Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of bridge structure optimization design, and particularly relates to a swivel bridge spherical hinge structure optimization design method based on a Bayesian algorithm, which is suitable for global optimization of the geometric parameters and material parameters of a swivel bridge spherical hinge under complex stress conditions. BACKGROUND
[0002] The swivel bridge spherical hinge is a core load-bearing and rotating component in swivel construction, and its stress characteristics are influenced by multiple factors such as geometric parameters (such as spherical radius and supporting radius), material characteristics (elastic modulus and friction coefficient) and external load (swivel weight), and present highly nonlinear characteristics. The traditional design method relies on empirical formula or limited number of orthogonal tests, and it is difficult to efficiently balance the multi-objective conflict (such as minimizing stress and friction torque), and it is easy to fall into local optimization.
[0003] In the prior art, the method of combining finite element simulation with a meta-model (such as Kriging, SVR, etc.) can reduce the calculation cost, but still requires a large number of initial samples, and lacks dynamic optimization capability. The Bayesian optimization algorithm can realize global optimization in a small number of simulation times by fusing a probabilistic proxy model and an active learning strategy, and is particularly suitable for high-dimensional, multi-objective and high-cost engineering optimization problems.
[0004] Using the Bayesian algorithm to analyze the structural rationality of the swivel bridge spherical hinge is an efficient and innovative technical path, which realizes global optimization design of the spherical hinge under the coupling action of multiple parameters by constructing a Gaussian process proxy model and a dynamic acquisition function in combination with finite element simulation data. The method uses the active learning strategy of Bayesian optimization to accurately explore the design space in a small number of simulation times, and reveals the complex nonlinear relationship between the geometric parameters (such as spherical radius and supporting radius) and the mechanical objectives (maximum contact stress and friction torque). The deep integration of Bayesian algorithm and finite element technology provides theoretical support for the multi-objective trade-off and robust design of the spherical hinge structure, is a frontier exploration in the field of intelligent design of bridge engineering, and has significant engineering application value. SUMMARY
[0005] In order to overcome the problems of low efficiency and lack of globality in the traditional swivel bridge spherical hinge design method in the related art, the application provides a swivel bridge spherical hinge structure optimization design method based on a Bayesian algorithm.
[0006] The technical scheme adopted by the application to solve the above problems is as follows: a swivel bridge spherical hinge structure optimization design method based on a Bayesian algorithm, comprising the following steps:
[0007] S1: establishing a three-dimensional nonlinear contact model of the swivel bridge spherical hinge, and performing grid encryption processing on the spherical hinge contact surface;
[0008] S2: Construct an index system to characterize the force characteristics of the spherical hinge contact surface of the rotating body, mainly including input indicators (factors affecting the force characteristics) and output indicators (indicators representing the force characteristics);
[0009] S3: Initial sample generation and finite element simulation. Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) is used to generate multiple sets of initial parameter combinations, and the finite element model established in step S1 is used for simulation calculation to obtain target values. The data is normalized to obtain a data set;
[0010] S4: Construct a Bayesian optimization framework, use Gaussian process (GP) modeling, combine expected improvement (EI) and confidence boundary (UCB), based on the Pareto frontier, use NSGA-II algorithm to screen the non-dominated solution set, and use the improved hyper volume (EHVI) to select the optimal solution set;
[0011] S5: Iterative optimization and convergence determination. In each iteration, the top-5 candidate points are selected for simulation, and the GP model is updated;
[0012] S6: Robustness and parameter sensitivity analysis. Simulate the manufacturing tolerance by Monte Carlo sampling to evaluate the stability of the design solution, and perform global sensitivity analysis on the force characteristics of the spherical hinge contact surface of the rotating bridge based on the Sobol index method.
[0013] Further, in step S1, a numerical model of the rotating structure is established using finite element software, and the upper and lower spherical hinges and their contact surfaces are finely processed to improve the accuracy of the model calculation.
[0014] Further, in step S2, the input indicators (factors affecting the force characteristics) representing the force characteristics of the spherical hinge contact surface of the rotating body include indicators representing the geometric characteristics of the spherical hinge, indicators representing the material characteristics of the spherical hinge, and the weight of the rotating body (X7) representing the external load characteristics. The indicators representing the geometric characteristics of the spherical hinge include the spherical hinge curvature radius (X1), the spherical hinge support radius (X2), and the spherical hinge thickness (X3). The indicators representing the material characteristics of the spherical hinge include the spherical hinge elastic modulus (X4), the spherical hinge Poisson's ratio (X5), and the spherical hinge friction coefficient (X6).
[0015] Further, in step 2, the output indicators (indicators representing the force characteristics) representing the force characteristics of the spherical hinge contact surface of the rotating body include three indicators: maximum contact stress (σ max ), horizontal friction torque (M H ), and vertical friction torque (M V );
[0016] In step 2, to construct an index system to characterize the force characteristics of the spherical hinge contact surface of the rotating body, first determine the upper and lower limits of each input indicator, i.e., determine X i ∈[X imin ,Ximax ](i=1,2,…,7),where X imin and X imax represent the minimum and maximum values of the index X i , respectively.
[0017] Further, in step 3, the working conditions for numerical simulation are designed, three indexes X1, X2, X3 are used to represent the geometric characteristics of the spherical hinge, and four indexes X4, X5, X6, X7 are used to represent the factors affecting the stress characteristics. The LHS method is used to generate multiple sets of initial samples, ensuring that each parameter is uniformly distributed within its range and the sample points are not overlapped.
[0018] Further, in step 3, the results under each working condition are obtained by analyzing and calculating, and the contact stress distribution function σ(r) is obtained. The maximum contact stress σ max , the horizontal frictional torque M H , and the vertical frictional torque M V are calculated as follows:
[0019]
[0020]
[0021] where a is the maximum support radius of the contact surface, r is the bearing radius of the spherical hinge, R is the curvature radius of the spherical hinge, μ is the friction coefficient of the contact surface, and θ is the angle between the line passing through any point on the spherical surface and the center line of the spherical hinge.
[0022] In step 3, the data results of each working condition are summarized to further eliminate the scale difference of each variable data in the index system, increase the generalization ability of the meta-model, and speed up the convergence speed of the model. The data is normalized, including the normalization of X1-X7 input indexes and the standardization of three output indexes (maximum contact stress σ max , horizontal frictional torque M H , and vertical frictional torque M V ), which is the data set for constructing the meta-model.
[0023] Further, in step 4, the Gaussian (GP) model is trained using the mixed kernel function and the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). The general form of the mixed kernel function is: k(x,x′)=RBF+Matern52
[0024] The general form of the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) is: f(x)~GP(m(x),k(x,x′))
[0025] where m(x) is the mean function and k(x,x′) is the covariance function.
[0026] The hybrid acquisition function combining expected improvement (EI) and upper confidence bound (UCB) is adopted to dynamically adjust the exploration and exploitation weights, and the expected hypervolume improvement (EHVI) is used to calculate the contribution of candidate points to the Pareto front hypervolume.
[0027] The general form of the hybrid acquisition function is: α(x)=λ·EI(x)+(1-λ)·UCB(x)
[0028] where λ exponentially decays with the iteration number (e.g., λ=e -0.1t , and the exploration is emphasized in the early stage (λ≈1) and the exploitation is emphasized in the later stage (λ≈0).
[0029] Further, in step 4, the NSGA-II algorithm is used to screen the non-dominated solution set, the reference point in the objective space is defined by using the hypervolume calculation, the hypervolume occupied by the solution set is calculated to quantify the optimization progress, and a variance penalty term is introduced into the objective function to suppress the design sensitive to noise.
[0030] The general form of the penalty term is: F robust (x)=F(x)+γ·Var(F∣x)
[0031] where γ is the penalty coefficient.
[0032] Further, in step 5, the Top-5 parameter combinations with the highest acquisition function values are selected in each iteration, and finite element simulation is submitted; the new data is added to the training set, the GP model is retrained, and the hyperparameters are updated.
[0033] In step 5, for each candidate point, an input file is dynamically generated, and the parameters are adjusted. Multiple simulation tasks are submitted simultaneously using the HPC cluster to shorten the single iteration time.
[0034] In step 5, the maximum contact stress σ max , the horizontal frictional torque M H and the vertical frictional torque M V are extracted from the simulation output file, and the input data is normalized and the output data is standardized.
[0035] In step 5, based on the new data set, the kernel function parameters are updated by maximum likelihood estimation (MLE); the determination coefficient R 2 of the model on the validation set is calculated to ensure that R 2 >0.9, otherwise the kernel function combination or sampling strategy is adjusted.
[0036] In step 5, the relative change of the weighted sum of the objective function of the current round and the previous three rounds is calculated:
[0037] The general form of the relative change is:
[0038] If ΔF < 1% for 3 consecutive rounds, the convergence is determined; if the maximum iteration number is reached, the current optimal solution set is output.
[0039] Further, in step 6, random perturbation is applied to the optimized key parameters to simulate the actual manufacturing tolerance. n groups of perturbed samples are generated for each optimal solution in the optimal solution set to generate parameter combinations;
[0040] The general form of simulating the actual manufacturing tolerance is: X i ′ = X i · (1 + δ)
[0041] Where δ is a uniformly distributed random perturbation;
[0042] In step 6, batch simulation is performed on the perturbed samples to extract the maximum contact stress σ max , horizontal frictional torque M H and vertical frictional torque M V ; the perturbed parameters and target values are stored in the database;
[0043] In step 6, the standard deviation of the target value of each optimal solution under perturbation is calculated, and the optimal solution set is filtered
[0044] The general form of the target value standard deviation is:
[0045] Where N is the number of perturbed samples, is the target mean value;
[0046] In step 6, Sobol model is used for global sensitivity analysis of the contact surface stress characteristics; the evaluation indexes of Sobol model include main effect sensitivity index S i and total effect sensitivity index ST i :
[0047]
[0048] Where Y is the output variable; X ~i is a vector composed of all other input parameters except the i-th parameter; E X~i (Y|X i ) is the conditional expectation value of Y under the change of other parameters X i when the parameter X ~i is fixed; is the conditional expectation value of Y caused only by the change of X ~i when other parameters X i are fixed; Var(Y), is the variance of each order.
[0049] With the technical scheme, the force characteristics of the ball hinge structure of the rotating bridge are globally optimized and robustly designed by combining the Bayesian optimization algorithm and the finite element simulation technology. The nonlinear mapping relationship between the geometric parameters and the mechanical targets is accurately fitted in a small number of simulation times by the efficient sampling strategy of the Bayesian algorithm and the Gaussian process proxy model, and the calculation cost is significantly reduced. The stability of the design solution is evaluated by simulating the manufacturing tolerance by Monte Carlo sampling, and the global sensitivity of the contact surface force characteristics is analyzed by using the Sobol model method. The force characteristics of the contact surface of the rotating ball hinge under the joint action of multiple factors are explored by sensitivity analysis, and the influence degree of different parameters on the force characteristics of the ball hinge structure is analyzed, and then the key influencing factors of the force characteristics of the ball hinge are determined, which has important reference significance for the design of the rotating ball hinge structure and the stability analysis of the rotating structure. Through global sensitivity analysis and Monte Carlo perturbation verification, the sensitivity of key parameters such as spherical radius and friction coefficient on contact stress and friction torque can be determined, thereby guiding the manufacturing tolerance control and process optimization. The method provides data-driven decision support for high-precision design of the rotating ball hinge of the rotating bridge, and has important engineering significance for improving the safety and reliability of the rotating bridge construction.

[0070] For S2, the index system is constructed. First, the upper and lower limit ranges of each input index are determined, that is, it is determined that:
[0071] X i ∈[X imin ,X imax ](i=1,2,…,7)
[0072] Wherein, X imin and X imax represent the minimum and maximum values of the index X i .

[0080]
[0081] Further, the contact stress distribution value along the spherical hinge support radius direction from the spherical hinge center to the contact edge is extracted, and then the stress distribution function σ(r) is obtained by fitting, as shown in Figure 3 for the stress distribution fitting under certain working conditions.

[0092] Further, the general form of the mixed kernel function is: k(x,x') = RBF + Matern52
[0093] Further, the general form of the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) is: f(x) ~ GP(m(x), k(x,x'))
[0094] wherein m(x) is the mean function and k(x,x') is the covariance function.
[0095] For S4, a hybrid acquisition function combining expected improvement (EI) and upper confidence bound (UCB) is adopted to dynamically adjust the exploration-exploitation weight. The expected hypervolume improvement (EHVI) is used to calculate the contribution of candidate points to the Pareto front. The process is as follows Figure 6 .

[0097] where λ decays exponentially with the iteration number (e.g., λ = e -0.1t , and focuses on exploration in the early stage (λ ≈ 1) and exploitation in the later stage (λ ≈ 0).
[0098] For S4, the non-dominated solution set is filtered by the NSGA-II algorithm, and the reference point in the objective space is defined by the hypervolume calculation. The hypervolume occupied by the solution set is calculated to quantify the optimization progress.

[0108] For S6, random perturbations are applied to the optimized key parameters to simulate actual manufacturing tolerances.
[0109] Furthermore, the general form of simulating actual manufacturing tolerances is: X i ′=X i ·(1+δ)
[0110] Wherein, δ is a uniformly distributed random perturbation (±0.5%), and 100 sets of perturbation samples are generated for each optimal solution, resulting in a total of 50×100=5000 sets of parameter combinations.

[0112] For S6, calculate the standard deviation of the target value under the perturbation for each optimal solution, and then filter.
[0113] Furthermore, the general form of the target value standard deviation is:
[0114] Where N = 100 is the number of perturbation samples. The target mean.
[0115] For S6, the Sobol model was used to perform a global sensitivity analysis of the force characteristics of the contact surface. The evaluation metrics for the Sobol model include the main effect sensitivity index S. i And the overall effect sensitivity index ST i .
[0116] Furthermore, the main effect sensitivity index S i The general form is:

[0132] Further, it is considered that in the structure of the swivel spherical hinge, the curvature radius X1 and the friction coefficient X6 have the most significant influence on the target (ST i >0.6), and the manufacturing tolerance needs to be optimized and controlled in priority.
[0133] Further, the swivel weight X7 has a high contribution to the vertical frictional resistance moment S3 (ST i =0.35), which needs to be focused on in the design of construction load.
[0134] Further, the interaction contribution of X1 and X6 (0.15-0.16) is significant, indicating that the coupling effect of spherical geometry and friction characteristics cannot be ignored. The interaction of X7 and other parameters (such as ST i -Si = 0.13), indicating that the uncertainty of geometric parameters will be amplified by the weight change of the rotating body.
[0135] In the above embodiment, the present application explores the mechanical response characteristics of the spherical hinge of the rotating bridge under the coupling effect of multiple parameters through the Bayesian optimization algorithm and global sensitivity analysis, and reveals the sensitivity law of key parameters such as curvature radius and friction coefficient on the contact stress and friction torque. Combined with the Monte Carlo perturbation verification and the Pareto frontier trade-off, the parameter tolerance control requirements of the high robustness design solution are determined, which provides a data-driven theoretical basis for the optimization of the spherical hinge geometry, material selection and manufacturing process improvement. The method breaks through the limitations of traditional empirical design, significantly improves the safety and economy of the rotating bridge construction, and has important popularization value for the intelligent design and performance prediction of complex bridge structures.
