Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention discloses a method for assessing the reliability of underwater vehicle control system competition failures, belonging to the field of underwater vehicle reliability assessment technology. Background Technology

[0002] As core equipment for deep-sea exploration, seabed resource development, and long-term ocean observation, the control system of an underwater vehicle is a key unit for power output and attitude adjustment, directly determining the vehicle's motion performance, energy efficiency, and mission reliability. During long-term service, the control system must operate continuously in extreme marine environments such as high pressure, high humidity, strong corrosion, and complex fluid disturbances. Affected by both environmental factors and loads, internal components are prone to degradation phenomena such as insulation aging, contact fatigue, material corrosion, and signal drift, leading to gradual performance deterioration.

[0003] As service time increases, the degradation process of control systems exhibits significant time-varying and stochastic characteristics. Its degradation state is not only related to current operating conditions but also influenced by the hysteresis of historical operating conditions and environmental stresses, demonstrating a pronounced memory effect. Simultaneously, random and sudden events in the external environment, such as fluid shocks, voltage transients, and load fluctuations, can cause instantaneous impact damage to the system, leading to a sudden increase in the degradation rate or directly inducing failure. The coupling effect between the degradation process and external shocks results in complex competitive characteristics in the overall system failure, making it difficult for traditional models to accurately describe its reliability variation patterns.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to establish a competitive failure reliability assessment method that can comprehensively characterize the degradation and evolution law, time delay correlation characteristics and external shock effects of the underwater vehicle control system.

[0186] When the sample data is in discrete form, the system degradation evolution model is transformed into a recursive discrete time-delay degradation model:

[0187] ;

[0188] In the formula, Let be a standard Gaussian random variable with a mean of 0 and a variance of 1, i.e. It is used to characterize the random perturbation uncertainty in the degradation process. The random disturbance intensity coefficient. Used to ensure the statistical consistency of discrete models under varying time scales;

[0189] The effects of shocks on degradation processes include the fact that in complex underwater environments, control systems are subject to sporadic external shocks such as sudden load changes, fluid disturbances, and voltage transients. These shocks can not only directly lead to transient failures but also alter the system's degradation evolution. Therefore, a shock process is introduced to describe the effect of sudden events on degradation. Assume that the arrival of external shocks follows a Poisson process with an impact arrival rate of [missing information]. , No. The time of the impact was Impact strength is The magnitude of the impact follows a distribution. .

[0190] The effects of impact on the degradation process mainly fall into two categories: direct failure and failure due to impact intensity. Exceeding the threshold When this happens, the system immediately fails, and its failure probability is expressed as:

[0191] ;

[0192] in, It is an exponential function. For sensitivity parameters, express ,when hour, This indicates that the impact was insufficient to cause direct failure; when hour, , representing the contribution of the impact to the probability of direct failure.

[0193] Degradation disturbances, including shocks, cause abrupt changes in the amount of degradation and have a lasting impact on the future degradation rate. The immediate jump effect of the shock is as follows:

[0194] ;

[0195] in, This is the mapping function from impact intensity to degradation increment. Simultaneously, to describe the impact's effect on the subsequent degradation rate, an impact correction kernel function is introduced. Its impact term is expressed as:

[0196] ;

[0197] In the formula, It is a cumulative amount representing the lingering, accelerating effect of historical shock events on the current rate of degradation.

[0198] The discretized form of the time-delay-related degradation model of the control system under external shocks is as follows:

[0199] ;

[0200] ;

[0201] ;

[0202] In the formula, and For the substitution variable.

[0203] The derivation of the reliability of underwater vehicle control systems involves considering time-delay correlations, noting that the impact effect not only manifests as instantaneous damage but also nonlinearly amplifies the subsequent degradation rate. To quantitatively describe the comprehensive impact of impact on degradation, the following indices are defined:

[0204] Instantaneous damage Characterizing the direct effect of the impact on the amount of degradation at the moment of occurrence:

[0205] ;

[0206] Accumulated impact , For a single impact in the future time window The cumulative promoting effect of internal degradation:

[0207] ;

[0208] In the formula, The duration of the impact effect is the window length.

[0209] Degradation Accelerator :

[0210] ;

[0211] in, For adjustment coefficients, This indicates that the impact accelerated the degradation.

[0212] By analyzing the degenerate increment sequence Anomaly detection identifies the time point of external shock occurrence, eliminates intervals containing abrupt changes, and obtains a sample set of smoothly degrading underwater control systems. The steps include:

[0213] The degenerate increment sequence is represented as:

[0214] ;

[0215] In the formula, For the amount of degradation in The increment of time, where Δ is the sampling time interval;

[0216] For degenerate increment sequences Anomaly detection is performed. When an external shock occurs, the degradation increment will show abnormal fluctuations that significantly deviate from its normal statistical range. The anomaly criterion is defined as follows:

[0217] ;

[0218] in, The anomaly sensitivity coefficient is a positive real number between 2 and 4. Degenerate increment sequence within the sampling time interval The mean, Degenerate increment sequence within the sampling time interval The standard deviation.

[0219] When the above criteria are met, the corresponding time will be... The moment determined as the time of external impact will be recorded. The sampling interval is considered as a sudden change interval affected by external shocks. After removing intervals containing sudden changes, a sample set of samples showing the steady degradation of the underwater control system is obtained. .

[0221] by As the dependent variable, with and Using the variables as independent variables, a regression sample is constructed.

[0256] The following explanation, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will provide further details. Figure 1 As shown, based on multi-source monitoring data of the underwater vehicle control system, a dynamic adaptive principal component analysis method is used to adaptively update the feature subspace of the sliding time window. A multi-scale functional index matrix is ​​constructed based on the time scale of the multi-scale window. Correlation assessment of the indices at each time scale is performed based on mutual information analysis, forming a system functional index vector. A comprehensive degradation characterization quantity is defined based on the system functional index vector. A time-delayed influence term for calculating the degradation rate is introduced, and a system degradation evolution model is established based on the time-delayed influence term. A time-delayed correlation degradation model under the influence of external shocks is constructed based on the effect of shocks on the degradation process, and a reliability model of the underwater vehicle control system is also constructed. Non-time-delay parameters and time-delayed correlation parameters are constructed based on the experience... After anomaly detection and separation, stationary degradation data and shock event data are used to calculate initial estimates of non-time-delay parameters using least squares, statistical distribution fitting, and expectation-maximization algorithms. Residual sequences are constructed based on the original degradation increments, and the autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation functions of the residual sequences are analyzed using time-delay structure identification methods. For the linearized model, weighted least squares is used for solution; for the nonlinearized model, extended Kalman filtering combined with expectation-maximization is used to achieve likelihood optimization in the state space, obtaining initial estimates of time-delay related parameters. An alternating iterative optimization mechanism is introduced for parameter estimation. Based on the underwater vehicle control system reliability model and the parameter estimation results, the reliability of the underwater vehicle control system is calculated.

[0257] Figure 2This diagram illustrates the degradation and evolution trajectory of the underwater navigator control system during long-term service, with the horizontal axis representing time. The vertical axis represents the system degradation. Horizontal dashed line The threshold represents the degradation failure threshold of the system. When the degradation amount first reaches this threshold, the system experiences degradation failure. The solid curve represents the degradation process of the system under the influence of time-delay correlation. The dashed line with arrows represents the time-delay correlation path in the degradation process of the system, which is used to describe the influence of the degradation state at the previous moment on the degradation evolution at subsequent moments.

[0258] Figure 3 The image shows the simulation degradation data of the control system generated using the Monte Carlo method, with and without considering the effects of time-delay correlation terms (set). , , , , , The degradation data considering time lag correlation introduces the lagged effects of historical degradation states into the current degradation increment. As can be seen from the figure, the degradation curve considering time lag correlation is basically consistent with the result without considering time lag correlation in the overall trend, but it shows more obvious correlation and cumulative dependence characteristics in the local evolution process. It can reflect the continuous impact of historical degradation state on subsequent degradation evolution, thus more realistically depicting the memory effect in the actual degradation process of the system.

[0259] Figure 4 As shown, based on simulated degradation data, the method proposed in this invention is applied to calculate the change in system reliability over time. The calculation results of the proposed method are highly close to the Monte Carlo simulation results throughout the entire time range, especially during the main operating phase of the system. This verifies that, considering the time delay correlation, the proposed method has high accuracy and can replace the computationally expensive Monte Carlo simulation with a higher confidence level for the reliability assessment of this system.
