Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aircraft structural strength testing technology, and in particular relates to a non-contact measurement system and method for full-field deformation of aircraft fuselage in crash tests. Background Technology

[0002] The crashworthiness of an aircraft's structure is a crucial indicator of its safety. Whole-aircraft crash testing is the most direct method for assessing aircraft crashworthiness and also a global technical challenge in the field of civil aircraft crashworthiness. In whole-aircraft crash tests, accurately measuring the full-field dynamic deformation response of the fuselage structure is essential for evaluating crashworthiness. This deformation data helps analyze the dynamic behavior of different fuselage components and how they absorb and dissipate impact energy during impact, providing core data for calibrating numerical simulation models and improving structural design.

[0003] Currently, structural deformation measurement in aircraft fuselage crash tests primarily relies on traditional contact sensors, including strain gauges and accelerometers. These contact-based measurement systems are cumbersome to set up, have limited measurement points, and struggle to obtain full-field deformation information of the fuselage. Furthermore, during impact, when the structure undergoes large deformation or failure, these contact sensors may detach, resulting in unreliable displacement or acceleration results. Non-contact video measurement technology, due to its advantages such as simple equipment, ease of application, non-contact operation, large range, high precision, dynamic measurement, and full-field three-dimensional measurement, is widely used for measuring the morphology and deformation of large structures such as aircraft, rockets, ships, and civilian infrastructure. However, existing video measurement technology faces the following challenges for high-precision measurement of full-field deformation in large aircraft crash tests: First, there is the problem of large-scale full-field dynamic measurement, as the measurement range of a large aircraft fuselage can reach tens of meters, and a single high-speed stereo vision measurement system cannot meet the requirements; second, there is the problem of large-scale speckle field fabrication, as high-quality speckle fields need to be fabricated over a large area of ​​the structure to achieve high-precision deformation measurement of the fuselage surface; and third, there is the calibration of a large field-of-view video measurement network, including high-precision calibration of the stereo vision measurement system and global calibration of multiple systems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a non-contact measurement system and method for full-field deformation of aircraft fuselage in crash tests, thereby resolving the issues present in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a non-contact measurement method for the full-field deformation of an aircraft fuselage in a crash test, comprising:

[0006] Create speckled patterns on the surface of the aircraft fuselage and place cooperation logos in key locations on the fuselage;

[0007] The internal and relative external parameters of a stereo measurement system composed of multiple pairs of high-speed cameras are calibrated using a flexible self-calibration method with binocular cameras.

[0008] A global calibration method for a multi-camera video measurement network assisted by UAV photogrammetry is used to obtain the absolute extrinsic parameters from the local measurement coordinate system to the world coordinate system of each stereo measurement system based on the intrinsic parameters and relative extrinsic parameters of the stereo measurement system.

[0009] The three-dimensional measurement systems described above are used to simultaneously capture time-series dynamic images of the aircraft whole test component during the crash process;

[0010] Based on the aforementioned time-series dynamic images, the motion trajectory and velocity of key measuring points on the fuselage during the crash are obtained through marker positioning and tracking methods and stereo vision principles.

[0011] Based on the aforementioned time-series dynamic images, the three-dimensional displacement field and three-dimensional strain field of the fuselage throughout the crash process are obtained through the digital image correlation method guided by control points and the principle of stereo vision.

[0039] Based on the digital image correlation method guided by control points, temporal deformation analysis and stereo matching are performed on the speckle images captured by the left and right cameras of each stereo measurement system to achieve sub-pixel fine matching of speckle.

[0040] For successfully matched speckle image points, their three-dimensional coordinates in the object space are reconstructed using the intrinsic and relative extrinsic parameters of the calibrated stereo measurement system based on the principle of stereo vision triangulation.

[0041] The three-dimensional displacement field is obtained by calculating the difference in three-dimensional coordinates of the corresponding speckle before and after deformation.

[0042] The three-dimensional displacement field is subjected to noise reduction and smoothing to obtain a fine displacement field on the fuselage surface.

[0043] The three-dimensional strain field is obtained by spatially differentiating the fine displacement field on the fuselage surface.

[0044] Optionally, the process of achieving a visual representation of the full-field deformation includes:

[0045] Based on the absolute external parameters, the measurement data obtained by each of the three-dimensional measurement systems are uniformly converted to the world coordinate system;

[0046] The SIFT method based on a multi-scale spatial model is used to detect and locate image feature points within the common field of view of adjacent stereo measurement systems;

[0047] Based on the principle that feature points with the same name have the same world coordinates, feature matching between adjacent stereo measurement system images is completed.

[0048] A baseline image is selected, and the images with completed feature matching are stitched and fused to generate a panoramic image of the aircraft fuselage.

[0049] The motion trajectory, velocity, three-dimensional displacement field, and three-dimensional strain field data are mapped onto the panoramic image of the fuselage to generate a comprehensive visualization result that includes the motion trajectory, velocity vector, full-field displacement cloud map, and full-field strain cloud map.

The three-dimensional displacement field is obtained by calculating the difference in three-dimensional coordinates of the corresponding speckle before and after deformation. The three-dimensional displacement field is subjected to noise reduction and smoothing to obtain a fine displacement field on the fuselage surface. The three-dimensional strain field is obtained by spatially differentiating the fine displacement field on the fuselage surface.

5. A non-contact measurement system for the full-field deformation of an aircraft fuselage in a crash test, characterized in that, A method for performing a non-contact measurement of full-field deformation of an aircraft fuselage in a crash test as described in any one of claims 1 to 4, comprising: A stereo measurement network consisting of multiple sets of binocular high-speed cameras, a synchronization controller, cooperative markings and speckle patterns arranged on the surface of the aircraft fuselage, a rotary-wing UAV for assisting global calibration, and an image workstation for image processing and data analysis. The synchronization controller is used to control all high-speed cameras in the stereo measurement network to acquire data synchronously. The stereoscopic measurement network is used to capture time-series dynamic images of the aircraft whole-body test component during the crash process; The rotary-wing UAV is used to reconstruct the coordinates of control points in the world coordinate system using photogrammetry. The image workstation is used to process the time-series dynamic images and perform the analysis, calculation, and characterization in the measurement method.
