Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of material science and engineering, in particular to a method for rapid identification of pore structure and generation of three-dimensional model of porous material. BACKGROUND

[0002] Porous materials have a wide range of applications in thermal insulation, energy absorption, filtration, etc. due to their unique pore structure. Accurate characterization of the pore structure and establishment of a three-dimensional model are key to studying material properties and optimizing design. Traditional methods usually analyze two-dimensional micrographs based on threshold segmentation to extract pore features, but existing phase decoupling techniques have insufficient recognition accuracy for complex pore boundaries, which can lead to deviations in porosity and size distribution parameters. In addition, existing statistical model matching methods rely on a single feature parameter, making it difficult to accurately reflect the multi-dimensional statistical characteristics of pore distribution and affecting the geometric fidelity of the three-dimensional reconstruction model.

[0003] In terms of three-dimensional reconstruction, conventional methods (such as continuous slice reconstruction) require a large amount of high-precision tomographic data, which is costly and inefficient. Methods based on random generation algorithms can quickly construct models, but often lack strict constraints on the statistical characteristics of actual materials, leading to significant differences between simulation results and real performance. Therefore, how to achieve efficient and accurate pore structure identification and three-dimensional model generation is still a technical problem to be solved in the field.

[0004] In view of the above problems, it is urgent to develop a method that can quickly identify pore structure characteristics and generate high-fidelity three-dimensional models, providing reliable technical support for performance prediction and structure design of porous materials. SUMMARY

[0022] Where: is the composite matching score;

[0023] Step (24): Select The candidate statistical model with the smallest value is taken as the optimal matching model of the characteristic scale distribution function f.

[0030] Further, the number N of the geometric topology primitives in step (3) satisfies:

[0031] .

[0032] Further, the spatial position of the geometric topology primitive in step (3) satisfies the following boundary constraint condition:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0050] The application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0051] The application proposes a method for rapid identification of pore structure of porous materials and generation of three-dimensional model. The specific technical scheme adopted by the application is as follows:

[0052] Step (1): the two-dimensional microscopic image of the porous medium is subjected to phase decoupling and feature extraction, and a topological parameter set containing a porosity parameter p, a feature scale distribution and an evolution law thereof is obtained;

[0053] A high-resolution microscopic camera is used to shoot the surface morphology of the porous foam. Figure 2 An annular LED light source is used to compensate for imaging shadows, so as to ensure uniformity of the image gray scale. Subsequently, a dynamic two-phase optimization algorithm is applied to phase decoupling, so as to obtain an optimal phase decoupling threshold t * :

[0054]

[0055] In the formula, t * is the optimal phase decoupling threshold, , is a dynamic weight operator of the two-phase region, , is a norm of an expected vector of a feature space, represents a functional extreme value solving process, and the processed picture is shown in Figure 3 .

[0056] Based on the optimal phase decoupling image, a topological parameter set including a porosity parameter p, a feature scale distribution function f and a cumulative distribution function F is extracted. A matching relationship between the feature scale distribution function f and a candidate statistical model is established through parameter space mapping, and the candidate statistical model includes at least one continuous probability distribution function. In this example, three continuous probability distribution functions meeting the conditions are selected, as shown in Table 1.

[0057] Table 1 Topological parameter set information

[0058] Step (2): based on the topological parameter set, a matching relationship between the feature scale distribution function f and a candidate statistical model is established through parameter space mapping, and an optimal matching model is determined.

[0059] Step (2) specific implementation process:

[0060] A feature evaluation node set Q={q1, q2, q3} is defined, wherein the key statistical quantiles are set to 0.25, 0.5 and 0.75;

[0061] When the porosity parameter p is 49.18%, the characteristic evaluation node set has three elements, q 0.25 = 0.173 mm, q 0.50 = 0.193 mm, q 0.75 = 0.231 mm, F obs (q 0.25 ) = 0.530, F obs (q 0.50 ) = 0.640, F obs (q 0.75 ) = 0.730,

[0062] The GEV distribution theoretical cumulative probability is calculated :

[0063]

[0064] When the porosity parameter p is 49.18%, the characteristic evaluation node set has three elements:

[0065] , , ,

[0066] Similarly, the Weibull distribution theoretical cumulative probability is calculated

[0067]

[0068] , , ,

[0069] and the Logarithmic normal distribution theoretical cumulative probability is calculated :

[0070]

[0071] , , ,

[0072] The difference matrix between the actual observed distribution F obs (q i ) and the theoretical distribution P th (q i ) is calculated, and a composite matching degree function is constructed:

[0073]

[0074] In the formula: is the composite matching degree score value, F obs is the observed cumulative probability, Pth is the theoretical cumulative probability. It is calculated as GEV = 0.09, Weibull = 0.434, Logarithmic normal = 0.508, GEV Weibull Logarithmic normal

[0075] Similarly, when the porosity parameter p is 61.04% and when the porosity parameter p is 72.81%, similar results are also obtained.

[0076] From the above scoring results, it can be seen that GEV is the optimal matching model of the cumulative curve of the distribution pore diameter as the characteristic scale distribution function f.

[0077] Step (3): Based on the optimal matching model of step (2), a characteristic space is established by the dimensional constraint condition L / D≥5 and the distribution constraint equation, and a geometric topological element that meets the statistical convergence condition is generated in the space;

[0078] The characteristic space needs to meet the dimensional constraint condition:

[0079] L / D≥5

[0080] In the formula: L is the intrinsic scale of the characteristic space, and D is the median of the characteristic scale.

[0081] The spatial distribution of the geometric topological element meets the constraint equation:

[0082]

[0083] In the formula: x i , y i , z i are the coordinates of the center of the geometric topological element; Φ(D) is the optimal matching model of the characteristic scale distribution function f; D i is the equivalent characteristic scale of the geometric topological element, which satisfies D min ≤D i ≤D max ; δ() is the Dirac Delta function.

[0084] The number of geometric topological elements N meets:

[0085]

[0086] In the formula: L is the intrinsic scale of the characteristic space; D is the median of the characteristic scale, and p is the porosity parameter. ​​​

[0087] According to the parameters in Table 1, the number of geometric topological primitives deployed is 117, 145, and 173.

[0088] The spatial position of geometric topological primitives must satisfy boundary constraints:

[0089]

[0090] Where L is the intrinsic scale of the feature space, x i , y i , z i are the center coordinates of the geometric topological primitive.

[0091] Any two geometric topological primitives must satisfy the space non-containment criterion:

[0092]

[0093] Where: (x a ,y a ,z a ) and (x b ,y b ,z b ) are the spatial coordinates R of any two geometric topological primitives a 、R b is the characteristic radius of the corresponding geometric topological primitive.

[0094] In step (4), the spatial domain topological mapping algorithm generates the final continuous phase space domain by the following formula:

[0095]

[0096] Where: Ω final is the final continuous phase space domain, Ω0 is the initial continuous phase space domain, B k The kth geometric topological primitive occupies space, and \ represents the difference operation in the spatial domain.

[0097] The completed three-dimensional model of the porous material is shown in the figure ( Figure 5 (a)-(c))

[0098] Step (5): Perform numerical simulation based on the constructed three-dimensional geometric model of the porous material.

[0099] The three-dimensional geometric model generated in step (4) ( Figure 5 ) is imported into finite element analysis software (such as ABAQUS) to assign linear elastic material properties to the matrix phase in the final continuous phase space domain. Adaptive tetrahedral meshing is used to ensure that the mesh density at the pore interface meets the calculation accuracy requirements.

[0100] Fixed constraints (restricting x, y, z direction displacement) were applied on the bottom surface of the model; axial displacement load was applied on the top (simulating quasi-static compression condition); lateral surface kept free boundary condition, allowing lateral deformation.

[0101] After running the simulation, the following key results were extracted:

[0102] The maximum principal stress distribution of different porosity parameter models shows that the low porosity parameter model (49.18%, (a)) has a significant stress concentration phenomenon, the high porosity parameter model (72.81%, (c)) has a relatively dispersed stress distribution, indicating that the pore structure plays a leading role in the spatial distribution characteristics of the load transfer path. Figure 6 Figure 6 The maximum principal stress distribution of different porosity parameter models shows that the low porosity parameter model (49.18%, (a)) has a significant stress concentration phenomenon, the high porosity parameter model (72.81%, (c)) has a relatively dispersed stress distribution, indicating that the pore structure plays a leading role in the spatial distribution characteristics of the load transfer path.

[0103] The maximum principal stress distribution of different porosity parameter models shows that the low porosity parameter model (49.18%, (a)) has a significant stress concentration phenomenon, the high porosity parameter model (72.81%, (c)) has a relatively dispersed stress distribution, indicating that the pore structure plays a leading role in the spatial distribution characteristics of the load transfer path. Figure 7 Figure 7 The maximum principal stress distribution of different porosity parameter models shows that the low porosity parameter model (49.18%, (a)) has a significant stress concentration phenomenon, the high porosity parameter model (72.81%, (c)) has a relatively dispersed stress distribution, indicating that the pore structure plays a leading role in the spatial distribution characteristics of the load transfer path.

[0104] For the model with porosity parameter p = 49.18%, Figure 8 (a)-(d) show the complete process from initial uniform loading to local instability: at the initial stage, the stress is uniformly distributed ( (a)), as the deformation increases, the stress gradually concentrates in the pore-intensive area ( (b)-(c)), and finally, fracture occurs at the pore intersection ( (d)), which is consistent with the actual material compression failure pattern. Figure 8 (a)-(d) show the complete process from initial uniform loading to local instability: at the initial stage, the stress is uniformly distributed ( (a)), as the deformation increases, the stress gradually concentrates in the pore-intensive area ( (b)-(c)), and finally, fracture occurs at the pore intersection ( (d)), which is consistent with the actual material compression failure pattern. Figure 8 (a)-(d) show the complete process from initial uniform loading to local instability: at the initial stage, the stress is uniformly distributed ( (a)), as the deformation increases, the stress gradually concentrates in the pore-intensive area ( (b)-(c)), and finally, fracture occurs at the pore intersection ( (d)), which is consistent with the actual material compression failure pattern.
