Figure 2 This is a hardware architecture diagram of a computing device provided in an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 3 This is a structural diagram of a composite material damage quantitative assessment device based on a cross-modal and hybrid sensing network, provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] The following is the concept of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a method for quantitative assessment of composite material damage based on cross-modal and hybrid sensing networks. The method includes: Step 100: Acquire computed tomography images, global strain data and local acoustic signals of the composite material in healthy state and under different damage states; wherein, fiber optic grating sensors are uniformly arranged on the surface of the composite material to be tested, and piezoelectric sensors are dispersedly arranged, and the number of fiber optic grating sensors is greater than the number of piezoelectric sensors. Step 102: Input the computed tomography image into the teacher model and train it to obtain the modal weights of the damaged area; Step 104: Train a student model based on a hybrid sensing network according to the modal weights of the damaged area, global strain data and local acoustic signals to obtain the target student model; Step 106: Input the global strain data and local acoustic signal of the composite material to be tested into the target student model and output the attention weights; Step 108: Based on attention weights, the global strain data and local acoustic wave signals of the composite material to be tested are fused to obtain fused data; Step 110: Perform a quantitative damage assessment on the fused data to obtain the damage results.

[0020] In this embodiment of the invention, a teacher model is first trained using computed tomography (CT) images of the composite material in a healthy state and under different damage states to obtain modal weights for the damaged region. Then, a student model based on a hybrid sensing network is trained based on these modal weights, global strain data, and local acoustic signals to obtain the target student model. Thus, by analyzing the global strain data and local acoustic signals of the composite material to be detected, attention weights can be output for each, and these weights are used to fuse the strain data and local acoustic signals to obtain fused data. Finally, quantitative damage assessment is performed on the fused data to obtain the damage result. Therefore, this invention not only achieves cross-modal data fusion, overcoming modal differences between damage information acquired by different sensing technologies, but also transfers attention information detected by CT images to the student model, improving the accuracy and precision of damage detection while reducing computational complexity, achieving real-time and accurate damage assessment.

[0021] The following description Figure 1 The execution method for each step is shown.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, for the wing composite material, fiber optic grating sensors are uniformly arranged according to a sine curve, and piezoelectric sensors are placed between adjacent peaks or troughs of the sine curve, as well as at the intersections of the upper and lower edge strips of the wing spars and the wing ribs. This allows for more accurate monitoring of data at various points on the wing composite material, enabling a comprehensive analysis of its damage state.

[0023] It should be noted that in step 100, the computed tomography images, global strain data, and local acoustic signals in any state are all acquired at the same time. Preferably, the distribution coordinates of the fiber grating sensor are all points on a sine curve. Fiber grating (FBG) sensors mainly rely on optical principles and can measure physical quantities such as temperature, strain, and vibration. Piezoelectric sensors (such as PZT sensors) mainly rely on the piezoelectric effect and can sense signals such as force, strain, vibration, and acoustic waves.

[0024] In this invention, a large number of uniformly distributed fiber optic grating sensors are used to achieve global strain detection of the composite material, while a small number of dispersed piezoelectric sensors are used to achieve local high-precision monitoring of the composite material. By acquiring different data from two sensors with different levels of precision, the health status of the composite material structure can be comprehensively analyzed, thereby improving the accuracy of quantitative damage assessment.

[0025] In step 102, the computed tomography (CT) image is input into the teacher model to train and obtain the modal weights of the damaged area, including: Three-dimensional reconstruction and segmentation of computed tomography images are performed to obtain a three-dimensional geometric model composed of several grids; For each grid cell, the following steps are performed: convolution operation is performed on the grid cell and its neighboring grid cells to obtain the local features of the grid cell; and the position encoding of the grid cell is concatenated with the local features to obtain enhanced features, so as to generate contextual features using a self-attention mechanism. The local energy is obtained by summing the squares of the local features of the neighboring grids of the given grid. A multi-head attention mechanism is adopted to determine the attention weights of other grids to this grid in order to obtain the global energy; The weight allocation is dynamically adjusted based on local and global energy, and the local and global weights of the grid are determined. The modal weights of the damaged region are determined based on the local and global weights of each grid cell included in the damaged region; wherein, the modal weights include local weights and global weights.

[0026] It should be noted that the input to the teacher model is a labeled computed tomography image, which includes information such as the location of the damage, crack length and depth, porosity, and delamination. The output is the modal weights of the damaged area.

[0027] Specifically, this also includes preprocessing each mesh to determine its damage attributes, which include: binary labels (0 / 1, where 0 indicates the mesh is undamaged and 1 indicates the mesh belongs to a damaged region), damage degree indices (such as porosity, crack length ratio, etc.), and material parameters. The damage attributes of each mesh are concatenated with its 3D coordinates to form a feature vector. This feature vector is then aggregated using a local convolution kernel (3×3×3) to generate higher-order local features. F local ∈R C (C represents the number of channels). The local features encode detailed information such as microcrack orientation and layered interface morphology. For example, channel 1 represents the damage gradient along the fiber direction; channel 2 represents the interlaminar shear strain estimate; and channel 3 represents the damage edge curvature. The mesh position encoding is a sine-cosine position code generated from the mesh's 3D coordinates. This position code is then concatenated with the local features to obtain the enhanced features. After multi-head self-attention computation, layer normalization, and residual connections are performed on the enhanced features to obtain the global context features.

[0028] Specifically, the neighborhood grid consists of the 26 other grids within a 3×3×3 region centered on the given grid. The local energy is determined using the following formula: in, For grid i Local energy, N (i ) represents a grid i The neighborhood, j For grid i neighborhood grid, ω j For convolution kernel weights, Neighborhood grid j Local features; The global energy is determined by the following formula: in, For grid i global energy, N This represents the total number of grid cells. α i,j For grid i For the grid j Attention weights For grid j Global features; Calculate the ratio of the global energy to the ratio of the global energy to the local energy for each grid cell. β And determine the global weights. W global = β ×Sigmoid( E global Local weights W global =(1- β )×Sigmoid( E local Thus, the energy is mapped to the [0,1] interval using the Sigmoid function to ensure weight normalization. When a composite material contains several independent damaged regions, for each damaged region, the following is performed: the average of the local weights of all meshes within the damaged region is used as the local weight of the damaged region, and the average of the global weights of all meshes within the damaged region is used as the global weight of the damaged region.

[0029] In a more preferred embodiment, if the composite material is an anisotropic composite material (e.g., carbon fiber), a modulating factor is introduced. γ=cos 2 θ Adjust the global weights. θ Let be the angle between the fiber direction and the principal global strain direction. At this point, the corrected global weight... W’ global = γ × W global .

[0030] In a more preferred embodiment, if the composite material is anisotropic, the global weight of the damaged region is corrected, and the corrected global weight is: ;in, For the damaged area before correction R k global weights η The anisotropy coefficient is given by the material (e.g., 0.3 for carbon fiber and 0.1 for glass fiber). θ The angle between the fiber direction and the principal direction of global strain; If the damaged area of ​​the composite material is a long and narrow damaged area, the aspect ratio is... L / W>5 When this happens, the local weights of the damaged area are corrected, and the corrected local weights are: ; For the damaged area before correction R k Local weights, μ Empirical coefficient (0 < μ <1).

[0031] In this embodiment of the invention, the determination of modal weights for damaged regions in computed tomography (CT) images is achieved through a process of region segmentation, grid weight aggregation, and normalization. This method retains the detail sensitivity at the grid level while providing engineering interpretability at the region level. In actual deployment, the weights can be dynamically updated in conjunction with real-time sensor data to form a closed-loop system.

[0032] For step 104, a student model based on a hybrid sensing network is trained according to the modal weights of the damaged area, global strain data, and local acoustic signals to obtain the target student model, including: Several samples, including global strain data and local acoustic signals, are input into the student model, and strain feature vectors and acoustic feature vectors are obtained through feature extraction. The strain feature vector and the acoustic feature vector are input into the attention layer to determine the first attention weight and the second attention weight. The student model is dynamically trained based on global weights, local weights, first attention weights, and second attention weights to obtain the target student model.

[0033] It should be noted that in step 104, the modal weights of the damaged area obtained from computed tomography images under the same damage state (i.e., acquired at the same time) are used to train the student model with global strain data and local acoustic signal data.

[0034] Specifically, a temporal convolutional network is used to extract the time-series features of the global strain data to obtain a strain feature vector; a short-time Fourier transform and a residual network are used to extract the frequency domain features of the local acoustic signal to obtain an acoustic feature vector. The first attention weight of the time-series features to the damaged area and the second attention weight of the frequency domain features to the damaged area are determined, and the student model is dynamically trained so that the difference between the first attention weight and the global weight, and the difference between the second attention weight and the local weight, are both less than preset thresholds. Training is then completed, and the target student model is obtained.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the student model is dynamically trained based on global weights, local weights, first attention weights, and second attention weights, including: The first loss value is obtained by calculating the global weights, local weights, first attention weights, and second attention weights; Calculate the first similarity between the strain feature vector and the acoustic feature vector of each sample containing the damaged region, and calculate the second similarity between the strain feature vector of each sample containing the damaged region and the acoustic feature vector of other samples containing the damaged region. Calculate the second loss value based on the first and second similarities; The first loss value and the second loss value are summed to obtain the total loss value. Training is completed when the loss value meets the preset training termination condition.

[0036] Specifically, the first loss value is determined by the following formula: in, L 1 is the first loss value; p A sample containing the damaged area is considered a positive sample. p ∈(1, P ), P The number of positive samples in a given set of samples; For the sample p global weights; For the sample p First attention weight; Local weights; For the sample p The second attention weight; The second loss value is determined by the following formula: in, L 2 is the second loss value; p, q All are positive samples; p , q ∈(1, P ), PThe number of positive samples in a given set of samples; sim () represents the cosine similarity; τ For temperature parameters; , Samples p The strain characteristic vector and the acoustic characteristic vector; For the sample q The acoustic wave feature vector.

[0037] In this invention, both the teacher model and the student model are designed for the same damage quantification task. However, the teacher model provides more comprehensive supervision signals through high-precision data, while guiding the student model through modal weights. This allows the student model to achieve efficient inference with lightweight inputs, thereby reducing computational complexity and meeting the real-time requirements of aerospace engineering applications. Simultaneously, the student model, through the aforementioned two loss functions, narrows the distance between positive samples, achieving cross-modal data alignment. This enables the student model to learn more detailed detection capabilities from the teacher model, thus improving its ability to identify damage regions.

[0038] It should be noted that in step 106, the global strain data and local acoustic signal of the composite material to be tested were acquired at the same time.

[0039] For step 108, the fused data is determined using the following formula: in, S F To integrate data; The first attention weight; S f This provides the global strain data for the composite material to be tested. This is the second attention weight; S p This represents the local acoustic signal of the composite material to be tested. It is a constant.

[0040] Since the damage information acquired by different sensing technologies has modal differences, it is difficult to directly fuse data from different modalities. This invention uses the attention weights determined by the student model based on a hybrid sensing network to achieve multimodal information fusion.

[0041] In step 110, a quantitative damage assessment is performed on the fused data to obtain damage results, including: The fused data is input into a pre-trained damage assessment model, which outputs key damage features. Based on key damage characteristics, damage parameters including damage size, damage depth, and residual strength are calculated. Damage parameters of the composite material to be tested at different times are obtained, and damage evolution is predicted by a pre-trained time series model to obtain the predicted damage result; wherein, the damage result includes the predicted damage result and the damage parameters at the current time.

[0042] In this embodiment of the invention, the fused data is analyzed by a pre-trained damage assessment model (such as Transformer), and key damage features are extracted to calculate damage parameters (including damage size D, damage depth d, and residual strength R). Then, for the damage parameters of the composite material to be tested at the current time and before the current time, the predicted damage results at future times are predicted by a pre-trained time series model.

[0043] This invention utilizes a hybrid sensing network combining fiber optics and piezoelectricity to quantitatively study damage in composite material structures by transferring the modal weights detected in computed tomography (CT) images to global strain data and local acoustic signals. This enhances the representational power of the cross-modal model, enabling a comprehensive analysis of the structural health status and improving the accuracy of damage quantification. Compared to single-modal detection methods, combining cross-modal methods improves the damage identification accuracy of the hybrid sensing network by at least 30%. Simultaneously, knowledge distillation reduces computational load, allowing low-cost sensors to achieve performance approaching that of high-end detection equipment, thus lowering aviation maintenance costs. Furthermore, the use of lightweight neural networks and optimized data fusion algorithms reduces online damage assessment time to the second level, improving real-time monitoring capabilities.

[0044] The composite material damage quantitative assessment method based on cross-modal and hybrid sensing networks proposed in this invention has the following advantages: it is suitable for multiple damage sites and has good quantification effect on multiple different damage sites; it can be used to combine the detection of internal damage and the characterization of external damage; it realizes multimodal data fusion and alignment, solves the time and space alignment problem of cross-modal data, and improves the accuracy of damage assessment; it realizes low-cost and high-precision quantitative damage assessment; it reduces computational complexity, does not require a large amount of computing resources, and can meet the real-time requirements of aerospace engineering applications.
