Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of coal-rock synchronous loading and CT scanning test and CT image processing, and specifically relates to a coal-rock synchronous loading and CT scanning method based on deep learning adaptive control. Background Art

[0002] When conducting simultaneous coal-rock loading and CT scanning tests, the loading rate of the loading equipment and the interval between CT scans are generally preset before the test. However, since the deformation rate of coal-rock specimens after cracks are generated is relatively fast, a faster loading rate will result in fewer images of the crack development process captured by the CT scanning equipment, affecting subsequent test analysis. A slower loading rate, on the other hand, will result in a longer loading time before cracks are generated in the coal-rock specimens, affecting overall test efficiency. Artificially adopting different loading rates at different times during the loading of coal-rock specimens based on experience makes it difficult to accurately grasp the timing of loading rate adjustment. Furthermore, manually analyzing the crack development after obtaining CT scan images and then adjusting the loading rate is also time-consuming, making it difficult to adjust the loading rate in a timely manner. Furthermore, the crack development rates of coal-rock specimens vary at different stages of crack development, and the corresponding loading rates required are also different, posing a greater challenge to adjusting the loading rate. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a coal-rock synchronous loading and CT scanning method based on deep learning adaptive control, which includes the following steps:

[0006] S2. Constructing a model for adaptive control of coal-rock synchronous loading and CT scanning

[0007] The model includes several feature extraction modules based on deep convolutional neural networks and time series information capture modules based on long short-term memory networks, which are connected one-to-one with each feature extraction module. The output ends of all time series information capture modules are connected to the state prediction module, and adjacent time series information capture modules are connected. The state prediction module is a fully connected layer that outputs predicted crack states, including crack initiation state, crack expansion state, and crack penetration state.

[0011] Preferably, in step S1, the CT scanning system includes an irradiator and a ray source respectively located on both sides of the loading system, and also includes a scanning control unit, and the scanning control unit is at least used to control the time interval of a scan.

[0015] Preferably, in step S4, a coal-rock synchronous loading and CT scanning system is used for testing. The CT scanning system acquires CT images in real time and inputs the CT images into the trained model. Before scanning the next CT image, the model predicts the crack changes and their corresponding crack states between the next CT image and the most recently acquired CT image, and adjusts the loading rate when different crack states appear.

[0016] Beneficial Technical Effects: Based on the fusion modeling of two deep learning networks, a convolutional neural network and a long short-term memory network, the present invention can predict the fracture state corresponding to the fracture changes between the next CT image and the most recently acquired CT image based on the acquired CT image before scanning the next CT image, and promptly adjust the loading rate when different fracture states appear.

[0021] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the present invention proposes a method for synchronous coal-rock loading and CT scanning based on deep learning adaptive control, which includes the following steps:

[0022] S1. Construction of coal-rock synchronous loading and CT scanning system

The AI ​​edge computing unit uses NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier as hardware;

[0026] S2. Constructing a model for adaptive control of coal-rock synchronous loading and CT scanning

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the model is modeled by integrating two deep learning networks, convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short-term memory network (LSTM), including several feature extraction modules based on deep convolutional neural network and a corresponding number of time series information capture modules based on long short-term memory network. The feature extraction module is implemented by convolution and pooling operations based on ResNet-18 model. The activation function uses nonlinear 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 integrate 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 4096 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 forgetting. Its structure is well known in the art and will not be described 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; the state prediction module is a fully connected layer with an output dimension of 3, corresponding to three predicted crack states, including crack initiation state, crack expansion state, and crack penetration state;

[0028] A convolutional neural network (CNN) is used to extract crack features from CT images, including crack length and width. A long short-term memory network (LSTM) is used to predict crack evolution trends and determine crack status based on historical data.

[0029] Among them, the conditions corresponding to the crack initiation state are: the crack length change rate is less than 0.05mm / min, and the crack width change rate is less than 0.02mm / min; the conditions corresponding to the crack expansion state are: the crack length change rate is between 0.05 and 0.2mm / min, or the crack width change rate is between 0.02 and 0.1mm / min; the crack penetration state is: the crack length change rate is greater than 0.2mm / min, or the crack width change rate is greater than 0.1mm / min; the crack length change rate is calculated by: using the ratio of the difference between the maximum length of the crack on the next CT image and the maximum length of the crack on the previous CT image to the difference in scanning time between the two CT images; the crack width change rate is calculated by: using the ratio of the difference between the maximum width of the crack on the next CT image and the maximum width of the crack on the previous CT image to the difference in scanning time between the two CT images;

[0032] The trained model is embedded in the AI ​​edge computing unit in the form of software, and it is set that when a crack initiation state occurs, 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 a crack initiation state occurs, 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 a crack initiation state occurs, 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.

[0033] S4. Adaptive Control of Coal-Rock Synchronous Loading and CT Scanning

[0034] The experiment was conducted using a coal-rock synchronous loading and CT scanning system. The CT scanning system acquired CT images in real time and input the CT images into the trained model. The model can predict the crack changes and corresponding crack states between the next CT image and the most recently acquired CT image before scanning the next CT image, and adjust the loading rate when different crack states appear.
