Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of port loading and unloading equipment structure optimization, and particularly relates to a method for identifying weak parts of a loading and unloading arm and optimizing a reinforcement ring. Background Art

[0002] In industrial scenarios such as port operations, ship loading and unloading, and logistics, large loading and unloading arms are critical components used for lifting, transporting, and positioning cargo. With the increasing automation and scale of loading and unloading operations, the size of loading and unloading arms is increasing, and their wind resistance in high-altitude working environments is becoming increasingly problematic. This is especially true in complex environments such as strong winds, gusty winds, and sudden weather events. The loading and unloading arm structure can produce dramatic dynamic responses, directly impacting operational efficiency, equipment safety, and service life.

[0003] In current engineering design, traditional wind resistance analysis methods generally adopt the static wind load assumption, that is, simplified estimation through fixed wind pressure or gust factor. This method has obvious limitations. It is difficult to accurately simulate the non-steady-state disturbance characteristics in the actual wind field. It ignores the transient nature of wind speed in time and space, resulting in significant deviations between the response of the structure under actual working conditions and the simulation results. In addition, in terms of structural reinforcement design, existing schemes often rely on empirical rules to select reinforcement areas and lack a quantitative identification mechanism based on the structural response under actual wind loads. This is prone to problems such as redundant reinforcement or omission of key parts, which not only increases the weight of the system (typical weight increase of 15%-20%), but also reduces the dynamic response performance and flexible execution capability of the loading and unloading arm.

[0004] More critically, as a long, highly compliant structure, the loading and unloading arm is subject to the combined effects of varying wind angles, fluctuating wind loads, and turbulent fluctuations in actual wind fields, which can easily lead to structural vibration instability, such as vortex-induced vibration and flutter. If these vibrations are not controlled, they can not only cause structural fatigue damage, but can also lead to reduced end-of-line precision, abnormal mechanism operation, and even accidents in severe cases. Existing research lacks systematic dynamic failure mode identification methods and adaptive response control means, making it impossible to achieve full-process dynamic safety assurance for the loading and unloading arm in complex wind environments.

[0005] In summary, how to construct a wind-resistant optimization system that can consider the effects of non-steady-state wind loads, identify structural weak points, and achieve efficient strengthening design has become a key technical issue for improving the structural performance and safety of loading and unloading arms. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In response to the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention proposes a method for identifying weak points in loading and unloading arms and optimizing reinforcement rings. First, a non-steady-state pulsating wind field is constructed using the Davenport wind speed spectrum, and the Fourier superposition method is used to generate a time-varying wind speed history. The wind load time series at the node is calculated by combining the structural geometry and the wind attack angle. Subsequently, the loading and unloading arm structure is discretized into Euler beam units, and a finite element model including a stiffness matrix, a lumped mass matrix, and a Rayleigh damping matrix is ​​constructed. The Newmark-β method is then used to perform time-step integration on the structural response to obtain response data such as node displacement, stress, and curvature. On this basis, a multi-criteria criterion is constructed based on indicators such as stress, strain energy density, and curvature to identify weak nodes and areas of the structure. Based on the identification results, a parameterized reinforcement ring is placed in the weak section. The optimized moment of inertia is calculated by adjusting its outer diameter, wall thickness, and length, and an equivalent stiffness increment target is set. A multi-objective optimization function, aiming to minimize structural weight gain and maximize local stiffness, was further constructed. Combining geometric, strength, and weight constraints, a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) was employed to determine the optimal reinforcement ring configuration. This invention aims to address issues such as simplified wind load modeling, blind reinforcement design, and a lack of response-driven optimization mechanisms in traditional loading arm wind-resistant designs. This approach enables efficient identification of weak points in loading arms under unsteady wind loads and response-driven reinforcement optimization, achieving high precision, strong adaptability, and effective structural lightweighting.

[0007] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

During the response monitoring process, the key weak areas of the loading and unloading arm structure are automatically identified by combining stress thresholds, energy indicators and stress concentration coefficients through a customized multi-criteria weakness identification method. The identification results are used as input for the optimization design of the reinforcement ring, and a multi-objective optimization model with the goal of minimum structural weight gain and maximum stiffness improvement is further constructed. The outer diameter, wall thickness and length parameters of the reinforcement ring are input as variables into the genetic algorithm for iterative optimization to obtain the optimal reinforcement configuration that meets the performance constraints.

5. The method for identifying weak points of loading and unloading arms and optimizing reinforcement rings according to claim 3, characterized in that: The specific process of using the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm NSGA-II to solve the optimal balance in step S43 is as follows: P1. Initialize the population, for each individual in the population Calculate separately and ; P2. Group all individuals according to the Pareto dominance relationship. If a solution is not inferior to another solution in all objectives and is better in at least one objective, it is considered to dominate it. According to the dominance relationship between individuals, the best individuals are formed into the first-level non-dominated solution set, the second-best individuals are formed into the second-level non-dominated solution set, and so on. Group all individuals. P3. Within the same frontier, calculate the crowding distance between individuals, prioritize evenly distributed solutions, and prevent all individuals from concentrating on one side; P4. After completing selection, crossover, and mutation, a new generation of individuals is generated. The offspring and parent generations are merged to form a candidate set. The objective function is calculated and the non-dominated sorting is repeated. If the maximum algebra and convergence criterion is reached, a set of mutually non-dominated optimal solutions is output to form the Pareto frontier. Otherwise, repeat P1-P4.
