Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fiber composite material damage detection, and in particular to a fiber composite material damage diagnosis method based on physical neural network. Background Art
[0002] Fiber composites hold a crucial position in modern industry due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, and design flexibility. In aerospace, they are used in key components such as aircraft fuselages and wings, effectively reducing aircraft weight and improving fuel efficiency. In the automotive industry, they are used in the manufacture of vehicle bodies and parts, contributing to lightweighting and reducing energy consumption. In wind power generation, they are the core material for wind turbine blades, directly impacting power generation efficiency and blade lifespan.
[0003] However, in actual service, fiber composite materials are subjected to complex loads, environmental erosion and other effects for a long time, and are very prone to damage such as delamination, cracks, and debonding. These damages are often difficult to detect in the early stages, but once they develop and spread, they may cause catastrophic consequences and seriously threaten structural safety and stable system operation. Traditional damage detection methods, such as visual inspection, ultrasonic inspection, and radiographic inspection, can detect damage to a certain extent, but they have many limitations. Visual inspection relies on manual experience and is difficult to detect internal damage; ultrasonic inspection and radiographic inspection have high requirements for equipment, complex inspection processes, and cannot achieve real-time and dynamic monitoring, making it difficult to meet the needs of modern industry for efficient and accurate inspection of fiber composite materials.
[0004] With the cross-integration of artificial intelligence and materials science, data-driven machine learning methods are gradually being applied to the field of fiber composite material damage diagnosis. However, these methods typically rely solely on large amounts of data for model training and lack a deep understanding of the physical mechanisms of the materials. This results in insufficient generalization of the models under complex working conditions, making it difficult to guarantee the reliability and accuracy of the diagnostic results. Furthermore, in practical applications, the damage process of fiber composite materials involves the coupling of multidisciplinary physical parameters such as materials, mechanics, thermals, and electricity. A single data-driven model cannot effectively process this multidimensional information and cannot fully reveal the complex relationship between damage and various physical parameters. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a fiber composite material damage diagnosis method based on physical neural network, the specific steps are as follows:
[0006] Step 1: Construct a physical neural network model that integrates multi-dimensional physical parameters. This model comprehensively considers the material parameters, mechanical parameters, thermal parameters, and electrical parameters of fiber composite materials. The model architecture incorporates the physical mechanisms of material damage mechanics, thermal conduction, and electrical conduction. A network structure consisting of input, hidden, and output layers is constructed to provide a basic model framework for fiber composite material damage diagnosis.
[0007] Step 2: Feature data preprocessing: Filtering and noise reduction signal processing techniques are used to preprocess the acoustic emission signals and strain signals to remove interference noise. Acoustic emission sensors, vibrating wire surface strain sensors, and temperature sensors placed on the fiber composite material are used to collect multi-dimensional feature data from the damage process in real time, ensuring that the collected data accurately reflects the material's damage state and provides high-quality data support for model input.
[0008] Step 3: Conduct model training and optimization. Train the physical neural network model using multi-source data, optimize model parameters, and verify its generalization capability.
[0009] Step 4: Implement real-time dynamic monitoring of damage by embedding the optimized model into the monitoring system. By interacting with real-time data from sensors, real-time analysis and location of damage status can be achieved.
[0010] Step 5: Output standardized diagnostic results to provide strong technical support for the reliable application of fiber composite materials.
[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the physical neural network model for multi-dimensional physical parameter fusion constructed in step 1 can be expressed as:
[0012] Step 1.1 Determine input features and preprocess

For the l=1, 2, ..., L-1th layer, the calculation formula is
[0028] h (l) =f(W (l) h (l-1) +b (l) )
[0029] Among them, h (0) =X is the input vector, W (l) and b (l) are the weight matrix and bias vector of the lth layer, f is the ReLU activation function, h (l) is the output of the lth hidden layer;
[0030] Step 1.2.3. Output layer design:
[0031] The L-th layer output layer uses the Softmax function to output the probability distribution of damage categories, and outputs the physical quantities of temperature, strain, and electric field strength through the linear layer for subsequent physical constraint calculations. The specific design is as follows:
[0032]
[0033] in, and is the weight matrix and bias vector of the output layer, y is the predicted probability distribution vector, which represents the confidence of different damage categories; T pred , ε pred They are temperature prediction, strain prediction, y class is the probability distribution vector of the damage category;
[0034] Step 1.3 Construct the loss function under physical constraints

[0051] Among them, λ is the corresponding weight factor, which is adjusted according to the importance of each part to the final task;
[0052] Step 1.4 Model integration and implementation details
[0053] Goal: Integrate the above design into a complete and operational neural network system;
[0054] Steps:
[0055] Step 1.4.1 Model initialization:
[0056] Follow step 1.2 to define the input layer, the hidden layer with a fully connected layer and ReLU activation, and the output layer with Softmax and linear output. Use the He initialization method to set the hidden layer weights to avoid vanishing gradients. Initialize the output layer weights to small random numbers and the bias term to zero.
[0057] Step 1.4.3. Training optimization:
[0058] Using the collected and preprocessed data, the total loss function L is optimized through back propagation total In each forward propagation, the preprocessed multimodal data is input and passed through the hidden layer and output layer in turn. Using the Adam optimizer, the learning rate and hyperparameters are adjusted according to the validation set so that the loss function gradually converges. Cross-validation and tuning are performed on different physical constraint weights λ to ensure a balance between physical constraints and data fitting. Finally, a physical neural network model that integrates multi-dimensional physical parameters is obtained.
[0059] As a further improvement of the present invention, the feature data preprocessing in step 2 can be expressed as follows:
[0060] Step 2.1 Data collection and sensor placement

[0151] Follow step 1.2 to define the input layer, a hidden layer with a fully connected layer and ReLU activation, and an output layer with Softmax and linear output. Use the He initialization method to set the hidden layer weights to prevent vanishing gradients. Initialize the output layer weights to small random numbers and the bias to zero.
[0152] Step 1.4.3. Training optimization:
[0153] Using the collected and preprocessed data, the total loss function L is optimized through back propagation total In each forward propagation, preprocessed multimodal data is input and passed through the hidden layer and output layer in sequence. Using the Adam optimizer, the learning rate and hyperparameters are adjusted based on the validation set to achieve gradual convergence of the loss function. Cross-validation and optimization are performed for different physical constraint weights λ to ensure a balance between physical constraints and data fit. Ultimately, a physical neural network model is obtained that integrates multi-dimensional physical parameters.
