Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of building component crack identification and monitoring, and particularly relates to a method and system for monitoring fatigue risk of a steel crane beam in service. BACKGROUND

[0002] In an industrial building steel structure system, a steel crane beam, as a key load transfer component, is subjected to dynamic cyclic loading for a long time. Its service performance directly affects the structural safety and production continuity of the industrial plant. However, engineering practice shows that, due to the coupling of complex factors (including but not limited to: eccentric effect caused by asymmetric track arrangement, brake force of the overhead crane, geometric form difference of the crane beam, etc.), the crane beam system is prone to fatigue cracks in the stress concentration area. Such cracks have significant nonlinear propagation characteristics. When the crack propagation rate exceeds the critical threshold, it may lead to catastrophic fracture accidents, seriously threatening industrial safety production. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the fatigue cracks. However, the current fatigue monitoring method has the following technical problems:

[0003] 1. Difficulty in predicting crack initiation position: The traditional specification formula is based on ideal boundary conditions, which is difficult to accurately represent the complex stress field formed by the coupling of multiple factors under actual working conditions. Research shows that, for crane beams with the same structure, the maximum principal stress region shifts significantly under different factor coupling, resulting in significant dispersion of the crack initiation position. The traditional stress checking method has a mismatch between the theoretical model and the actual working conditions.

[0004] 2. Limitations of manual inspection efficiency: Factors such as dust pollution in industrial environments, high-altitude operation restrictions, and equipment obstructions make manual inspection difficult and costly. Manual inspection has strong dependence on subjective experience and low crack quantification accuracy, making it difficult to meet the accuracy requirements for crack propagation rate monitoring.

[0005] 3. Bottlenecks of intelligent monitoring technology: Existing visual monitoring equipment has three technical obstacles: (1) dependence on external power supply leads to low deployment feasibility, as stable power cannot be provided in 90% of industrial sites; (2) battery endurance bottleneck, with an average continuous working time of less than 6 months for commercially available devices, which cannot meet the 5-year monitoring period required by ASTM E647; (3) false positive rate of image recognition algorithms under complex field noise is difficult to avoid, and is significantly affected by vibration noise, oil contamination, and other interferences, making it difficult to meet the use requirements in real service environment.

[0006] 4. Lack of safety evaluation system: The existing specification lacks a quantitative correlation model between crack propagation rate and structure residual life, and the false alarm rate of manual experience judgment is more than 40%, which cannot establish a grading warning mechanism based on fracture mechanics.

[0062] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below. Figures 1 to 10 The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below.

[0063] Embodiment 1

[0064] The embodiments of the present application provide a method for monitoring fatigue risk of a steel crane beam in service, comprising the following steps:

[0065] S1, obtaining steel crane beam data to be monitored, and classifying the obtained crane beam data by using a pre-trained fatigue crack positioning depth neural network to obtain a high-risk area classification result of the steel crane beam;

[0066] In the present embodiment, the obtained steel crane beam data to be monitored includes steel crane beam body data, crane data borne by the steel crane beam, and track eccentricity data of the steel crane beam. Based on the original design drawing of the steel crane beam, the steel crane beam body data and the crane data borne by the steel crane beam can be easily obtained. The track eccentricity data of the steel crane beam needs to be obtained through on-site detection, and the detection method is as follows:

[0067] The distance h from the upper flange edge to the web edge of the steel crane beam is measured on site by using a tape measure f 1, the distance h from the upper flange edge to the crane track edge f 2, consult the original design drawing to obtain the steel crane beam web width t w 1, the track width t w 2, then the track eccentricity value O e is:

[0068]

[0069] If the track eccentricity value O e is greater than the steel crane beam web width t w 1, it is judged that there is condition A: track eccentricity.

[0070] In this embodiment, the pre-trained fatigue crack positioning deep neural network is constructed by the following method:

[0071] S11, a steel crane beam fatigue cracking database is established;

[0072] Based on years of experience in crane beam detection projects, a large amount of steel crane beam fatigue cracking data is obtained, and the steel crane beam fatigue cracking data is taken as the output label. The specific division of each cracking part of the steel crane beam is as follows: upper flange area, support insertion end area, support sealing plate area, and lower flange midspan area. The body data and crane load data of the crane beam with fatigue cracking are obtained by consulting the corresponding design drawings. The input features are the body data of the steel crane beam and the crane data carried by the steel crane beam. The steel crane beam fatigue cracking database is established.

[0073] S12, a first deep neural network is constructed, which specifically adopts an existing neural network architecture. The embodiment does not involve improvement of the architecture. The first deep neural network is trained through the data in the steel crane beam fatigue cracking database to obtain a fatigue crack positioning deep neural network model. Then the fatigue crack positioning deep neural network model is corrected to obtain a pre-trained fatigue crack positioning deep neural network. The first deep neural network in the present application comprises an input layer, a plurality of hidden layers, a plurality of Sigmoid activation layers and an output layer connected in sequence. The hidden layers and the Sigmoid activation layers correspond one by one.

[0074] The present application utilizes prior knowledge in the field (effect of track eccentricity on plug-in plate type steel crane beam support area) to correct the fatigue crack positioning deep neural network model. The stress concentration position of the plug-in plate type steel crane beam support area is greatly affected by the track eccentricity. Under the action of the crane load, when there is no track eccentricity, the stress concentration position of the support is the sealing plate. When there is eccentricity, the stress concentration position of the support appears in the sealing plate and the plug-in plate. The eccentricity can cause the stress of the stress concentration position of the plug-in plate to increase by more than 30%. Therefore, the prior knowledge in the field is used to correct the prediction probability of the model to form a pre-trained fatigue crack positioning deep neural network.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, the method for correcting the model is as follows:

[0076] S121, the prior knowledge in the field is obtained, and the specific acquisition method is as follows:

[0077] The shape information of the plug-in plate type steel crane beam is obtained to obtain a steel crane beam model, as shown in Figure 1 Then a finite element model is established based on the steel crane beam model, and the model is divided into a no-track eccentricity model and a track eccentricity model, as shown in Figure 2As shown, the specific two models of comparative working conditions are set as shown in Table 1, then the finite element analysis is carried out on the two models, the stress results are obtained as shown in Table 2, and the changes of the stress concentration parts of the plug-in plate type steel crane beam support area under the two working conditions are compared, and the results are as shown in Figures 3 to 6 As shown.

[0078] Table 1 Specific setting of two models of comparative working conditions

[0079] Condition No eccentricity of track Eccentricity 1.5 times web thickness Condition 1 √ Condition 2 √

[0080] Table 2 Changes of stress concentration parts of plug-in plate type steel crane beam support area under two working conditions

[0081] Condition Stress at closure MPa Stress at insertion MPa Condition 1 144.3 86.7 Condition 2 158.9 135.6

[0082] As shown in Table 2, the existence of track eccentricity significantly increases the stress level at the sealing plate and the plug-in plate, and the stress at the sealing plate increases from 144.3 MPa to 158.9 MPa in working condition 2 (with track eccentricity) compared with working condition 1 (without track eccentricity), with an increase of about 10.1%; the stress at the plug-in plate increases from 86.7 MPa to 135.6 MPa, with an increase of 56.4%. And through Figures 3 to 6 It can be seen that under the action of the crown block load, when there is no track eccentricity, the stress concentration part of the support is the sealing plate, and when there is eccentricity, the stress concentration part of the support appears at the sealing plate and the plug-in plate. Through the above results, it is shown that the track eccentricity has a significant influence on the stress distribution of the steel crane beam support area, especially the stress sensitivity of the plug-in plate part is higher, and the stress increase is much larger than that of the sealing plate. The eccentricity can cause the stress at the stress concentration part of the plug-in plate to increase by more than 30%.

[0083] S122, according to the prior knowledge in the field, the model is modified to obtain a pre-trained fatigue crack positioning depth neural network.

[0084] The embodiment of the application calibrates the data probability of the model by modifying the model according to the prior knowledge in the field, so that the probability of positioning to the support area is increased when the condition A "track eccentricity" exists.

[0085] Specifically, by training a calibration function, inputting condition A and the original prediction probability p, and then outputting the modified probability:

[0086]

[0087] Wherein, delta is an increment set according to prior knowledge.

[0088] S2, according to the high-risk area classification result, deploying a crack image acquisition terminal in the high-risk area to obtain a crack image, as shown in Figure 10 As shown in

[0089] In this embodiment, the crack image acquisition terminal comprises:

[0090] a main processor, configured to be responsible for scheduling and execution of terminal core business logic, configure image sensor parameters, execute crack image shooting task, and perform preliminary processing on original images, and communicate with a micro control unit; specifically, the main processor in this embodiment is configured to:

[0091] (1) system control, running a simplified Linux system, responsible for scheduling and execution of terminal core business logic, including image acquisition, data processing, and communication coordination.

[0092] (2) image processing, configured to configure image sensor parameters, execute crack image shooting task, and perform preliminary processing on original images.

[0093] (3) collaborative management, communicating with the micro control unit, receiving instructions, and starting or closing high-power modules as needed.

[0094] a communication module, configured to upload the collected high-definition crack images and device state information to a remote server;

[0095] an image sensor, configured to shoot high-definition crack images under the cooperation of a fill light;

[0096] a fill light, configured to provide a controllable light source for light compensation in dark or night environment;

[0097] a FLASH memory, configured to temporarily store high-definition crack images shot by the image sensor;

[0098] a micro control unit, configured to control the power on / off of each module (such as activating / closing the main processor and the communication module in sequence), and perform power-on self-test (ADC detects power supply stability) and task termination protocol (deep sleep to 10 muA).

[0099] Further, the crack image acquisition terminal in the present application has the following innovative design functions:

[0100] 1. Low-power control unit MCU design method

[0101] (1) independent power management architecture

[0102] An STM32F030 micro control unit (MCU) physically isolated from the main processor (RV1106) and the communication module (4G) is adopted to realize hardware-level power control, and the MCU controls the working time of all hardware components to ensure that different functional modules are powered on at the correct and required time.

[0103] The MCU has:

[0104] a) Ultra-low sleep current: typical value ≤ 5 μA (including real-time clock (RTC) running power consumption);

[0105] b) Multi-wake-up source management: integrated RTC timing wake-up and GPIO external interrupt wake-up dual-channel mechanism;

[0106] (2) Dynamic power management strategy

[0107] Power-on self-test process:

[0108] a) The MCU is first started, and the power supply state is detected by the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in cooperation with the power management unit (PMU). The ADC and PMU collect external power and battery voltage data and transmit them to the MCU;

[0109] b) After the voltage stability verification is passed, the PMU is activated in sequence → RV1106 → 4G module power supply;

[0110] Task termination protocol:

[0111] a) After the service period ends, the reverse power-off sequence (4G → RV1106 → PMU) is executed;

[0112] b) Enter deep sleep mode autonomously (standby current ≤ 10 μA), start RTC timing before sleep, and the MCU is started again after reaching the set wake-up time.

[0113] (3) Abnormal interrupt handling mechanism

[0114] Establish a communication state monitoring channel, when the following abnormal conditions are detected:

[0115] a) Network interruption duration ≥ 120 seconds;

[0116] b) Data flow overrun alarm;

[0117] c) Server connection failure number > 3 times;

[0118] Execute emergency handling program, as follows:

[0119] a) Forcefully terminate the current process and turn off the high-power module power supply (RV1106 and 4G module);

[0120] b) Automatically start the intermittent sleep mode (work / sleep cycle = 15 minutes), wake up every 15 minutes and detect whether the abnormal condition is resolved. If the abnormal condition disappears, proceed normally according to the established work flow.

[0121] 2. Software optimization method of main processor (RV1106)

[0122] In a conventional design, the main processor (RV1106), communication module (4G), image sensor, light supplement lamp and FLASH memory of the crack image acquisition terminal consume a large amount of electric energy, and 95% of the electric energy is consumed by these devices in a single shooting task.

[0123] Moreover, a set of simplified Linux systems runs in the main processor (RV1106), and it takes 30 seconds from starting the system kernel to loading the business program, which includes communication with the MCU, image sensor configuration, light supplement lamp starting, shooting business execution and image uploading through 4G. The 4G module takes about 20 seconds from starting to configuring the AT instruction and then completing network registration, and the time for completing network registration by the 4G module needs to be longer in an area with weak wireless signal due to the influence of the 4G base station signal.

[0124] Based on the above problems, the crack image acquisition terminal in the application optimizes the software inside it, and the software optimization method specifically includes startup process optimization and communication protocol optimization.

[0125] a) The image sensor parameter configuration and 4G network registration are executed synchronously;

[0126] b) The light supplement lamp preheating is completed in the data transmission stage;

[0127] c) The AT instruction pre-caching technology is adopted, so that the network registration time of the 4G module is shortened by 40% (from the original 20 seconds to 12 seconds).

[0128] S3, an estimated value of the crack length at the current moment is obtained based on the obtained crack image, the estimated value data of the crack length are summarized, and a crack length trend graph is obtained.

[0129] The estimated value of the crack length at the current moment in the embodiment is specifically obtained by the steel structure fatigue crack identification method disclosed in the application patent with the publication number CN117523470A.

[0130] S4, the crack length on the crack length trend graph is rectified, the average crack development rate of each stage is obtained by using the rectified crack length trend graph, and the risk classification of the average crack development rate of each stage is performed by using a preset crack rate-risk classification depth neural network, so that the risk level of the fatigue crack risk position of the steel crane beam is obtained.

[0131] In the embodiment of the application, the calculation formula of the average crack development rate of each stage is:

[0132]

[0133] L d (t1) is the final display length of the crack in a certain stage of the crack length trend graph, Ld (t0) is the initial display length of a certain stage in the crack length trend graph, Δ s t is the total time interval of this stage.

[0134] In the embodiment of the present application, the preset crack rate-risk classification deep neural network is constructed by the following method:

[0135] S41, a fatigue crack rate-risk database is established;

[0136] Using relevant project experience, the development of cracks in the upper flange area of the steel crane beam, the development of cracks in the support sealing plate area, and the development of cracks in the support insertion end area are tracked respectively. The lower flange area is a pure tension area, and once cracking occurs, the crane beam will be quickly damaged, so the crack risk level of the lower flange area is directly divided into high risk, and the development rate is not calculated. From the discovery of the crack, the crack length data changes with time are tracked, and the crack risk level is calculated as low risk. The crack length acquisition technology disclosed in the invention patent with publication number CN117523470A is used to record the crack length every day, calculate the crack development rate at each stage, and combine the crack location, crack length, and crack development rate to artificially divide the risk level corresponding to each rate, and then obtain the fatigue crack rate-risk database.

[0137] The characteristics of the established fatigue crack rate-risk database are the fatigue crack locations, lengths, and development rates of the steel crane beam, and the labels are the artificially labeled risk levels;

[0138] S42, a second deep neural network is constructed, which specifically uses an existing neural network architecture, and the present embodiment does not involve improvement of the architecture; the data in the fatigue crack rate-risk database is used to train the second deep neural network, and a preset crack rate-risk classification deep neural network is obtained. The second deep neural network in the present embodiment includes an input layer, a plurality of hidden layers, a plurality of corresponding Sigmoid activation layers, and an output layer connected in sequence.

[0139] In the present embodiment, the crack length on the crack length trend graph is corrected based on statistics, and the crack length data that does not conform to the statistical law is determined as an outlier to avoid producing unreasonable early warning information. The specific correction method is as follows:

[0140] (1) Basic definition

[0141] L c (t) - the identified length at time t;

[0142] Ave c (t-1) - the latest average value at time t, the length data L cNot involved in the calculation of the latest average value of this stage;

[0143] L d (t) - the display length of the crack length trend at time t;

[0144] L d (t1) - the final display length of the crack length trend in this stage;

[0145] L d (t0) - the initial display length of the crack length trend in this stage;

[0146] Δ(L) - length difference;

[0147] Δ s t - the total time interval of this stage;

[0148] S(t) ∈ {1, 2, 3,...} - the current stage;

[0149] T k - the kth turning point time;

[0150] I(t) - the set of times that meet the following conditions:

[0151] Condition 1: belongs to the current stage S(τ) = S(t);

[0152] Condition 2: the time is not later than the current point τ < t;

[0153] Condition 3: the data is accepted as a non-outlier;

[0154] v t - the crack growth rate per stage;

[0155] (2) Calculation of the average value per stage: Where:

[0156] I (t-1) = {τ | S(τ) = S(t), τ < t, L c (τ) is accepted as a non-outlier}, when the secondary data is not involved in the calculation of the latest average value, because the current point may be an outlier;
