicted value. Its calculation formula is:

[0122]

[0123] where σ s i is the i-th yield strength predicted value, σ s i is the i-th experimental measured value, and n is the number of samples.

[0124] In the calculation, the errors of all test set samples are summed and averaged, and then converted to percentage. The smaller the MAPE value, the smaller the prediction error and the higher the model accuracy.

[0125] Next, the determination coefficient (R 2 ) is calculated to measure the goodness of fit of the model, and its formula is:

[0126]

[0127] where y i is the actual measured value, is the model predicted value, is the average of all actual measured values. The numerator part calculates the sum of squared errors between the model predicted values and the actual measured values, and the denominator part calculates the sum of squared errors of the actual measured values relative to their mean. When R 2 approaches 1, it indicates that the model has a high degree of fitting to the data and the prediction result is more accurate; when R 2 is lower, it indicates that the prediction effect of the model is poor, and the neural network structure may need to be optimized or the feature selection strategy may need to be adjusted.

[0128] Finally, in order to analyze the explainability of the model, SHAP (Shapley Additive Explanations) values are used to quantify the influence of each input feature on the prediction result. The SHAP method is based on cooperative game theory, which evaluates the importance of each process data by calculating its marginal contribution to the yield strength prediction value under different combinations. In specific implementation, first, the SHAP explanation framework is applied to the trained neural network model to calculate the SHAP value of each input process data, and SHAP importance ranking chart and dependence chart are generated to intuitively display the influence direction and degree of each process data on the yield strength. The positive and negative of the SHAP value represents the promotion or reduction of the feature to the prediction value, and the absolute value size represents the strength of the influence. By analyzing the SHAP value, it can be identified which process data contributes most to the yield strength, so as to optimize the forging process and improve the quality control level of the production process. Finally, the prediction performance of the model is evaluated by MAPE and R 2 , and the explainability of the model is improved by combining SHAP analysis, making the application of deep neural networks based on physical information in landing gear yield strength prediction more reliable and more engineering usable.

[0129] After data preprocessing is completed, the target process parameters are input into the trained deep neural network, which has been optimized based on physical information and trained by combining data-driven methods. The forward propagation process of the network first passes through the input layer, transmits the target process parameters to the hidden layer, calculates the high-dimensional feature mapping in the hidden layer through multiple neurons and nonlinear activation functions (such as ReLU or Leaky ReLU), and transmits information layer by layer to learn the complex relationship between process parameters and yield strength.

[0130] In the forward propagation process, the model will calculate the target process parameters based on the learned weight parameters and output the predicted yield strength value. Since the deep neural network has integrated physical information constraints, when calculating the prediction value, it will implicitly satisfy the physical law constraints of yield strength on forging temperature and forging time, ensuring the physical consistency of the output. Finally, in the output layer of the network, the predicted yield strength value is calculated through a linear regression layer or a regression activation function, and the prediction result
