Abstract

The invention provides an evaluation method and system for a bolt connection process of a mechanical structure, and the method comprises the steps: obtaining a plurality of images containing gaps among bolts, nuts and connecting pieces within a first set time period after the bolt connection operation of the mechanical structure, carrying out the preprocessing of the images, and extracting geometric features; on the basis of the extracted geometric features, comparing the contact area of the bolt, the nut and the connecting piece with the theoretical contact area, calculating the fitting rate, and carrying out surface crack quantification to obtain an appearance detection result; the stress state of the bolt is determined based on the ultrasonic detection data, the pre-tightening force borne by the bolt is calculated, and an axial force detection result is obtained; and integrating the appearance detection result and the axial force detection result, introducing a weight and a physical constraint item, determining a final detection result, and forming an evaluation report of the bolt connection process of the mechanical structure according to the final detection result. According to the invention, the limitation of a single detection method is solved, and effective evaluation of the tightening process is realized.
