Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of concrete structure health monitoring, and in particular to a method for real-time and accurate monitoring of displacement fields of multiple branched paths of concrete crack tips and related equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the entire life cycle of concrete structures such as bridges and dams, high-precision, real-time and robust monitoring of the dynamic development, expansion path and microscopic displacement of the tip of internal or surface cracks is the cornerstone of ensuring structural safety, warning failure risks and guiding maintenance decisions. However, the existing technology faces significant and widespread shortcomings in achieving this goal: 1) Existing crack monitoring methods either rely on costly and complex physical experiments or use general image datasets for deep learning training. However, physical experiments are difficult to stably reproduce extreme and critical complex fracture behaviors such as crack tip multi-branching and high strain concentration; while general image datasets cannot effectively represent the unique mesoscopic heterogeneity of concrete materials, resulting in the model failing to fully learn the visual features of real concrete cracks during training, which limits the accuracy and robustness of monitoring from the source. 2) Traditional image processing methods, such as digital image correlation (DIC), often require extremely high computational resources and time when pursuing sub-pixel level accuracy of crack tip micro-displacement, making it impossible to meet the real-time monitoring needs of structures under dynamic loading conditions. Although existing deep learning algorithms have advantages in speed, they are easily disturbed by background noise when facing complex textures on the concrete surface and low signal-to-noise ratio areas at the crack tip, leading to a decrease in prediction accuracy, especially making it difficult to accurately analyze micron-level displacement.

[0057] Before the embodiments of the present application are described in detail, first, some nouns and terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are described, and the nouns and terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are applicable to the following explanations.

[0058] Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) is a branch of linear elastic mechanics, mainly used for analyzing the fracture problems of brittle materials. The theory assumes that the material is in an elastic state throughout the loading process, and describes the stress and strain fields at the crack tip through stress intensity factors and other methods.

[0059] Crack tip singular field refers to the stress and strain fields near the crack tip in an object containing a crack, which have singular distribution characteristics. This singular characteristic is mainly due to the very sharp geometry of the crack tip, which causes the stress and strain to change sharply near the tip.

[0060] Artificial speckle image refers to a random pattern generated on the surface of a test specimen by spraying, printing or other methods. These patterns are used to track the deformation and displacement of objects in digital image correlation technology.

[0061] Computer Graphics (CG) is a science that uses mathematical algorithms to convert two-dimensional or three-dimensional graphics into raster form on a computer display. Its main research content includes the principles and algorithms of representation, calculation, processing and display of graphics.

[0062] Existing crack tip area displacement field monitoring methods lack high-fidelity data sets that can accurately characterize the complex crack development characteristics of concrete, limiting the training effect of deep learning models; under the premise of ensuring the measurement accuracy of small and high gradient displacement at the crack tip, the method has large calculation amount and cannot realize real-time monitoring under dynamic loading conditions; and the existing deep learning model design does not fully incorporate the fracture mechanics theory and the mesoscopic characteristics of concrete materials, making it difficult to effectively handle the discontinuity of the crack path and the noise interference of the background texture, affecting the robustness of the prediction.

[0063] Therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, a concrete crack tip multi-branch path displacement field real-time accurate monitoring method and related equipment are provided, a high-fidelity virtual data set driven by physical information is constructed, the virtual data set is used as a training basis, and a deep displacement calculation network is designed for concrete crack displacement field analysis, as shown in Figure 3 On the basis of the deep optical flow network framework, the mesoscopic feature extraction module, the motion feature enhancement module, the discontinuous displacement matching module and the sub-pixel level displacement field refinement module are integrated. Through efficient calculation, high-precision and high-robustness displacement field real-time acquisition at the crack tip area is realized, forming a closed-loop optimization process from high-fidelity data construction, special network design to real-time monitoring application.

[0064] Figure 1is an optional flowchart of a method for real-time accurate monitoring of concrete crack tip multi-branch path displacement field provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 The method in the method can include but is not limited to steps S100 to S600:

[0065] Step S100, according to linear elastic fracture mechanics, cohesive force model and computer graphics, a virtual data set is generated;

[0066] Step S200, input the virtual data set into the initial depth displacement calculation network, and perform concrete micro feature extraction and motion feature enhancement operation on the virtual data set to obtain an enhanced feature map;

[0067] Step S300, through the deformable convolution layer, the enhanced feature map is subjected to non-continuous displacement matching operation to obtain a coarse displacement field;

[0068] Step S400, the coarse displacement field is subjected to sub-pixel level refinement processing to obtain a fine displacement field;

[0069] Step S500, according to the real displacement field and the fine displacement field, the initial depth displacement calculation network is optimized to obtain a target depth displacement calculation network;

[0070] Step S600, input the material surface speckle image into the target depth displacement calculation network to obtain a crack tip deformation displacement field.

[0071] In step S100 of some embodiments, by deeply fusing physical theory and advanced numerical simulation technology, a data set with high fidelity, accurate physical semantics and rich key failure modes is generated. Illustratively, the physical displacement field is generated by combining linear elastic fracture mechanics and cohesive force model, the artificial speckle image matching the concrete microstructure is created by using computer graphics, the virtual data set containing high-precision displacement true value label and being able to represent complex crack branching and other complex crack scenarios is formed. The virtual data set construction of the embodiment of the present application avoids the traditional experience limitations of high acquisition cost, difficulty in quantification and inability to stably reproduce the complex crack behavior of concrete of the real experimental data, and lays a unique data foundation for the subsequent deep displacement calculation network to realize high-precision, high-robustness real-time monitoring of the concrete crack tip deformation displacement field.

[0072] In some embodiments, step S100 can include but is not limited to steps S110 to S130:

[0073] Step S110, by fusing linear elastic fracture mechanics and cohesive force model, a physical displacement field is constructed;

[0074] Step S120, by computer graphics, an artificial speckle image with concrete micro features is generated;

[0075] Step S130, according to the physical displacement field and the artificial speckle image, a virtual data set is generated.

[0076] In step S110 of some embodiments, by deeply coupling linear elastic fracture mechanics and cohesive zone model, the crack propagation process of concrete material is simulated, the crack tip region is obtained, and the displacement field (data matrix) conforming to the physical characteristics of the crack tip singularity field can be generated. A hierarchical meshing strategy is adopted to perform ultra-high density grid encryption on the crack tip region to obtain micron-level displacement data and high-gradient strain data containing the physical characteristics of the crack tip singularity field. The micron-level displacement data and high-gradient strain data are output as pixel-level accurate true value labels to obtain an accurate physical displacement field generated based on physical theory, ensuring the physical authenticity and accuracy of the data set.

[0077] In step S120 of some embodiments, a computer graphics technology is used to generate an artificial speckle image through parameterized control. The artificial speckle image simulates the mesoscopic heterogeneous characteristics of concrete, so that the generated artificial speckle image is highly consistent with real concrete in terms of macro and micro texture, thereby effectively avoiding the decline in generalization ability of the deep displacement solving network model due to data distribution differences in actual application. Optionally, the mesoscopic heterogeneous characteristics include random distribution of concrete aggregates, pore structure, and cementitious material matrix, etc.

[0078] In step S130 of some embodiments, according to the generated physical displacement field and the artificial speckle image, a virtual data set for training the deep displacement solving network model is formed. Illustratively, the generated physical displacement field and the artificial speckle image are obtained, and the artificial speckle image is geometrically deformed using the physical displacement field to simulate the real deformation effect of the object surface under physical load and generate a deformed image. The physical displacement field usually contains horizontal displacement and vertical displacement The artificial speckle image is used as a reference image In the process of applying the physical displacement field to generate the deformed image, for each target pixel point on the deformed image the following processing is performed: according to the displacement field, the original position of the target pixel point in the reference image is found Since the original position is usually not an integer coordinate, an interpolation algorithm is needed to calculate the gray value of the position from the known pixel points of the original image. A virtual data set is generated by grouping the physical displacement field, artificial speckle image and deformed image into a data triple. Optionally, the interpolation algorithm uses a bicubic interpolation method, which can calculate a smooth gray value from the surrounding 16 pixel points, effectively reducing the jagged phenomenon caused by interpolation and generating a high-quality, smooth deformed image.

[0079] In step S200 of some embodiments, based on the deep optical flow network framework, a module integrating microscopic feature extraction and motion feature enhancement is added, and an attention mechanism is further integrated, and the deep optical flow network framework is improved. Illustratively, based on the improved deep optical flow network framework, an initial deep displacement calculation network is formed. Through the initial deep displacement calculation network, the input virtual data set is subjected to multi-scale microscopic feature guidance and motion feature enhancement driven by the attention mechanism, to generate an enhanced feature map. Through the cooperation of multi-scale microscopic feature perception and adaptive attention mechanism, the features in the concrete scene can be fully extracted, and noise interference can be reduced.

[0080] In some embodiments, step S200 can include but is not limited to steps S210 to S220:

[0081] In step S210, the virtual data set is input into a multi-scale feature extractor to perform feature extraction operation on the virtual data set, to obtain a composite feature map;

[0082] In step S220, the composite feature map is input into a spatial-channel collaborative attention module to perform secondary weighting optimization on the composite feature map, to obtain an enhanced feature map.

[0083] In step S210 of some embodiments, the virtual data set is input into the multi-scale feature extractor of the initial deep displacement calculation network. A multi-scale convolution kernel combination is used in the multi-scale feature extractor to construct a feature pyramid. Key information is captured by the large-scale convolution kernel and the small-scale convolution kernel in the multi-scale convolution kernel combination. Through the design of the multi-scale convolution kernel combination, it is ensured that the deep displacement calculation network can understand both the macrostructure and the microscopic details of the concrete from the bottom layer, laying a solid data foundation for subsequent displacement analysis.

[0084] In some embodiments, step S210 can include but is not limited to steps S211 to S213:

[0085] In step S211, the low-frequency structural features of the virtual data set are extracted by the large-scale convolution kernel of the multi-scale feature extractor;

[0086] Step S212, high-frequency detail features of the virtual data set are extracted by a small-scale convolution kernel in the multi-scale feature extractor;

[0087] Step S213, a composite feature map is obtained according to the low-frequency structural features and the high-frequency detail features.

[0088] In step S211 of some embodiments, a large-scale convolution kernel in the multi-scale feature extractor is used to capture low-frequency information in a large range in the virtual data set, which can include but is not limited to low-frequency structural features such as aggregate spatial distribution, cement mortar matrix, and macroscopic pores.

[0089] In step S212 of some embodiments, a small-scale convolution kernel in the multi-scale feature extractor is used to focus on high-frequency detail features of the virtual data set, which can include but is not limited to high-frequency details such as micro-crack paths, fine aggregate edges, and pore profiles.

[0090] In step S213 of some embodiments, according to the low-frequency structural features and the high-frequency detail features extracted by the multi-scale feature extractor, a composite feature map can be output.

[0091] In step S220 of some embodiments, a space-channel collaborative attention module is integrated after the multi-scale feature extractor and before the encoder of the feature map entering the main body of the deep displacement calculation network, so that the deep displacement calculation network can actively focus on key areas with displacement and suppress the interference of static backgrounds. A series combination mechanism of channel attention and spatial attention is adopted to form a space-channel collaborative attention module composed of a channel attention submodule and a spatial attention submodule. The composite feature map is input into the space-channel collaborative attention module, and the composite feature map is weighted and optimized twice to obtain an enhanced feature map with the same size as the composite feature map but with significantly higher information.

[0092] In some embodiments, step S220 can include but is not limited to steps S221 to S222:

[0093] Step S221, the composite feature map is input into the channel attention submodule, the motion feature channels of the composite feature map are enhanced and the static feature channels of the composite feature map are suppressed by channel attention weights, to obtain a channel weighted feature map;

[0094] Step S222, the channel weighted feature map is input into the spatial attention submodule, the high gradient strain region weights of the channel weighted feature map are enhanced and the static region weights of the channel weighted feature map are suppressed by spatial attention weights, to generate an enhanced feature map;

[0095] In step S221 of some embodiments, the composite feature map is sent to a channel attention sub-module, which learns the importance weights of each feature channel of the composite feature map through global average pooling and a fully connected layer, and performs first weighted optimization on the composite feature map, thereby enhancing the motion feature channels related to semantics such as “motion” and “deformation”, while suppressing the static feature channels expressing “static texture”, to obtain a channel weighted feature map.

[0096] In step S222 of some embodiments, the channel weighted feature map generated after optimization by the channel attention sub-module is sent to a spatial attention sub-module. The sub-module generates a two-dimensional spatial attention map, i.e., an enhanced feature map, by performing maximum pooling and average pooling in the channel dimension and processing through a convolution layer. Illustratively, in the spatial attention sub-module, each pixel position on the channel weighted feature map is assigned a spatial attention weight, so that high gradient strain regions with significant displacement changes such as crack tips and expansion paths obtain high weights, while the weights of other static regions in the channel weighted feature map are effectively suppressed to generate the enhanced feature map. The enhanced feature map will be the input of all subsequent network levels, guiding the entire network to focus computing resources on key deformation regions.

[0097] In step S300 of some embodiments, a deformable convolution layer is also integrated in the initial depth displacement calculation network. By dynamically adjusting the sampling position of the convolution kernel, local non-continuous displacement caused by complex paths such as multiple branching cracks and tortuous extensions of concrete is adaptively captured, so that the initial depth displacement calculation network can accurately match the upper displacement field according to the actual morphology and deformation characteristics of the cracks in the enhanced feature map, generate a coarse displacement field, and achieve high robustness in tracking irregular crack paths.

[0098] In step S400 of some embodiments, a sub-pixel level residual correction unit is also built into the initial depth displacement calculation network for the purpose of micro displacement analysis. Through the sub-pixel level residual correction unit, the coarse displacement field is refined at the sub-pixel level, and a lightweight convolution unit is used to learn the micro-level residual displacement distribution pattern to correct local analysis errors in the coarse displacement field, ensuring that the full-field displacement reaches sub-pixel accuracy, generating a fine displacement field, and achieving accurate measurement of micro-level displacement.

[0099] In step S500 of some embodiments, a hybrid error integrating multi-scale optical flow supervision and fracture mechanics theory is used as a hybrid loss function, and the initial depth displacement calculation network model is trained and optimized end-to-end through the hybrid loss function, and related mechanisms are introduced to improve the model generalization ability, so that the model not only learns the pixel-level visual matching, but also understands the underlying fracture mechanics behavior.

[0100] In some embodiments, step S500 can include but is not limited to steps S510-S540:

[0101] Step S510, constructing a multi-scale optical flow supervision loss according to the real displacement field and the fine displacement field;

[0102] Step S520, constructing a fracture mechanics regularization loss according to the fine displacement field;

[0103] Step S530, constructing a hybrid loss function according to the multi-scale optical flow supervision loss and the fracture mechanics regularization loss;

[0104] Step S540, optimizing the initial depth displacement calculation network according to the hybrid loss function to obtain a target depth displacement calculation network.

[0105] In step S510 of some embodiments, the fine displacement field is taken as a predicted displacement field, and a multi-scale optical flow supervision loss is constructed according to the real displacement field and the predicted displacement field. The real displacement field is generated by numerical simulation, and optionally, a physical displacement field constructed by fusing linear elastic fracture mechanics and cohesive force model is taken as the real displacement field. The multi-scale optical flow supervision loss is a data-driven term, which ensures that the model can approximate the real displacement at each scale from macro to micro. Exemplarily, the expression of the multi-scale optical flow supervision loss is as follows:

[0106]

[0107] In the formula, represents the multi-scale optical flow supervision loss; represents the scale index, represents the weight coefficient of each scale, which is used to balance the importance of different scales; represents the predicted displacement field of the i-th scale; represents the real displacement field of the i-th scale; represents the Euclidean norm.

[0108] ​​​​In step S520 of some embodiments, a fine displacement field is taken as a predicted displacement field, and a fracture mechanics regularization loss is constructed according to the fine displacement field. The fracture mechanics regularization term converts the fracture mechanics theory into a soft constraint on the output of the deep displacement solver network, guiding the network to learn a physically reasonable displacement field. Illustratively, by fusing the linear elastic fracture mechanics and the cohesive zone model to construct a physical displacement field (i.e., a ground truth label), the position information of the physical displacement field is used to demarcate the crack tip region, and during the training process of the deep displacement solver network, the fracture mechanics regularization term calculates the spatial gradient of the network predicted displacement field, i.e., the deep displacement solver network calculates the fracture mechanics regularization loss in the specific crack tip region. According to the linear elastic fracture mechanics theory, there is stress singularity at the crack tip, which must be accompanied by extremely high displacement gradient. Therefore, the fracture mechanics regularization term will impose a significant penalty on the solution of the predicted displacement gradient in the crack tip region. The expression of the fracture mechanics regularization loss is:

[0138] 1、The embodiment of the present application is based on a high-fidelity virtual data set construction method driven by physical theory, which changes the passive situation of traditional deep learning in concrete crack monitoring, which is limited by the difficulty of obtaining real test data and low data fidelity.

[0139] 2、The embodiment of the present application breaks through the limitation of the existing general optical flow model in the aspect of deep displacement calculation network architecture, which is insufficient in processing the discontinuous and high gradient deformation field of crack tip.

Combined with the deformable convolution, the discontinuous displacement of multi-branch cracks is adaptively captured, and the sub-pixel level residual correction unit is designed to realize micron-level displacement accurate analysis, which balances the real-time and sub-pixel accuracy of displacement calculation.

[0140] 3、The embodiment of the present application forms an end-to-end closed loop from virtual data set generation to real-time monitoring, which provides reliable technical support for the structural health monitoring of major infrastructure such as bridges and dams, and provides a solid technical support for prolonging the service life of concrete structures.
