[0002] With the rapid expansion of my country's high-speed railway network, the mileage of railway lines in complex environments such as coastal areas, high humidity, and low temperatures continues to increase. As a core trackside protection facility that ensures train operation safety and reduces the impact of aerodynamic loads, wind barriers are exposed to the natural environment for extended periods. Especially under the combined effects of high salinity, high humidity, and strong wind loads, their metal structures are prone to corrosion damage. The formation and expansion of pitting corrosion will continuously weaken the structural strength, significantly shorten service life, and even cause safety hazards.
[0003] Current wind barrier maintenance technologies and strategies still have many shortcomings, making it difficult to meet the precise maintenance needs in complex environments. Existing maintenance mostly adopts a fixed pattern of periodic inspections, failing to consider the randomness and uncertainty of corrosion damage evolution, lacking dynamic modeling capabilities, and unable to accurately predict structural failure time; traditional fatigue performance assessment relies on the classic SN curve, which does not fully couple the influence of pitting corrosion geometry, resulting in insufficient prediction accuracy; at the same time, there is a lack of quantitative relationship models between environmental factors and corrosion rate, making it difficult to achieve differentiated maintenance, and no balancing mechanism between maintenance costs and failure risks has been established, which easily leads to over-maintenance or under-maintenance.
