The pipeline system needs to withstand high temperature and high pressure working conditions, so its design, material selection and maintenance are crucial to ensure safety and efficiency. In the pipeline system of power plants, the pipeline expansion joint is a key component. Due to thermal expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes, the pipeline expansion joint is used to absorb displacement changes in the pipeline system, effectively preventing pipeline damage and failure caused by thermal stress.

[0047] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0048] Embodiment 1

[0049] Please refer to the accompanying drawings Figure 1 The power plant pipeline expansion joint dynamic stress distribution optimization design method provided by the present application comprises the following steps:

[0050] The real-time data of the expansion joint is monitored through a sensor network;

[0051] Based on the real-time data, a finite element analysis model is constructed, and stress analysis results of the expansion joint under different working conditions are generated;

[0052] The stress analysis results are compared with the preset safety threshold, and whether the design parameters need to be adjusted is determined according to the comparison results;

[0053] According to the comparison results, a calculation feedback control algorithm is used to dynamically adjust the design parameters;

[0054] The real-time data and the dynamically adjusted data are used to predict potential failures by using self-learning intelligent diagnosis technology and combining historical data, and maintenance suggestions are generated.

[0055] Specifically, by monitoring the real-time data of the expansion joint, the temperature, pressure and strain of the expansion joint and other key parameters can be comprehensively understood, so that potential operation problems can be identified in a timely manner, and the safety and reliability of the expansion joint can be improved;

[0056] Based on real-time data, a finite element analysis model is constructed, and stress analysis results of the expansion joint under different working conditions are generated, enabling engineers to deeply analyze the stress distribution of the expansion joint under various operating conditions, helping to make reasonable design decisions, thereby enhancing the strength and durability of the structure;

[0057] The stress analysis results are compared with the preset safety threshold, and whether the design parameters need to be adjusted is determined according to the comparison results, ensuring the safety during the design process, keeping the equipment running within a safe range, reducing the risk of failure and accidents, and helping to protect the safety of the equipment and its surrounding environment;

[0058] According to the comparison results, a calculation feedback control algorithm is used to dynamically adjust the design parameters, which can timely respond to changes in operating conditions through real-time adjustment, thereby optimizing the design and improving the performance and service life of the equipment;

[0059] Real-time data and dynamically adjusted data are combined with self-learning intelligent diagnosis technology to predict potential failures using historical data and generate maintenance recommendations, which can effectively identify fault risks and take maintenance measures in advance to ensure long-term stable operation of the expansion joint while reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

[0060] Real-time data includes temperature, pressure and strain data of the expansion joint, and strain data includes radial strain, axial strain and tangential strain.

[0061] Specifically, real-time data includes temperature, pressure and strain data of the expansion joint, and strain data is subdivided into radial strain, axial strain and tangential strain. The monitoring of these data helps to comprehensively evaluate the working state of the expansion joint. Real-time monitoring of temperature and pressure can provide basic information for safe operation. At the same time, the detailed collection of radial strain, axial strain and tangential strain enables engineers to accurately analyze the stress state of the expansion joint under different loads. Real-time monitoring data is also crucial for subsequent fault diagnosis and maintenance recommendations, helping to ensure effective operation of the expansion joint and reduce the risk of failure.

[0062] The finite element analysis model is constructed by using CAD software to establish a three-dimensional model of the expansion joint and defining temperature boundaries and pressure boundaries. The stress analysis results include the numerical values of the radial stress, axial stress and tangential stress of the expansion joint under high temperature, high pressure and transient load changes, as well as the stress concentration areas and fatigue stress evaluation under varying working conditions.

[0063] Specifically, in constructing the finite element analysis model of the expansion joint, first, according to the design data and material performance parameters, the data usually includes the geometric dimensions of the expansion joint, such as length, diameter, wall thickness and the geometric shape of the connecting parts, these geometric data are input through engineering drawings or CAD model to ensure that the three-dimensional model truly reflects the actual structure, at the same time, the physical and mechanical properties of the materials used in the expansion joint need to be input, such as elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, yield strength and thermal expansion coefficient, etc., and the temperature boundary and pressure boundary conditions of the model need to be defined to accurately simulate the actual working environment, for example, the temperature boundary can be set according to the temperature of the working medium, and the pressure boundary should reflect the maximum working pressure of the expansion joint, after determining the geometry and material properties of the model, a three-dimensional model is established through CAD software and imported into the finite element analysis software for further analysis, during the stress analysis process, engineers can understand the performance of the expansion joint under high temperature, high pressure and instantaneous load change conditions according to the stress calculation, such as axial stress, radial stress and tangential stress, so that engineers can understand the stress distribution of the expansion joint under different working conditions, including the numerical values of radial stress, axial stress and tangential stress, the stress analysis results also reveal the stress concentration area and fatigue stress evaluation under varying working conditions, providing information for engineers to make targeted design optimization decisions, thereby improving the safety and durability of the overall structure and ensuring the stability and reliability of the expansion joint in actual operation.

[0064] The stress analysis results are compared with the preset safety threshold by comparing the stress analysis results of the expansion joint calculated under different working conditions with the preset safety threshold item by item, including checking whether the radial stress, axial stress and tangential stress exceed the corresponding safety limit, if any stress value is found to exceed the safety threshold, it is judged that the design parameters need to be adjusted.

[0065] Specifically, the stress analysis results of the expansion joint calculated under different working conditions are compared with the preset safety threshold item by item to ensure the safety of the expansion joint, the radial stress, axial stress and tangential stress obtained from the analysis results are compared with the defined safety limit one by one, for example, assuming that the preset safety limit is: the radial stress does not exceed 15 MPa, the axial stress does not exceed 20 MPa, and the tangential stress does not exceed 10 MPa, during the comparison process, if the calculation result shows that a certain stress, for example, the tangential stress reaches 12 MPa, will exceed the safety threshold, this potential risk can be identified in time, if any stress value is found to exceed the safety threshold, the engineer will judge that the design parameters need to be adjusted, so that not only can the damage caused by stress overlimit during operation of the equipment be prevented, but also the overall structural safety of the equipment can be effectively maintained to ensure that all stresses are within the safety range, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the equipment under various working conditions.

[0066] The specific steps of the calculation feedback control algorithm are as follows:

[0067] The difference between the current stress analysis result and the preset safety threshold is calculated by a computational feedback control algorithm to identify specific areas where the stress exceeds the range;

[0068] By combining actual working conditions and material properties, the design parameters are adjusted through algorithm optimization;

[0069] Material properties include the shape of the expansion joint and the material thickness.

[0070] Specifically, the difference between the current stress analysis result and the preset safety threshold is calculated. The stress difference is calculated using the following formula:

[0071] Δσ=σ current -σ threshold ;

[0072] Where Δσ represents the stress difference, σ current The stress value obtained from the current calculation, σ threshold The preset safety threshold is used to identify specific stress values ​​that exceed the safety range. For example, the currently calculated tangential stress is σ. current =18MPa, preset safety threshold is σ threshold =15MPa, then the stress difference is 18MPa - 15MPa = 3MPa. By analyzing the calculated stress difference, areas where the stress exceeds the range are identified. In this case, Δσ>0, and these areas are marked as areas requiring adjustment. This process ensures that potential structural safety hazards can be quickly located. Then, combined with the actual working conditions and the material properties of the expansion joint, such as shape and material thickness, the design parameters are optimized. The material properties must be obtained in the design stage, including the tensile strength and yield strength of the material. Based on the identified out-of-range areas, the design parameters are adjusted through optimization algorithms, modifying the material thickness t and geometry so that the stress no longer exceeds the preset safety threshold. The new design parameters are calculated using the following formula:

[0073] t new =t current +k·Δσ;

[0074] Among them, t ncw t represents the thickness of the new material. current Let t be the current material thickness, and k be an adjustment coefficient related to material properties. Assume the current material thickness is t. current =10mm, adjustment coefficient k=0.2, based on the stress difference calculated by the formula, Δσ>0, then the new material thickness is calculated as follows: t new =10mm + 0.2×3 = 10 + 0.6 = 10.6mm, ensuring that stress is reduced by increasing the material thickness and keeping the expansion joint operating within a safe range.

[0075] Adjusting the design parameters includes increasing or decreasing the wall thickness of the expansion joint and changing its geometry or support scheme.

[0076] Specifically, the step of adjusting the geometry or support scheme analyzes the geometry of the expansion joint according to the identified stress problem, determines whether there is a design defect, appropriately changes the geometry to improve the uniformity of stress distribution, such as adding rib beams or optimizing the connection structure, confirms whether the new design meets the stress analysis requirements, and verifies, for example, if the stress at a specific location is found to be too high in stress analysis, the stress can be dispersed by introducing rib beams as a support scheme to reduce the load at that location, and by increasing or decreasing the wall thickness and changing the geometry, the stress distribution should be effectively optimized to ensure that the expansion joint meets the safety and stability requirements in actual operation. This process is carried out during the design stage, which helps to improve the fatigue resistance and service life of the overall structure.

[0077] The specific steps of using self-learning intelligent diagnosis technology to combine real-time data with dynamically adjusted data and historical data to predict potential failures and generate maintenance recommendations are as follows:

[0078] Collect historical data to analyze potential failure modes and build a data set;

[0079] Use machine learning algorithms to train the data set to build a failure prediction model;

[0080] Predict potential failures through the failure prediction model and generate maintenance recommendations.

[0081] Specifically, first, collect historical operating data of the expansion joint under different working conditions, including temperature, pressure, strain and other parameters, to build a data set. During the process of building the data set, data preprocessing is required to ensure data quality and accuracy. Preprocessing includes missing value filling, noise removal and data standardization. Missing values are processed by linear interpolation method, using the following formula:

[0082]

[0083] Where X filed is the filled value, X prev and X next are the observation values before and after the missing value, n is the number of missing values, and k is the position of the missing value in the time series. For example, if the previous observation value is 80 and the next one is 100, and the missing value is in the middle, the filled value is 90. Noise removal uses the moving average method, using the following formula:

[0084]

[0085] Where X smolohed is the denoised data, N is the size of the moving window, and Xi is the current and previous data points, for example, if five observation values are [10, 12, 14, 13, 11], the mean after denoising is 12, and the standardization is calculated using the following formula:

[0086]

[0087] where μ is the mean of the data, σ is the standard deviation of the data, for example, there is an observation value 14, the data set is [10, 12, 14, 16, 18], the mean is 14, and the standard deviation is 2, so that the standardization result is 0, after completing the data preprocessing, the machine learning algorithm is used to train the data set to build a fault prediction model, and the posterior probability of the model is calculated by the following Bayes formula:

[0088]

[0089] where P(y|X) represents the posterior probability of fault y given the feature X, P(X|y) is the conditional probability of feature X under the condition of fault, P(y) is the prior probability of fault occurrence, and P(X) is the marginal probability of the feature, for example, if the prior probability of fault occurrence is 10%, the probability of feature occurrence under the condition of fault is 80%, and the marginal probability of the feature is 50%, then we can get:

[0090]

[0091] Thus, the fault risk is 16%, after building the fault prediction model, the engineer can develop a corresponding maintenance plan or adjustment strategy for potential fault conditions, when the fault risk exceeds the set threshold, the system will issue an alarm, according to the fault prediction result, the engineer can evaluate the factors that may affect the performance and safety of the equipment, so as to optimize the operating conditions or carry out preventive maintenance.

[0092] Historical data includes historical stress data, fault records and maintenance logs, and fault modes include excessive strain and material fatigue.

[0093] Specifically, the collection of historical data includes historical stress data, fault records and maintenance logs, which provide the basis for potential fault prediction, by analyzing historical stress data, the performance changes of materials under different working conditions can be identified, and the basis for confirming fault modes such as excessive strain and material fatigue can be provided, fault records record the past fault conditions, helping technicians understand the frequency and causes of faults, at the same time, maintenance logs provide specific information of past maintenance operations, which can guide the improvement of maintenance plans and processes.

[0094] Maintenance recommendations include regular inspection, replacement, lubrication and cleaning of vulnerable components.

[0095] Specifically, the maintenance recommendations include regular inspection, replacement, lubrication and cleaning of vulnerable parts, aiming to prolong the service life of the equipment and reduce the risk of failure, regular inspection can timely find the abnormality of the equipment operation state, provide the basis for early identification of potential failure, replacement of vulnerable parts can prevent system downtime or safety hazards caused by component failure, ensure normal operation of each component, lubrication can reduce friction between components and reduce wear and tear, thereby prolonging the service life of the components, at the same time, cleaning can remove accumulated dirt and impurities to prevent their impact on equipment performance, the implementation of the maintenance recommendations can be quantified by the following formula:

[0096] R=Cx(1-(MTTR / MTBF));

[0097] Wherein, R represents the reliability of the equipment, C is the initial cost of the equipment, MTTR represents the average repair time, and MTBF is the average failure-free operation time, by maintaining a high equipment reliability, the maintenance cost and downtime can be effectively reduced, for example, the initial cost of a certain equipment is 100,000 yuan, the average repair time is 5 hours, and the average failure-free operation time is 100 hours, then the reliability can be calculated as: Indicating that the equipment reliability can reach the level of 95000 yuan, thereby realizing the normal operation of the equipment, that is, the probability of failure can be reduced, and the stability of the equipment in the running process can be ensured.

Based on the comparison results, the system can determine whether to adjust the design parameters to ensure the safe operation of the expansion joint under high stress conditions.

[0109] The calculation feedback control algorithm module calculates the difference between the current stress analysis results and the preset safety threshold, and dynamically adjusts the design parameters using model algorithms based on specific actual operating conditions and material characteristics.
