Background Technology
[0002] As research into controlled nuclear fusion deepens, the size and structural complexity of the tokamak main unit, as the core equipment for achieving magnetic confinement fusion, have increased significantly. The main unit system includes large and precision components such as vacuum chambers, superconducting magnets, support structures, and cold shielding systems. These components require multiple hoisting, positioning, docking, and pre-tightening operations during the assembly process. Any slight assembly deviation or structural abnormality may lead to stress concentration, permanent deformation, or even functional failure.
[0003] Currently, structural safety assessments during the assembly process of tokamak mainframes primarily rely on finite element simulation analysis. The finite element method can be used to calculate stress, strain, and displacement distributions under specific assembly conditions, thereby determining the structural safety margin. However, traditional finite element simulation is a deterministic analysis, only reflecting results under "nominal conditions," and cannot effectively account for the influence of multi-source uncertainties such as assembly errors, material property fluctuations, and uneven load application, leading to discrepancies between the assessment results and actual conditions.

[0024] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0025] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes an assembly risk assessment method, a computer-readable storage medium, an assembly risk assessment device, and an assembly risk assessment platform for a tokamak host according to embodiments of the present invention.
[0026] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the assembly risk assessment method for a tokamak main unit according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0027] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the assembly risk assessment method for the tokamak main unit includes: S101, establish corresponding finite element models according to different working conditions of the tokamak main unit during the assembly process. The finite element model corresponding to each working condition includes geometric model, material parameters, boundary conditions and load conditions.
[0028] It is understood that, in this embodiment of the present invention, a corresponding finite element model is established based on different working conditions of the tokamak main unit during the assembly process (e.g., hoisting, flipping, assembling, supporting and welding positioning, etc.) to form a working condition library. The finite element model corresponding to each working condition includes: 1) a geometric model (e.g., a three-dimensional structure such as a vacuum chamber, magnet, hoisting fixture, etc.); and 2) material parameters (e.g., elastic modulus). and yield strength 3) Boundary conditions (e.g., lifting point constraints and support point stiffness); 4) Load conditions (e.g., self-weight, lifting acceleration and preload).
[0029] Optionally, in the above embodiments of the present invention, the equivalent stress field for each working condition is also calculated based on the simulation analysis results. : ; in, , , Principal stress, in MPa; , , This represents the shear stress component, with units of MPa.
[0030] Then, calculate the safety factor for each working condition: ; in, This refers to the required stress of the material, expressed in MPa. It can be determined by referring to the requirements in ASME BPVC.VIII.2-2015 "Another Rule for the Construction of Pressure Vessels" or GB_T4732.4-2024 "Analysis and Design of Pressure Vessels - Part 4: Stress Classification Methods" and using the yield strength. Obtained through calculation.
[0031] S102. Based on the multi-source uncertainty parameters in the assembly process, establish multi-source uncertainty parameter descriptive variables, including geometric deviation, load fluctuation, material property dispersion, and contact characteristics.
[0032] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, geometric deviations include lifting point spatial errors, load fluctuations include clamp preload and lifting amplification factor, material property dispersions include material elastic modulus and material yield strength, and contact characteristics include friction coefficient and support stiffness.
[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, random errors and fluctuations in the assembly process are parameterized to form multi-source uncertainty parameter description variables: ; The meanings of each variable are shown in Table 1 below: (The specific parameters of the variables can be determined through on-site measurement data or statistical analysis based on engineering experience): Table 1. Schematic diagram of descriptive variables for multi-source uncertainty parameters
[0034] Based on the table above, all major uncertainties in the assembly process (geometric type) Assembly position error; load type External forces and dynamic load fluctuations; materials Differences in material properties; contact types Explanation of tooling support and friction changes: 1) Position deviation of lifting point (mm) Physical meaning: The three-dimensional deviation of the lifting device or lifting point from its designed position during actual assembly, including errors in the horizontal direction (x, y) and the vertical direction (z); Typical range: ±1~2mm (normal distribution); Explanation of the cause: It is caused by measurement errors, deviations in the welding position of the lifting lugs, and changes in the elongation of the rigging, etc. Engineering impact: It can cause the overall structure to tilt or the local stress to be uneven, resulting in stress concentration.
[0035] 2) Clamp preload (KN) Physical meaning: In clamps, jigs, or temporary supports, the preload or locking force applied to ensure the positioning of components; Typical range: 100–130 kN, with fluctuations of approximately ±5%; Distribution suggestion: Normal distribution ; Engineering impact: Insufficient preload may lead to gaps or slippage, while excessive preload may cause localized yielding or deformation.
[0036] 3) Material elastic modulus (GPa) Physical meaning: The stiffness index of a material in the elastic stage, reflecting the slope of the stress-strain relationship; Typical range: Approximately 190–210 GPa for steel structures; Distribution suggestion: Normal distribution ; Engineering impact: Differences in material batches or uneven heat treatment can lead to changes in stiffness, thereby affecting overall deformation and load distribution.
[0037] 4) Material yield strength (MPa) Physical meaning: The stress limit at which a material begins to undergo plastic deformation; Typical range: Q345, Q355 and other steels, approximately 300–400 MPa; Distribution suggestion: Normal distribution ; Engineering impact: Low yield strength will significantly reduce the safety factor and is one of the most critical uncertain parameters of strength.
[0038] 5) Contact or support stiffness (KN / mm) Physical meaning: Describes the equivalent elastic stiffness of the contact area of the tooling support surface, lifting lug connection surface, support pad, etc. Typical range: 10–200 KN / mm; Distribution recommendation: Log-normal distribution or uniform distribution, depending on the support structure; Engineering impact: Insufficient support stiffness can cause displacement amplification, leading to increased local stress; excessive stiffness may cause stress concentration.
[0039] 6) Coefficient of friction (dimensionless) Physical meaning: The frictional performance index between contact surfaces (such as support pads, lifting lugs, clamps, etc.); Typical range: 0.10–0.18 (depending on surface finish and lubrication). Distribution recommendation: Uniform distribution ; Engineering impact: Fluctuations in the coefficient of friction can alter the load distribution on the contact surface, directly affecting the support reaction force and slippage safety.
[0040] 7) Lifting magnification factor (dimensionless) Physical meaning: It reflects the load amplification effect caused by inertia, dynamic load impact, synchronization error, etc. during the hoisting process; Typical range: 1.05–1.20; Distribution suggestion: Log-normal distribution ; Project impact: The larger the value, the higher the equivalent stress; if the suspension points are not coordinated or the braking is unstable, The fluctuations are particularly significant.
[0041] Therefore, by introducing multiple random variables in the assembly process, including geometric deviations (lifting point position errors), load fluctuations (preload, lifting acceleration), material property dispersion (elastic modulus, yield strength), and contact characteristics (friction coefficient, support stiffness), and mathematically modeling their distribution types, a multi-source uncertainty description under complex assembly conditions can be achieved.
[0042] S103, Based on the Monte Carlo method, random sampling is performed on the multi-source uncertainty parameters to generate N sets of multi-source uncertainty parameter descriptor variable samples.
[0043] It is understood that, in this embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that there are m uncertain parameters (e.g., lifting point deviation, clamping force, material yield strength, etc.) during the assembly process, forming the aforementioned multi-source uncertainty parameter descriptive variables: ; The distribution type and parameter of each parameter are determined experimentally or empirically to describe the "natural fluctuation range" that may occur during actual production and assembly. Based on the aforementioned distribution, N sets of multi-source uncertainty parameter descriptive variable samples are generated using the Monte Carlo method: ; Each group of samples This is one possible "assembly scenario".
[0044] S104, perform finite element analysis on each set of multi-source uncertainty parameter descriptor variable samples to obtain the equivalent force field and safety factor under each set of multi-source uncertainty parameter descriptor variable samples.
[0045] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the equivalent force field and safety factor are obtained for each group of multi-source uncertainty parameter descriptor variable samples, including: S201, import each set of multi-source uncertainty parameter description variable samples into the finite element model of the corresponding working condition, and update the corresponding parameters in the finite element model of the corresponding working condition.
[0046] It is understood that, in this embodiment of the present invention, the parameters corresponding to each group of multi-source uncertainty parameter descriptor variable samples obtained by the aforementioned Monte Carlo sampling method are imported into the finite element model of the corresponding working condition to update the corresponding parameters in the finite element model of the corresponding working condition, thereby simulating the assembly process of the tokamak main unit under different "assembly scenarios".
[0047] It should be noted that in the above embodiments of the present invention, each working condition model in the working condition library corresponds to a typical assembly state. Therefore, when performing finite element analysis on each set of random samples, the model used is determined by the assembly working condition currently being evaluated. For example, in the risk assessment of the hoisting stage, the random sample input is the finite element model corresponding to the hoisting working condition; in the risk assessment of the closure stage, the random sample input is the finite element model corresponding to the closure working condition, and so on. For another example, if multiple assembly working conditions need to be evaluated, it is preferable to perform Monte Carlo batch analysis on each working condition in the working condition library to obtain the stress distribution, safety factor distribution, failure probability and risk level under each working condition, and then sort the working conditions or take the result with the highest risk as the comprehensive evaluation result as needed.
[0048] S202, perform finite element solution on the updated finite element model to obtain the equivalent stress field under each set of multi-source uncertainty parameter descriptor variable samples, and obtain the safety factor under each set of multi-source uncertainty parameter descriptor variable samples based on the equivalent stress field and material required stress under each set of multi-source uncertainty parameter descriptor variable samples.
[0049] It is understood that, in this embodiment of the invention, the stress distribution of the structure is recalculated by performing finite element analysis on the updated finite element model. and safety factor : ; ; Among them, if ( If the minimum value is 1.0 (which is a safety threshold), then this random assembly will lead to failure.
[0050] Therefore, by combining deterministic finite element structural simulation results with stochastic probability analysis methods, a two-layer risk assessment system of "determinism + stochasticity" is established. By performing Monte Carlo random sampling statistics on the safety factor field in the finite element calculation results, a quantitative assessment of the structural failure probability can be achieved.
[0051] S105: Based on the equivalent stress field and safety factor, obtain the structural failure probability and risk level during the assembly process, and generate a visualization report on the assembly risk assessment of the tokamak main unit based on the structural failure probability and risk level.
[0052] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, obtaining the structural failure probability and risk level during the assembly process includes: obtaining the structural failure probability and structural failure severity level during the assembly process based on the safety factor and preset safety factor threshold under each group of multi-source uncertainty parameter description variable samples; and obtaining the risk level during the assembly process based on the structural failure probability and structural failure severity level.
[0053] It is understood that, in this embodiment of the present invention, the structural failure probability is obtained through statistics: ; in, This represents the total number of samples. This is a function that evaluates to 1 if the condition is true, and 0 otherwise. The probability of structural failure (between 0 and 1).
[0054] For example, if the safety factor is calculated in 23 out of 1000 samples. Less than (For example, if the value is 1.0), then P = 23 / 1000 = 0.023, which means the probability of structural failure is 2.3%.
[0055] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, the severity of the consequences of failure at different locations is taken into account. Define risk level : ; in, Risk level (dimensionless); The probability of structural failure (between 0 and 1); The severity of the failure is rated from 1 to 5.
[0056] Therefore, the failure probability And the severity of the consequences By merging these indicators, a sortable risk index can be obtained. Subsequently, the frequency of node overruns can be statistically analyzed. The severity of consequences corresponding to the safety factor is used to obtain the node risk value, generate a structural risk heat map, and realize three-dimensional visualization of the risks of the assembled structure.
[0057] Specifically, the severity of failure is classified based on the safety factor as shown in Table 2 below: Table 2 Severity Chart
[0058] Therefore, based on the safety factor As a unified evaluation indicator, a five-level severity grading system was established. ), and with threshold As a failure criterion, it enables the transformation of risk from qualitative judgment to quantitative classification.
[0059] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, a visualization report on the assembly risk assessment of the tokamak main unit is generated, including: S301 is the probability of stress exceeding the limit for each node or element in the finite element model for the corresponding working condition.
[0060] It is understood that, in this embodiment of the present invention, the probability of stress exceeding the limit at each node or element of the finite element model under the corresponding working condition is obtained in the following way: ; in, This represents the probability that a "stress exceedance" will occur at this location in multiple samplings.
[0061] S302, based on the probability of stress exceeding the limit and the severity level of structural failure, obtain the risk value of each node or unit.
[0062] It is understood that, in this embodiment of the present invention, the risk value of each node or unit is calculated based on the probability of stress exceeding the limit and the corresponding severity level of structural failure.
[0063] S303 visualizes the risk level as a hot zone, generating a hot zone map of the tokamak main unit assembly structure risk in the visualization report of the tokamak main unit assembly risk assessment.
[0064] It is understood that, in this embodiment of the present invention, the risk level value is visualized and output in the form of hot zones (e.g., the higher the risk level value, the redder the hot zone color), thereby generating a visualization report of the assembly risk assessment of the tokamak main unit.
[0065] It should be noted that, in the above embodiments of the present invention, in order to improve the intuitiveness of the risk results, after the finite element simulation analysis is completed, an automated post-processing script can be used to realize the visual mapping between risk information and model geometry. The specific process is as follows: Step A1: Export simulation result data Exporting nodal stresses and equivalent stresses from finite element analysis software (e.g., ABAQUS, ANSYS, etc.) and safety factor The resulting files (e.g., .odb, .rst, or...) wait).
[0066] Step A2: Calculate the out-of-limit frequency of nodes or elements. According to the security threshold Count the number of failures for each node (or unit) across all samples:
[0067] in, For nodes The probability of exceeding the limit; This represents the Monte Carlo sample size.
[0068] Subsequently, based on the probability of "stress exceeding the limit" and the failure severity corresponding to the safety factor at that location, the risk level value at that location is calculated.
[0069] Step A3: Generate the risk level field and write it into the model. The risk level values are divided into five risk ranges (e.g., 0–0.01, 0.01–0.05, 0.05–0.1, 0.1–0.2, >0.2), and the corresponding risk level identifier field is generated in the post-processing software. Then, the field is written into the model database through a Python script (ABAQUS) or APDL macro (ANSYS).
[0070] Step A4: Automatic coloring display and result linkage The post-processing interface automatically assigns different colors to different risk levels (e.g., blue - safe, yellow - medium risk, red - high risk). Then, a 3D risk distribution map is generated in the visualization window, simultaneously labeling the highest-risk areas with their corresponding probability values. This map can be rotated and scaled synchronously with the original geometric model and can be exported as an image or a 3D interactive format.
[0071] Step A5: Output a traceable risk report Automatically generate risk identification reports, including: volume or area percentage of each risk level area; coordinate range and location name of high-risk areas; corresponding working condition number and sample size; safety threshold and statistical method description.
[0072] This enables automated identification and geometrically linked display of simulation result data and structural risk hotspots, significantly improving the intuitiveness and engineering guidance of the results analysis.
[0073] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the method further includes: establishing a multi-source uncertainty parameter template file, and using scripts and the multi-source uncertainty parameter template file to drive automated uncertainty input, batch finite element analysis and risk calculation, thereby realizing automated assessment of the assembly risk of the tokamak main unit.
[0074] It is understood that in this embodiment of the present invention, by establishing a multi-source uncertainty parameter template file, the standardization and repeatability of uncertainty modeling are achieved. Furthermore, by utilizing scripts and the multi-source uncertainty parameter template file to drive automated uncertainty input, batch finite element analysis, and risk calculation, consistency and repeatability of risk analysis for different working conditions and different batches of assembly are achieved. Thus, through parameterized input templates and batch solution scripts, a streamlined management process is realized, enabling automatic generation of random samples, automatic updating of model parameters, and automatic statistical analysis of results, ensuring the standardization, traceability, and reproducibility of the analysis process.
[0075] It should be noted that, in the above embodiments of the present invention, in order to simplify the random parameter input and batch analysis process, a standardized multi-source uncertainty parameter template file is established to realize parameter-driven simulation automation. The specific process is as follows: Step B1: Create a parameter template file Define an uncertainty parameter template in an Excel file or a text file (.csv, .txt), including the following fields: parameter name, distribution type, mean, standard deviation, unit, and value range. An example is shown in Table 3 below: Table 3. Parameter Template File Illustration
[0076] This template can be expanded into a shared parameter table for multiple operating conditions to ensure that all analysis processes use a unified input definition.
[0077] Step B2: Random Sample Generation and Automatic Input File Writing Write a Python script to read template files and automatically generate distributions according to the distribution type. Group random samples And write the parameter values of each group into the finite element input file (such as ABAQUS). (File or ANSYS command stream file).
[0078] Step B3: Batch Calculation and Result Collection Batch calculations can be performed by calling the finite element solver using scripts, and execution can be accelerated through multi-threading or cluster scheduling. Subsequently, stress and safety factor results are automatically extracted after each solution and stored in a unified database.
[0079] Step B4: Result Consistency Verification After the analysis is completed, the input and output data for each sample are compared to confirm the consistency of parameter distribution, sample size, and calculation results. If any anomalies are found (e.g., input range exceeding limits or sample duplication), a warning is automatically recorded and resampling is initiated.
[0080] Step B5: Template Reuse and Update Mechanism When the engineering design is updated or the assembly scheme is adjusted, only the mean and standard deviation of the relevant parameters in the template file need to be modified, without rewriting the script or model.
[0081] Therefore, the aforementioned template system can be reused for different working conditions and different tokamak assembly stages, thereby achieving standardization, automation and traceability of the analysis process.
[0082] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the method further includes: performing structural optimization and / or process optimization on the assembly process of the tokamak main unit based on the assembly risk assessment visualization report of the tokamak main unit.
[0083] It is understood that, in this embodiment of the present invention, key high-risk parts can also be identified based on the assembly risk assessment visualization report of the tokamak main unit, thereby optimizing the structure and / or process of the assembly process of the tokamak main unit. For example, prioritizing the monitoring points (strain gauges, displacement gauges), optimizing assembly process parameters such as lifting point positions, fixture design, and welding sequence, and reinforcing or adjusting the process of parts exceeding the threshold.
[0084] Therefore, a feedback mechanism of "risk assessment - process adjustment - reanalysis" is established in the result output stage. When the structural risk exceeds the threshold, it can automatically return to the uncertainty input stage (resetting parameters) to achieve closed-loop control of assembly process risk.
[0085] The assembly risk assessment process of the tokamak main unit assembly risk assessment method of the present invention will be described below with reference to specific embodiments of the present invention: Step C1: Establish the finite element model Based on the different working conditions of the tokamak main unit during the assembly process (e.g., hoisting, flipping, assembling, support and welding positioning, etc.), a three-dimensional structural geometric model is established in finite element analysis software. The geometric model includes the main unit vacuum chamber section, support fixtures, hoisting tools and clamps, as well as the material parameters, boundary conditions and load conditions applied to each component. Material parameters: Elastic modulus Poisson's ratio Yield strength ; Boundary conditions: Displacement constraints at lifting points, support stiffness Coefficient of contact friction ; Loading conditions: Gravity load Preload hoisting acceleration coefficient .
[0086] Subsequently, the stress field of the structure under nominal working conditions was obtained through finite element analysis. With safety factor distribution .
[0087] Step C2: Establish multi-source uncertainty parameter description variables Considering geometric deviations, load fluctuations, material property dispersion, and contact characteristics present during the assembly process, the variable describing the multi-source uncertainty parameter is defined as follows: ; in, The spatial deviation of the suspension point (mm) follows a normal distribution; The clamping preload (KN) follows a normal distribution. The elastic modulus of the material (GPa) follows a normal distribution.
