[0003] Therefore, a method is needed to determine the standard values ​​of characteristic parameters for aircraft structural health monitoring, in order to establish evaluation standards for characteristic parameters at different levels of the aircraft and to define the standard values ​​of characteristic parameters for global and local structures. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a method for determining standard values ​​of aircraft structural state characteristic parameters to solve or mitigate at least one problem in the prior art.

[0006] Based on their ability to reflect the current status of key aircraft health indicators, aircraft structural state characteristic parameters are classified into global structural characteristic parameters and local structural characteristic parameters according to their hierarchy.

[0007] Based on whether it can reflect the overall operational status of the aircraft structure or the failure mode of a local structure, the specific characteristic parameters contained in the global structural characteristic parameters and the local structural characteristic parameters are determined.

[0008] Based on the design state of the global structural feature parameters and the local structural feature parameters, the specific feature parameters contained in the global structural feature parameters and the local structural feature parameters are classified.

[0009] Based on the variation of each specific feature parameter after classification, determine the standard extreme value of each specific feature parameter;

[0011] Preferably, the global structural feature parameters are parameters that describe the overall operational status of the aircraft corresponding to key indicators of the overall structural health of the aircraft;

[0012] Local structural characteristic parameters are parameters that describe the failure modes corresponding to key health indicators of aircraft components or critical structures.

[0013] Preferably, the information parameter cluster that can reflect the overall operational status of the aircraft structure is as follows: For structural state information parameters Make a judgment if the structural state information parameters Then the structural state information parameter is the global structural feature parameter;

[0014] Information clusters that can reflect the failure modes of local structures of an aircraft are For structural state information parameters Make a judgment if the structural state information parameters If the structural state information parameter is then a local structural feature parameter, then the structural state information parameter is a local structural feature parameter.

Attached Figure Description

[0023] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions provided in this application, the accompanying drawings will be briefly described below. Obviously, the drawings described below are merely some embodiments of this application.

[0024] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the method for determining the standard values ​​of characteristic parameters of aircraft structural health status in this application. Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] This application proposes a method for determining the standard values ​​of characteristic parameters of aircraft structural health status. For the health monitoring characteristic parameters of different levels of aircraft structure, by defining and classifying the characteristic parameters of global or local structures, the method establishes the evaluation standards of characteristic parameters of different levels of aircraft, and realizes the definition of the standard values ​​of characteristic parameters of global or local structures.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for determining the standard values ​​of aircraft structural state characteristic parameters proposed in this application includes the following steps:

[0028] Step S1: Based on the ability to reflect the current status of key aircraft health indicators, the aircraft structural state characteristic parameters are divided into global structural characteristic parameters and local structural characteristic parameters according to their levels.

[0029] In this application, the structural characteristic parameters of the aircraft are divided into two levels. The first level consists of parameters that describe the overall operational status of the aircraft corresponding to the key health indicators of the overall aircraft structure. These parameters are called global structural characteristic parameters. The second level consists of parameters that describe the failure modes corresponding to the key health indicators of aircraft components or key structures (collectively referred to as local structures of the aircraft). These parameters are called local structural characteristic parameters.

[0030] Step S2: Determine the specific characteristic parameters contained in the global structural characteristic parameters and the local structural characteristic parameters based on whether they can reflect the global operational status information of the aircraft structure or the status information of the failure modes of the local structure.

[0031] The information parameter cluster that can reflect the overall operational status of the aircraft structure is This includes takeoff and landing information parameters, flight information parameters, flight load information parameters, flight environment information parameters, and mission information parameters. Structural state information parameters... Make a judgment if the structural state information parameters If the structural state information parameters are such that the pitch angle, yaw angle, roll angle, and sideslip angle are considered flight information parameters, then these four structural state information parameters are global structural characteristic parameters.

[0035] Information clusters that can reflect the failure modes of local structures of an aircraft are This includes load information parameters, strain information parameters, damage monitoring information parameters, vibration information parameters, and local environmental monitoring information parameters. (The text also mentions structural state information parameters.) Make a judgment if the structural state information parameters If the structural state information parameter is a local structural characteristic parameter, then the crack length is a damage monitoring information parameter.

[0039] Step S3: Based on the design status of the global structural feature parameters and the local structural feature parameters, classify the specific feature parameters contained in the global structural feature parameters and the local structural feature parameters.

[0040] Based on the design state of the global structural characteristic parameters, this application divides the overall aircraft structural characteristic parameters into two main categories: the first category consists of parameters M1 reflecting the basic flight state of the aircraft (i.e., the basic flight characteristic parameters of the global structure), such as flight altitude, speed, time, and aircraft attitude angles; the second category consists of parameters M2 reflecting the overall load on the aircraft (i.e., the overall load characteristic parameters of the global structure), such as three-dimensional overload at the center of gravity, cabin pressurization value, and landing center of gravity sinking speed. Further evaluation of the specific characteristic parameters of the global structural characteristic parameters is then conducted. If the specific characteristic parameter MK exhibits load characteristics, then... ,otherwise .

[0041] Tables 3 and 4 show the first type of parameter M1 and the second type of parameter M2 after further classification of the global structural feature parameters in this embodiment of the application.

[0046] Based on the design state of local structural characteristic parameters, this application also divides the local structural characteristic parameters into two main categories: the first category is parameter N1 (i.e., local structural damage development characteristic parameters) that reflects the strain, damage, and environment of the local structure, including crack length, corrosion depth, etc.; the second category is parameter N2 (i.e., local structural load characteristic parameters) that reflects the load spectrum of the local structure, mainly the load parameters of parts such as the fuselage, wing, tail, moving wing surface, engine mounts, landing gear, and control system. The specific characteristic parameters of the local structural characteristic parameters are judged; if its specific characteristic parameter NK exhibits load characteristics, then... ,otherwise .

[0052] Step S4: Determine the standard extreme values ​​of each specific feature parameter based on the variation of each specific feature parameter after classification.

[0053] In this application, the design state of each specific characteristic parameter includes two levels of variation, including changes in the structural characteristic parameters that differ from the initial state or predicted state of the aircraft structural design.

[0054] After classification, the standard extreme value λ of each specific feature parameter is the range of values ​​formed by the structural feature parameter T corresponding to the initial state P of the aircraft structural design or the attenuation state predicted by the structural design, and the positive and negative errors Δ introduced during the acquisition of feature parameters, i.e.: .
