Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of geotechnical engineering and intelligent computing, and in particular to a method for intelligent prediction and parameter optimization of rock mass mechanical properties based on digital twins. Background Technology
[0002] The mechanical behavior of contact surfaces such as rock joint surfaces, fracture surfaces, and structural surfaces is a core fundamental issue in the stability analysis and disaster prevention of rock mass engineering. Their shear strength, deformation characteristics, and parameter evolution directly determine the safety and reliability of rock mass engineering structures such as slopes, underground caverns, and tunnels. Currently, mainstream research methods in the industry face significant bottlenecks.
[0003] Indoor mechanical testing methods, such as direct shear tests and cyclic shear tests, can realistically reproduce the mechanical response characteristics of rock contact surfaces. However, due to strict limitations in sample preparation, loading conditions, and equipment capabilities, they are difficult to cover multi-parameter and multi-condition scenarios in complex engineering projects. The testing costs are high, and they cannot form a data expression form with unified physical meaning under multi-scale and multi-condition conditions, which seriously limits the application of data-driven methods in engineering prediction and parameter inversion.
[0004] Numerical simulation methods, by constructing a model of the rock mass and its contact relationship, can flexibly simulate the shear slip and deformation processes at the rock contact surface. However, the calculation results are highly sensitive to key parameters such as contact stiffness, friction coefficient, and cohesion. These parameters generally rely on empirical values or repeated manual calculations to determine, lacking an intelligent and unified mapping and inversion mechanism between experimental data and numerical simulation results. This results in extremely low parameter inversion efficiency and makes it difficult to maintain the consistency and stability of parameter values under different working conditions.
[0005] In existing technologies, experimental data and numerical simulation results are mostly used independently. A complete technical solution has not yet been formed that can express and fuse the two types of data in multiple modes under unified physical constraints, and simultaneously realize intelligent prediction of mechanical behavior and adaptive optimization of parameters. This cannot meet the core needs of refined analysis and efficient calculation in complex rock mass engineering. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This invention provides an intelligent prediction and parameter optimization method for rock mass mechanical properties based on digital twins. The core objective is to overcome the fundamental shortcomings of existing rock contact surface mechanical analysis techniques: key mechanical parameters rely on manual experience for value selection, numerical simulation computation is inefficient, experimental data and numerical simulation data are difficult to effectively integrate within a unified physical framework, and mechanical information at different scales is difficult to collaboratively model. By proposing an intelligent analysis scheme that integrates experimental and numerical simulations, combines cross-scale data modeling with physical prior constraints, it achieves rapid and accurate prediction of the mechanical response of rock contact surfaces, as well as intelligent inversion and optimization of key mechanical parameters of the contact surfaces. Ultimately, this comprehensively improves the computational efficiency, prediction accuracy, and engineering applicability of rock contact surface mechanical analysis.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A method for intelligent prediction and parameter optimization of rock mass mechanical properties based on digital twins, comprising:

It forms a unified cross-scale image feature representation through scale alignment or feature aggregation. At the same time, it combines the feature description method of local texture statistical analysis to extract geometric morphology and surface roughness features related to the mechanical behavior of rock contact surfaces.
[0019] In this specification, the multimodal feature processing model described in S5 introduces an attention weighting mechanism based on prior mechanical and physical constraints of rock contact surfaces during feature encoding and fusion. The attention weights are initialized based on at least one of the mechanical prior information, such as the evolution law of contact stiffness, shear-normal coupling relationship, and friction constitutive properties, and are adaptively corrected based on a data-driven approach during model training.
[0020] In this specification, the rock mechanics physical constraints described in S6 include at least one of mechanical equilibrium constraints, boundary condition constraints, and material constitutive consistency constraints. These physical constraints participate in the construction of the model loss function or the updating of attention weights to guide the model training process using prior physical information. The specific steps of the model training include:

[0022] The feature vectors are divided into training datasets and validation datasets according to a preset ratio;
[0023] The training and validation datasets are scaled to eliminate the impact of differences in the dimensions of different physical quantities on model training.
[0024] The processed training dataset is input into the mechanical behavior prediction and parameter optimization model, and the network weight parameters are iteratively updated through the backpropagation algorithm under the condition of satisfying the preset physical constraints.
[0025] When the prediction error of the model on the validation dataset meets the preset convergence condition, the trained prediction model is output.

[0033] By embedding the entire process of rock mechanics physical prior constraints into the feature fusion, training optimization and updating of the artificial intelligence model, the "black box" problem of pure data-driven models is solved, ensuring the physical rationality and engineering reliability of the model output results. At the same time, it avoids the high computational cost caused by repeated parameter calculations in traditional numerical simulations, and significantly improves the computational efficiency of mechanical analysis.

[0063] In some embodiments, based on the prediction model trained by S6, and combined with the three-dimensional scanning data and geological survey data of the engineering site, a digital twin of the rock contact surface is constructed. The digital twin is used to map the geometry, mechanical state and evolution process of the real rock contact surface.

[0065] This invention constructs a complete technical system of "cross-scale multimodal data fusion - physical constraint AI modeling - adaptive closed-loop optimization", and the core implementation process is as follows:
[0066] Multi-source data acquisition and system construction: Acquire experimental data and numerical simulation data of rock contact surfaces, as well as corresponding material parameters, working condition parameters, and contact surface morphology image data; complete cross-scale division of data according to three levels of micro, meso, and macro scales; realize unified mapping and expression of data at different scales based on homogenization theory and scale transformation matrix; at the same time, according to the physical expression form, divide the data into four modes: parameters, curves, images, and time series, and construct a complete cross-scale multimodal data system.
[0067] Multi-scale and multi-modal feature extraction and fusion: For image modal data, a multi-scale image feature extraction model is constructed to extract core image features of contact surface geometry, roughness, and spatial distribution at different scales; for four modal data, a multi-modal feature processing model is constructed to complete data preprocessing and independent feature encoding, and an attention weighting mechanism based on rock mechanics physical prior constraints is introduced to achieve deep fusion of features at different scales and modalities, forming a cross-scale fused feature representation of experimental and numerical simulation.
[0068] Construction of Mechanical Behavior Prediction and Parameter Optimization Model: Using cross-scale fusion features as input, a mechanical behavior prediction and parameter optimization model is constructed, which includes regression prediction and intelligent optimization modules. During the model training and optimization process, physical constraints such as mechanical equilibrium, boundary conditions, and material constitutive consistency are embedded to guide the model to learn the nonlinear mapping relationship between working parameters, contact surface morphology and mechanical response, thereby completing the model training.
[0069] Predictive optimization output and closed-loop update: Input the parameters of the working condition to be analyzed into the trained model, and output the predicted mechanical behavior of rock contact surface shear strength, normal deformation, contact stiffness evolution, friction characteristics, etc., as well as the optimal values, candidate intervals or probability distributions of key mechanical parameters. At the same time, the predicted results are compared with newly added experimental, numerical simulation or engineering monitoring data, and the model update strategy is adaptively selected based on the prediction error and working condition change characteristics, forming an adaptive closed-loop optimization process of experiment-numerical simulation-artificial intelligence collaboration.
[0070] Furthermore, this method can construct a digital twin of the rock contact surface based on the prediction model and engineering site data, thereby realizing real-time mapping, dynamic control, and risk warning of the rock mass condition at the engineering site.
[0071] The technical concept of this invention is as follows:
[0072] The experiment data of the rock contact surface, the numerical simulation data obtained by numerical simulation method, and the material parameters and working condition parameters corresponding to the experimental data and numerical simulation data are obtained. The experimental data includes mechanical response data of the rock contact surface obtained by indoor test or field test, and the numerical simulation data includes mechanical response data of the rock contact surface obtained by discontinuous deformation analysis method. At the same time, the original image data characterizing the morphology or contact state of the rock contact surface are obtained. The original image data includes contact surface scan images, morphology contour maps or contact state distribution maps at different scales.
[0073] The experimental data, numerical simulation data, and raw image data are divided into cross-scale categories according to micro, meso, and macro scales to construct a three-level cross-scale data system of micro-meso-macro.
[0074] Based on the physical representation of data at different scales, the data is modally divided to form a multimodal data system that includes at least parametric modal data, curve modal data, image modal data, and time series modal data.
[0075] For the aforementioned image modal data, a multi-scale image feature extraction model is constructed. Through image recognition and feature extraction processing, image modal feature data characterizing the geometric morphology, surface roughness, and spatial distribution of the rock contact surface at different scales are extracted.
[0076] The parametric modal data, curve modal data, time series modal data, and the multi-scale image modal feature data are respectively cleaned, outlier data is removed, features are extracted and normalized, and features of different modes and scales are encoded and fused under the unified physical quantity definition and scale mapping conditions.
[0077] In the feature fusion process, an attention weighting mechanism based on prior mechanical and physical constraints of rock contact surfaces is introduced. The attention weights are initialized based on prior mechanical information and adaptively corrected during model training using a data-driven approach. This constructs a cross-scale fusion dataset or fusion feature representation of experimental and numerical simulation, which is then used for subsequent prediction of rock contact surface mechanical behavior and parameter optimization modeling.
[0078] A mechanical behavior prediction and parameter optimization model is constructed using the experimental-numerical simulation cross-scale fusion dataset or fusion feature representation as input. During the training process, one or more of the following constraints are introduced: mechanical equilibrium constraints, boundary condition constraints, or material constitutive consistency constraints. This allows the model to learn the mapping relationship between working condition parameters, contact surface morphology features, and rock contact surface mechanical behavior under the premise of satisfying the mechanical and physical rationality of the rock contact surface, thus obtaining a trained rock contact surface mechanical behavior prediction model.
[0079] Input the parameters of the working condition to be analyzed into the trained rock contact surface mechanical behavior prediction model, and output the mechanical response prediction results and / or the optimization results of the contact surface mechanical parameters of the corresponding rock contact surface. The mechanical response prediction results include one or more of shear strength, normal deformation, contact stiffness evolution or friction characteristics.
[0080] The experimental results, numerical simulation results, or engineering monitoring results under the working condition to be analyzed are obtained and compared with the prediction results. When the prediction error exceeds the preset threshold, the image feature extraction model, multimodal feature processing model, or mechanical behavior prediction and parameter optimization model are adaptively selected for incremental training, transfer learning, or retraining according to the characteristics of working condition changes or scene type, forming an adaptive closed-loop optimization process of experiment-numerical simulation-artificial intelligence collaboration.
[0081] This invention constructs a fusion system of cross-scale experimental data and numerical simulation data based on discontinuous deformation analysis methods, and achieves collaborative modeling of multimodal and multi-scale information under a unified physical framework, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of predicting the mechanical behavior of rock contact surfaces.
[0082] This invention introduces an artificial intelligence model with embedded mechanical and physical prior constraints to achieve rapid prediction of the mechanical response of rock contact surfaces, avoiding the high computational cost caused by repeated trial calculations and parameter adjustments in traditional numerical simulation methods, and significantly improving computational efficiency.
[0083] This invention enables intelligent inversion and optimization of key mechanical parameters of rock contact surfaces under mechanical and physical constraints, reducing reliance on human experience in parameter selection and improving the objectivity, reliability, and engineering applicability of parameter determination.
[0084] This invention supports continuous updating and adaptive correction of the model under different working conditions and scenarios. It is suitable for efficient analysis and prediction of the mechanical behavior of rock contact surfaces under complex rock mass engineering conditions, and has good scalability and engineering promotion value.
[0085] This method is based on experimental data, numerical simulation data and contact surface image data of rock contact surfaces at the micro, meso, and macro scales. By constructing a three-level cross-scale data system of micro-meso-macro, and introducing homogenization theory and scale transformation matrix, it realizes the mapping and expression of features at different scales in a unified feature space.
[0086] Based on this, combined with multimodal artificial intelligence modeling technology, parametric modal data, curve modal data, time series modal data and image modal data are jointly modeled to establish a nonlinear mapping relationship between working condition parameters, contact surface morphology features and rock contact surface mechanical response. This enables the prediction of rock contact surface mechanical behavior and intelligent inversion and optimization of key mechanical parameters, forming an adaptive closed-loop optimization process that combines experiment, numerical simulation and artificial intelligence.
[0087] Based on the manifestation of rock contact surface mechanical behavior at different spatial scales, experimental data and numerical simulation data are divided into microscale data, mesoscale data and macroscale data.
[0088] Microscale data are used to characterize particle contact properties, micro-roughness structure, and local geometric undulations.
[0089] Microscale data are used to characterize crack distribution features, contact element combination characteristics, and local structural surface response behavior;
[0090] Macroscale data are used to characterize the mechanical response behavior of the overall structural surface under external loads.
[0091] To achieve consistent representation of features at different scales, a scale transformation matrix based on homogenization theory and numerical equivalence principle is introduced to map and transform feature parameters at different scales, making them comparable in a unified feature space, thereby eliminating the feature misalignment problem caused by cross-scale feature differences.
[0092] The method and process are briefly described as follows:
[0093] The experimental data of the rock contact surface, the numerical simulation data obtained by the numerical simulation method, and the original image data of the contact surface are obtained, and the material parameters and working condition parameters corresponding to the data are obtained simultaneously.
[0094] The experimental data, numerical simulation data, and image data are divided into micro-scale, meso-scale, and macro-scale to construct a three-level cross-scale original data system.
[0095] Based on homogenization theory and scale transformation matrix, scale mapping and unified expression are performed on data features at different scales, realizing the mapping of micro, meso and macro scale features in a unified feature space, and eliminating the feature misalignment problem caused by cross-scale feature differences.
[0096] For image modal data at different scales, a multi-scale image feature extraction model is constructed. Through image recognition and feature extraction processing, image modal feature data that characterize the geometric morphology, surface roughness and spatial distribution of rock contact surfaces at micro, meso and macro scales are extracted.
[0097] Data cleaning, outlier removal, feature extraction, and normalization are performed on the parametric modal data, curve modal data, time series modal data, and the image modal feature data, respectively.
[0098] Under the conditions of unified physical quantity definition and scale mapping, features of different modes and scales are encoded and fused to construct experimental-numerical simulation cross-scale fused datasets or fused feature representations.
[0099] Construct a mechanical behavior prediction and parameter optimization model with the experimental-numerical simulation cross-scale fusion dataset or fusion feature representation as input, and introduce one or more of the following: mechanical equilibrium constraints, boundary condition constraints, or material constitutive consistency constraints.
[0100] The model is trained using the fused dataset to obtain a trained prediction model of the mechanical behavior of rock contact surfaces.
[0101] Input the parameters of the working condition to be analyzed into the trained rock contact surface mechanical behavior prediction model, and output the corresponding rock contact surface mechanical response prediction results and / or the optimization results of key mechanical parameters of the contact surface.
[0102] Obtain the experimental results, numerical simulation results, or engineering monitoring results under the working condition to be analyzed, and compare them with the model prediction results;
[0103] When the prediction error exceeds the preset threshold, the current scene is judged based on the working condition parameters, loading path or contact surface state change characteristics, and the model update strategy is adaptively selected to update or correct the image feature extraction model, multimodal feature processing model or mechanical behavior prediction and parameter optimization model, forming an adaptive closed-loop optimization process of experiment-numerical simulation-artificial intelligence collaboration.
[0104] The detailed implementation examples of image modal feature extraction are as follows:
[0105] In this embodiment, the image modal feature extraction step is used to convert the original image modal data of the rock contact surface into image modal feature data with clear physical meaning, so as to participate in subsequent multimodal feature fusion and mechanical behavior prediction modeling.
[0106] Image modal data sources and preprocessing:
[0107] The image modal data includes rock contact surface morphology images, scanned contour maps, or contact state distribution maps, which can be obtained by three-dimensional laser scanning, structured light scanning, digital image correlation methods, or microscopic imaging methods.
[0108] Before feature extraction, the image modal data is preprocessed. The preprocessing steps include image denoising, grayscale normalization, size resampling, and background region removal to reduce the impact of imaging noise and differences in acquisition conditions on the feature extraction results.
[0109] Image feature extraction model construction:
[0110] For the preprocessed image modal data, an image feature extraction model is constructed. The image feature extraction model adopts a multi-scale convolutional neural network structure to extract features in parallel from rock contact surface images with different spatial resolutions and scale levels. A unified cross-scale image feature representation is formed through scale alignment or feature aggregation. The model is used to extract multi-scale geometric and roughness features related to the mechanical behavior of rock contact surfaces, providing a priori feature basis for subsequent physical constraint modeling and attention weight allocation.
[0111] The feature extraction structure based on the convolutional neural network includes at least one set of convolutional layers, nonlinear activation layers, and pooling layers, which are used to automatically learn the spatial structural features in the rock contact surface morphology image.
[0112] The texture feature extraction structure based on local statistical analysis is used to extract statistical feature parameters that reflect the micro-roughness and local undulation features of the contact surface.

[0117] Through multi-layer convolution operations, macroscopic morphological features and local structural features in the rock contact surface morphology image are extracted step by step.
[0118] Local texture statistical feature extraction:
[0119] In another embodiment, to enhance the physical interpretability of image features, local texture statistical analysis is performed on the convolution feature extraction results or the original image modal data to extract statistical parameters characterizing the roughness and spatial distribution features of the contact surface.
[0120] The local texture statistical features include, but are not limited to, local height mean, standard deviation, slope distribution parameters, and gray-level co-occurrence matrix features. These local texture statistical features are used to characterize the actual contact area variation trend and local stress concentration potential of the rock contact surface during mechanical loading. Its local roughness characteristic parameters can be expressed as:
[0121] ;
[0122] This represents the root mean square roughness characteristic value of the local region; This represents the total number of pixels participating in the statistical calculation within the local area; This variable represents the index of a pixel within a local region, and its value range is... ; Indicates the first The height or grayscale value corresponding to each pixel; This represents the arithmetic mean of the height or grayscale values of all pixels within the local area.
[0123] The depth features extracted by the convolutional neural network are concatenated or weighted with local texture statistical features to form an image modality feature vector characterizing the geometric morphology, surface roughness, and spatial distribution characteristics of the rock contact surface. ;
[0124] The image modal feature vectors, as intermediate feature variables with clear physical meanings, participate together with parametric modal data, curve modal data, and time series modal data in the subsequent multimodal feature encoding, fusion, and construction of mechanical behavior prediction and parameter optimization models.
[0125] Detailed implementation examples of multimodal feature encoding and fusion are as follows:
[0126] In this embodiment, the multimodal feature encoding and fusion step is used to convert parameter modal data, curve modal data, time series modal data and image modal feature data from different sources and with different physical representations into a unified feature representation, and to realize collaborative modeling of multimodal information, providing a stable and reliable model input for subsequent prediction of rock contact surface mechanical behavior and parameter optimization.
[0127] In one embodiment, the input data involved in multimodal feature encoding and fusion includes:
[0128] Parametric modal data are used to characterize the working parameters and material parameters of the rock contact surface;
[0129] Curve modal data are used to characterize the changes in the mechanical response of rock contact surfaces during loading or shearing.
[0130] Time-series modal data are used to characterize the evolution of the mechanical response of rock contact surfaces over time under cyclic loading or multi-stage loading conditions;
[0131] Image modal feature data is used to characterize the geometry, surface roughness, and spatial distribution characteristics of rock contact surfaces.
[0132] The aforementioned multimodal features have different physical dimensions, data structures, and time scales, and therefore require unified encoding and fusion processing.
[0133] For the physical properties of different modal features, corresponding feature encoding sub-models are constructed to encode each modal feature independently.
[0134] Parametric modal feature encoding: Normalize and perform feature mapping on parametric modal data to map it to a high-dimensional feature space, forming parametric modal feature vectors. ;
[0135] Curve modal feature encoding: The curve modal data is discretized into a unified sequence of sampling points, and the curve morphological features are extracted through function modeling or sequence coding models to form a curve modal feature vector. ;
[0136] Time-series modal feature encoding: Construct a time-series feature encoding model for time-series modal data to extract time-series feature vectors that reflect the evolution of mechanical response over time. ;
[0137] Image modal feature encoding: The image modal feature vector output from the image modal feature step is subjected to dimensionality compression and feature mapping to form an image modal feature vector with the same scale as other modal features. ;

Modal feature vector. t represents the modal category index. , where T is the total number of modes; Let represent the mean of the feature vector of the t-th modality on the training dataset; Indicates the first The standard deviation of the modality feature vector on the training dataset.
[0140] Meanwhile, mechanical consistency constraints are introduced during the feature encoding process to ensure that the encoded features satisfy the basic mechanical equilibrium relationship and material constitutive constraints.
[0141] In one embodiment, a multimodal feature fusion model is used to fuse the feature vectors of each modality. The fusion method includes one or more of feature concatenation, weighted fusion, or attention-weighted fusion. The attention weights are set during the initialization phase based on prior mechanical and physical information such as the evolution law of contact stiffness of the rock contact surface, shear-normal coupling relationship, or friction constitutive properties, and are adaptively corrected during model training through a data-driven approach. The attention-weighted fusion method assigns weights according to the contribution of different modal features to the prediction target, and its fused feature representation is as follows: ;
[0142] in: This represents the fused multimodal feature vector; This represents the feature vector corresponding to the s-th modality; s represents the modality category index, s=1,2,…,S; S represents the total number of modalities participating in the fusion. This represents the attention weight coefficient corresponding to the s-th modality feature.
[0143] The attention weight coefficients satisfy the normalization constraint: ;
[0144] During model training, the weight coefficients are adaptively adjusted by optimizing the objective function, so that the fused feature vector can more effectively represent the contribution of different modal data to the task of predicting the mechanical behavior of rock contact surfaces.
[0145] The weight coefficients are obtained by adaptive learning during the training process of the fusion model.
[0146] The multimodal features obtained by the fusion are represented As a unified input feature, it is fed into the subsequent rock contact surface mechanical behavior prediction and parameter optimization model to establish the nonlinear mapping relationship between working condition parameters, contact surface morphology features and rock contact surface mechanical response.
[0147] Through the above-mentioned multimodal feature encoding and fusion processing, the experimental data, numerical simulation data and image information are utilized in a coordinated manner, thereby improving the model's ability to express and predict the mechanical behavior of rock contact surfaces under complex working conditions.
[0148] A detailed implementation example of the mechanical behavior prediction and parameter optimization model is as follows:
[0149] In this embodiment, the mechanical behavior prediction and parameter optimization model is used to establish a mapping relationship between working condition parameters, contact surface morphology features and rock contact surface mechanical response based on multimodal fusion features, so as to realize the prediction of rock contact surface mechanical behavior and intelligent inversion and optimization of key mechanical parameters.

[0154] The optimization results of key mechanical parameters of rock contact surfaces include optimal parameter values, candidate parameter intervals, or parameter probability distributions.
[0155] Predictive model structure construction:
[0156] In one embodiment, a mechanical behavior prediction model based on a deep neural network is constructed. The model includes an input layer, several hidden layers, and an output layer. Feature transformation between the layers is achieved through nonlinear mapping.
[0157] The forward propagation process of the model can be represented as: ;

[0159] This model enables a nonlinear mapping between multimodal fusion features and mechanical response.
[0160] Physical consistency constraints are introduced:
[0161] In one embodiment, a comprehensive loss function, including a data consistency term and a mechanical consistency term, is used during model training. The comprehensive loss function of the model can be expressed as:
[0162] ;

[0164] The term represents the mechanical consistency constraint error term, where R(·) represents the residual operator composed of mechanical equilibrium equations, contact conditions, or material constitutive relations, and β represents the mechanical parameters of the contact surface to be identified. is the weighting coefficient (which can be dynamically adjusted according to the accuracy requirements and physical constraint priorities of the engineering scenario; the exemplary value range is 0.1 to 10), and N is the number of samples. For sample index;
[0165] Multi-objective optimization mathematical model:
[0166] In the parameter optimization phase, the parameter inversion problem is constructed as a multi-objective optimization problem, the mathematical expression of which is:
[0167] :

Ω denotes the feasible region of the parameters; Indicates in and The model predicts the mechanical response of the rock contact surface under the given conditions; This represents the experimentally measured mechanical response data of the rock contact surface; Indicates to The expectation operator; Indicates to The gradient operator; This represents the L2 norm. For the goal of data consistency; For robustness objectives; For parameter sensitivity targets;
[0169] In one embodiment, the mechanical consistency condition is used as a feasible region constraint in the parameter optimization process, and its mathematical expression is:
[0170] ;
[0171] in This is the allowable threshold for mechanical residuals; This indicates the range of parameter values determined by engineering experience or experiments.
[0172] The aforementioned multi-objective optimization problem is solved using a multi-objective intelligent optimization algorithm based on non-dominated sorting. In one specific implementation, an improved non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm III is used to search the parameter space to obtain a set of Pareto optimal solutions that satisfy the multi-objective constraints.
[0173] ;
[0174] Where P represents the Pareto optimal solution set; Let represent the o-th candidate parameter solution; O represents the number of solutions contained in the Pareto optimal solution set. A parameter solution is called a non-dominated solution and constitutes the Pareto optimal solution set P when no other parameter solution is simultaneously superior to it on all optimization objectives, and it is not inferior to other solutions on at least one objective function.
[0175] In some embodiments, when the engineering scenario has higher requirements for physical rationality (such as safety-sensitive projects like high slopes and deep-buried tunnels), it can be The value is set to 5 to 10 to strengthen the guiding role of mechanical consistency constraints in model training and prioritize ensuring that the prediction results conform to the basic laws of rock mechanics.

The value is set to 0.1 to 2 to prioritize the model's ability to fit experimental and numerical simulation data and improve prediction accuracy under local conditions.
[0177] For conventional rock mass engineering scenarios, it can be The initial values are set to 1 to 3, and are adaptively fine-tuned during training based on the error feedback from the validation set, balancing data fitting and physical compliance.
[0178] In some embodiments, the multi-scale convolutional neural network used in the multi-scale image feature extraction model can adopt the following typical structure to adapt to the feature extraction requirements of rock contact surface morphology images:

[0186] 4. Feature Fusion Interface: This interface concatenates the feature vector with other modal features and inputs it into the multimodal feature processing model.
[0187] In some embodiments, the improved non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm III addresses the multi-objective optimization problem of mechanical parameters of rock contact surfaces, and makes the following core improvements based on the standard NSGA-III:
[0188] 1. Constraint Initialization: During the population initialization phase, a hard constraint on the mechanically feasible region is introduced, generating only initial individuals that satisfy the basic laws of rock mechanics (e.g., the friction coefficient is limited to a range of 0.2~0.8, and the contact stiffness is limited to a range of...). ), to avoid invalid iterations and physically infeasible solutions;
[0189] 2. Physical constraint penalty mechanism: In the crossover and mutation operation, a penalty function is applied to the generated offspring individuals that violate mechanical consistency constraints (such as shear strength exceeding the rock ultimate strength, and the relationship between normal deformation and stress violating constitutive laws), thereby reducing their fitness value and guiding the algorithm to converge toward the physical feasible region;
[0190] 3. Engineering-oriented reference point setting: In the reference point setting stage, combined with engineering experience and parameter sensitivity analysis, targets closely related to engineering safety (such as shear strength and contact stiffness) are selected as reference directions to improve the engineering applicability of the optimization results;
