Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of coal and rock synchronous loading and CT scanning tests, as well as CT image processing, and particularly relates to a coal and rock synchronous loading and CT scanning method based on deep learning adaptive control. Background Art
[0002] When conducting coal and rock synchronous loading and CT scanning tests, generally, the loading rate of the loading device and the time interval for one scan of the CT scanning device are preset before the test; however, since the deformation rate of the coal and rock specimen is relatively fast after cracks are generated, if the loading rate is fast, the number of images of the crack development process of the coal and rock test obtained by the CT scanning device will be small, affecting subsequent test analysis; and if the loading rate is slow, the loading time before the coal and rock specimen generates cracks will be long, affecting the overall test efficiency; and it is difficult to grasp the adjustment timing of the loading rate by artificially adopting different loading rates at different times during the loading of the coal and rock specimen according to experience; and if the loading rate is adjusted after manually analyzing the crack development situation after obtaining the CT scan images, it will also be disadvantageous for timely adjusting the loading rate due to the long time for manually analyzing the crack development situation. In addition, the crack development rate of the coal and rock specimen is different at different stages of crack development, and the corresponding required loading rate settings are also different, which poses a greater challenge to the adjustment of the loading rate. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a coal and rock synchronous loading and CT scanning method based on deep learning adaptive control, including the following steps: S1. Construct a coal and rock synchronous loading and CT scanning system The coal and rock synchronous loading and CT scanning system includes a loading system, a CT scanning system, and an AI edge computing unit; the AI edge computing unit can real-time obtain the CT images scanned and reconstructed by the CT scanning system, and can also provide the loading rate parameters to the loading system in real time; S2. Construct a coal and rock synchronous loading and CT scanning adaptive control model The model includes several feature extraction modules based on deep convolutional neural networks and temporal information capture modules based on long short-term memory networks connected to each feature extraction module one by one; the output ends of all temporal information capture modules are connected to the state prediction module, and adjacent temporal information capture modules are connected; the state prediction module is a fully connected layer, and outputs the predicted crack state, including crack initiation state, crack propagation state, and crack penetration state; S3. Train the model and embed it in the AI edge computing unit in software form, and set the loading rate adjustment parameters corresponding to each crack state; S4. Perform coal and rock synchronous loading and CT scanning with adaptive control.

[0007] Preferably, in step S2, the fracture state is divided based on the fracture length change rate and the fracture width change rate.
[0008] Preferably, in step S3, CT images obtained after synchronous loading and CT scanning tests are performed on a number of coal and rock specimens are acquired; for each coal and rock specimen, assuming that it has a total of M CT images, the consecutive N CT images starting from the first one are used as sample characteristics, and the fracture state corresponding to the fracture length change rate and width change rate calculated based on the N +1-th CT image and the N -th CT image is used as the sample label, 2 ≤ N +1 ≤ M ; after establishing a number of samples, they are brought into the model for training.
[0009] Preferably, in step S4, a coal and rock synchronous loading and CT scanning system is used for the test. The CT scanning system acquires CT images in real time and inputs the CT images into the trained model.

Detailed Embodiments
[0012] In the detailed embodiments section, the technical solutions of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0013] As Figure 1-2 shown, the present invention provides a method for synchronous loading of coal and rock specimens and CT scanning based on deep learning adaptive control, including the following steps: S1. Construct a synchronous loading and CT scanning system for coal and rock specimens As Figure 1 shown, the synchronous loading and CT scanning system for coal and rock specimens includes a loading system, a CT scanning system, and an AI edge computing unit; the loading system includes a fixed base 6, a fixed gantry 7 is arranged on the fixed base 6, a loading motor 1 is arranged at the center of the fixed gantry 7, a pressure rod 2 is connected to the lower part of the loading motor 1, a pressure head 3 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the pressure rod 2, a rotating base 5 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 6, the rotating base 5 is located directly below the pressure head 3, and a coal and rock specimen 4 for testing is arranged between the rotating base 5 and the pressure head 3; the loading system further includes a loading control unit, and the loading control unit is at least used to control the loading rate and loading pressure of the loading system; The CT scanning system includes a radiator (ray source) 8 and a ray source 9, which are arranged at the same height as the coal and rock specimen 4 and are located on both sides of the loading system, such as arranged on the left and right sides or arranged on the front and back sides; the CT scanning system further includes a scanning control unit, and the scanning control unit is at least used to control the time interval for one scan; The AI edge computing unit is connected to the CT scanning system to obtain in real time the CT images scanned and reconstructed by the CT scanning system. The AI edge computing unit is also connected to the loading system to provide in real time the loading rate parameters to the loading control unit. The NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier is used as the hardware of the AI edge computing unit. S2. Construct an adaptive control model for synchronous coal-rock loading and CT scanning As Figure 2 shown, the model is modeled by fusing two deep learning networks, namely, the convolutional neural network (CNN) and the long short-term memory network (LSTM). It includes several feature extraction modules based on the deep convolutional neural network and the corresponding number of temporal information capture modules based on the long short-term memory network. The feature extraction modules are implemented by convolution and pooling operations based on the ResNet-18 model, the activation function uses the non-linear activation function ReLU, and the pooling operation type is L p pooling. The input of each feature extraction module is a single CT image. In order to fuse the ResNet-18 model with the LSTM model, the last layer of the ResNet-18 network model is removed to output a three-dimensional tensor, and the dimension values of the three dimensions are 1, 1, and 4,096 respectively. The temporal information capture module is mainly constructed based on the long short-term memory network (LSTM model). The long short-term memory network contains three control gates: input, output, and forget. Its structure is well known in the art and will not be elaborated here. The input of each temporal information capture module is the output of the feature extraction module, and the output ends of all temporal information capture modules are connected to the state prediction module, and adjacent temporal information capture modules are connected to each other. The state prediction module is a fully connected layer, and its output dimension is 3, corresponding to three predicted fracture states, including fracture initiation state, fracture propagation state, and fracture penetration state. Extract the fracture features in the CT image through the convolutional neural network (CNN), including the length and width of the fracture. The long short-term memory network (LSTM) predicts the evolution trend of the fracture according to the historical data and judges the fracture state. Among them, the conditions corresponding to the crack initiation state are: the crack length change rate is less than 0.05 mm / min, and the crack width change rate is less than 0.02 mm / min; the conditions corresponding to the crack propagation state are: the crack length change rate is between 0.05 and 0.2 mm / min, or the crack width change rate is between 0.02 and 0.1 mm / min; the crack penetration state is: the crack length change rate is greater than 0.2 mm / min, or the crack width change rate is greater than 0.1 mm / min; the calculation method of the crack length change rate is: calculated by the ratio of the difference between the maximum crack length on the next CT image and the maximum crack length on the previous CT image to the time difference between the two CT image scans; the calculation method of the crack width change rate is: calculated by the ratio of the difference between the maximum crack width on the next CT image and the maximum crack width on the previous CT image to the time difference between the two CT image scans; S3. Train the model and embed it in the AI edge computing unit in the form of software Obtain the CT images obtained after performing synchronous loading and CT scanning tests on several coal and rock specimens; for each coal and rock specimen, assuming it has a total of M CT images, the consecutive N CT images starting from the first one can be used as sample characteristics, and based on the crack length change rate and width change rate corresponding to the N +1th CT image and the N th CT image, the corresponding crack state is used as the sample label, 2 ≤ N +1 ≤ M ; after establishing several samples, bring them into the model for training; Embed the trained model in the AI edge computing unit in the form of software, and set that when the crack initiation state appears, the AI edge computing unit gives an instruction to the loading control unit: adjust the loading rate to 50% of the initial set loading rate; when the crack initiation state appears, the AI edge computing unit gives an instruction to the loading control unit: adjust the loading rate to 20% of the initial set loading rate; when the crack initiation state appears, the AI edge computing unit gives an instruction to the loading control unit: adjust the loading rate to 10% of the initial set loading rate.
[0014] S4. Perform adaptive control of coal and rock synchronous loading and CT scanning Use the coal and rock synchronous loading and CT scanning system to conduct experiments. The CT scanning system obtains CT images in real time and inputs the CT images into the trained model. The model can predict the crack changes and their corresponding crack states between the next CT image and the latest obtained CT image before scanning the next CT image, and adjust the loading rate when different crack states appear.
