TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of aerospace technology, in particular to a structure dynamic distributed load identification method based on symplectic variational integration. BACKGROUND
[0002] In aerospace engineering, the distributed dynamic load borne by the aircraft structure during service is usually difficult to measure directly, while the dynamic response such as acceleration, speed or displacement of the structure under external excitation is easy to obtain. Therefore, how to inversely calculate the load time history based on the measurable response and combined with the mechanical equation is one of the key technologies to support the fine design, life evaluation and reliability verification of the structure. Existing load identification methods mainly include two types of frequency domain and time domain: the frequency domain method is intuitive in modeling, but it often needs to perform large-scale matrix inversion for wideband or non-stationary loads, and the calculation scale and ill-conditioned problem are significant; the time domain method can directly process transient processes, but it often involves discrete convolution in modal space, which is easy to cause error transmission and accumulation.
[0003] In addition, there are inevitable uncertainties such as material and connection parameter dispersion, environment and sensor noise in engineering practice. A large number of existing methods default the deterministic premise or rely on sufficient samples to establish the probability distribution. However, it is often not feasible to obtain sufficient data to accurately characterize the parameter distribution under the condition of limited flight test or ground test. Therefore, interval type uncertainty propagation has gradually attracted attention, with upper and lower bounds of parameters replacing complete distribution, which can still give a conservative outer bound of response under limited samples. However, the interval propagation based on traditional numerical simulation or Monte Carlo generally has problems such as large calculation overhead, low efficiency of extreme value search and insufficient explanation of boundary credibility, which is difficult to meet the engineering demand of high efficiency and high confidence in aerospace scenarios.
[0004] In view of the above bottlenecks: first, the symplectic variational integration which maintains the geometric structure of the system is introduced in the structural dynamics inversion, which can significantly improve the stability and energy consistency of the load time history reconstruction in long-time and strong coupling scenarios; second, under the condition of limited samples, only known parameter interval and noisy response, an uncertainty evaluation framework is needed which can efficiently search for extreme values and give confidence boundaries. Based on this, it is necessary to propose a method of using symplectic variational integration for robust load identification and combining Gaussian process Bayesian optimization to realize interval uncertainty propagation, so as to efficiently construct the upper and lower bounds of extreme values with explicit joint confidence under limited samples and noise interference, and provide a verifiable safety margin for the design and evaluation of aerospace structures. SUMMARY
[0005] To overcome the insufficient precision of load identification and lack of confidence evaluation under the conditions of small sample, interval type uncertainty and measurement noise, the present application proposes a structural dynamic distributed load identification method based on the symplectic variational integration. The method takes the structural dynamic response as the input, and uses the symplectic variational integration method to stably reconstruct the time-domain distributed load. In the case of only knowing the upper and lower bounds of the structural parameters, the Gaussian process Bayesian optimization is introduced to construct a proxy model of the parameter to the load extreme value, and the upper and lower confidence bounds are used to adaptively search for the extreme value in the parameter interval to obtain the confidence upper and lower bounds. The present application is suitable for the engineering scene with measurement noise, parameter uncertainty and limited data, and can realize accurate and robust distributed load identification and confidence evaluation of interval uncertainty envelope, thereby providing reliable basis for the design and safety margin verification of aerospace structures.

[0010] Fourth step: in the given uncertain parameter upper and lower bounds, first, the target confidence is selected, the Latin hypercube sampling method is used to generate a small number of uniformly dispersed initial sample points in the normalized parameter domain, for each initial sample, the deterministic load identification of the third step is called to solve the scalar response of the corresponding time sequence or key moment, and the input-output observation pair is formed;
[0011] Fifth step: based on the initial observation pair, a Gaussian process regression model is constructed, the kernel parameter and observation noise are adaptively learned by maximizing the log marginal likelihood; at the same time, the posterior mean field is obtained, which describes the central tendency of the response under different parameter values; the posterior standard deviation field is obtained, which quantifies the model uncertainty and noise influence;
[0012] Sixth step: based on the fitted Gaussian process, the coefficients in the acquisition function are calculated according to the given confidence Instantiation; construct the upper and lower boundary corresponding acquisition function: the upper boundary adopts the upper confidence limit function UCB, the lower boundary adopts the lower confidence limit function LCB, respectively maximize the UCB function and minimize the LCB function in the parameter domain, obtain a new sampling point;

In order to unify the scale, the real parameter interval is linearly mapped to the standard normalized space , wherein is the number of uncertain parameters.
[0027] Third step: in the modal space, the discrete Birkhoff variation integral method is used to model the dynamic relationship of adjacent time steps, the extremum of the discrete action is obtained, the algebraic update relationship corresponding to the time step is obtained, and the external load is taken as the to-be-identified quantity and solved.

Incorporate the new data into the sample set and update the Gaussian process model so that its posterior mean and standard deviation shrink as the data accumulates. Repeat the selection, calculation, and update until one of the termination conditions is met: (1) the maximum number of updates is reached.
