[0015] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0016] This application provides a method for analyzing structural deformation and cross-sectional internal forces, whereby the cross-sectional internal forces include resultant forces and resultant moments. Figure 1 As shown, this can be achieved through the following steps: Step S110: Perform modal analysis on the finite element model constructed based on the target structure to extract strain modes, displacement modes, nodal force modes and nodal moment modes; Here, the target structure is the structural component to be analyzed. For example, the target structure could be a wind turbine blade. Constructing a finite element model for the target structure is a mathematical model that discretizes a continuous real structure into a finite number of elements, interconnected by nodes, to approximate the mechanical properties of the actual structure.

[0017] During implementation, modal analysis was performed on the finite element model. Modal analysis is a method for studying the dynamic characteristics of structures, calculating the vibration patterns of the structure at different frequencies. Strain modes, displacement modes, nodal force modes, and nodal moment modes were extracted from the modal analysis results. Specifically, strain modes describe the strain changes at each point of the structure during vibration; displacement modes describe the displacement changes at each point of the structure during vibration; nodal force modes describe the force changes at each node of the structure during vibration; and nodal moment modes describe the torque changes at each node of the structure during vibration.

[0018] Step S120: Using the superposition of multiple displacement modes, determine the structural deformation of the target structure based on the displacement modes and modal coordinate vectors, wherein the modal coordinate vectors are determined based on the local strain information of the target structure and the strain modes, and the local strain information is obtained by strain sensors installed on the target structure; Here, in modal analysis, the modal coordinate vector is used to describe the degree of vibration of the structure in each mode, reflecting the magnitude of the vibration contribution of the structure in different modes.

[0019] Local strain information refers to strain data at specific locations on the target structure obtained through strain sensors. These data reflect the degree of local deformation of the structure.

[0020] In the implementation process, local strain information of the target structure is first acquired using strain sensors installed on the target structure. Based on this local strain information and the previously extracted strain modes, modal coordinate vectors are determined. The modal coordinate vectors reflect the degree of vibration participation of the structure in each mode. Then, by combining the displacement modes and modal coordinate vectors and using the superposition of multiple displacement modes, specific mathematical operations are performed to determine the structural deformation of the target structure, i.e., the actual deformation of the structure during vibration.

[0021] Step S130: Determine the resultant force of the target structure based on the resultant force mode of the cross section and the mode coordinate vector, wherein the resultant force mode of the cross section is obtained by summing the nodal force modes corresponding to all nodes on the target cross section; the expression (11) of the resultant force mode of the cross section is: (11); in, Let i be the nodal force mode of node i; Here, the resultant force mode of a cross section is a parameter used to describe the change of the resultant force on a certain cross section of the target structure during vibration. It can be obtained by summing the nodal force modes on that cross section.

[0022] The resultant force of a section is the actual resultant force on a certain section of the target structure during vibration. It is an important parameter in structural mechanics analysis and is used to evaluate the stress condition of the section.

[0023] During implementation, for a target section on the target structure, the nodal force modes of all corresponding nodes on that section can be summed to obtain the resultant force mode of the section. The target section can be any section of the target structure. Then, combined with the previously determined modal coordinate vector, the resultant force of the target structure section is determined through corresponding mathematical operations, that is, the magnitude and direction of the resultant force on that section during structural vibration.

[0024] Step S140: Determine the resultant moment of the cross section of the target structure based on the resultant moment mode of the cross section and the mode coordinate vector, wherein the resultant moment mode of the cross section is obtained based on the moment reference point, node coordinates, cross section normal vector direction, nodal moment mode and nodal force mode of all nodes on the target cross section; Using the aforementioned moment reference point as the calculation basis, the resultant moment mode of the cross section is obtained based on the following expression (16): (16); in, The torque reference point is... Let i be the coordinates of node i. for transpose, The direction of the normal vector of the cross section is... for transpose, Let i be the nodal force mode. Let i be the nodal moment mode. Let be the set of all nodes on the target cross section.

[0025] Here, the resultant moment mode of the cross section is a parameter used to describe the change of the resultant moment on a certain cross section of the target structure during vibration. It is calculated by comprehensively considering the moment reference point, nodal coordinates, cross section normal vector direction, nodal moment mode, and nodal force mode.

[0026] The resultant moment of a cross section is the actual resultant moment experienced by a certain cross section of the target structure during vibration. It is used to evaluate the rotational effect and force balance of the cross section.

[0027] During implementation, for the target cross-section of the target structure, the resultant moment modes of the cross-section are calculated using specific mathematical formulas based on the moment reference points (reference positions selected when calculating moments), node coordinates (positions of nodes in the global coordinate system), cross-section normal vector direction (vector direction perpendicular to the cross-section), nodal moment modes, and nodal force modes corresponding to all nodes on that cross-section. Then, combined with the modal coordinate vectors, the resultant moment of the target structure's cross-section is determined through mathematical operations, i.e., the magnitude and direction of the resultant moment experienced by that cross-section during structural vibration.

[0028] In this embodiment, firstly, modal analysis extracts multiple modal information, providing a rich data foundation for subsequent analysis. By utilizing local strain information and strain modes to determine modal coordinate vectors, and combining this with displacement modes to determine structural deformation, the deformation of the structure during vibration can be intuitively understood, aiding in the assessment of structural stiffness and stability. Determining the resultant force of the cross-section based on nodal force modes, and determining the resultant moment of the cross-section based on multiple parameters, allows for precise analysis of the stress state of the structural cross-section, including the magnitude, direction, and rotational effects of the forces. Based on the principle of structural modal superposition, strain data obtained from a limited number of measuring points is used to identify and reconstruct the structural modal response, thereby achieving high-precision recovery of the large deformation across the entire structural field, and further calculating the load distribution within the structure. This information is of great significance for structural health monitoring, fault diagnosis, and dynamic design optimization, helping engineers better understand the behavior of the structure under dynamic loads, identify potential problems in advance, and take corresponding measures to ensure the safety and reliability of the structure.

[0029] Currently, structural deformation reconstruction methods based on strain measurement mainly include the Ko displacement theory method and the inverse finite element method. Among them, the Ko displacement theory method establishes the relationship between strain and displacement based on linear beam theory, which is suitable for simple beam structures, but it is difficult to achieve full-field three-dimensional deformation reconstruction of complex structures. The inverse finite element method (iFEM) establishes the inverse relationship between strain and displacement through finite element discretization, which can achieve high-precision deformation reconstruction, but its calculation process is relatively complex and depends on accurate structural physical parameters, making it difficult to meet the needs of real-time calculation.

[0030] In terms of load recovery, existing methods mostly employ load calibration, which involves pre-establishing a calibration relationship between strain and load to invert the load on the structure. However, this method typically only provides load information at the calibration location and struggles to obtain the complete load distribution along the spanwise or spatially distributed structure.

[0031] Therefore, current technologies still lack a unified method that can simultaneously achieve three-dimensional deformation reconstruction and full-field load recovery of structures under limited strain measurement data. To this end, it is necessary to propose a structural response recovery method that balances computational efficiency and reconstruction accuracy, in order to achieve efficient reconstruction of the structure's full-field response.

[0032] This application provides a method for recovering three-dimensional structural deformation and internal loads based on strain measurement. This method is based on the principle of structural modal superposition. Using strain data obtained from a limited number of measuring points, it identifies and reconstructs the structural modal response, thereby achieving high-precision recovery of the large deformation across the entire structural field, and further calculates the internal load distribution of the structure. The modal method, based on the principle of structural modal superposition, can describe the overall deformation characteristics of the structure with only a limited number of modes, offering advantages such as high computational efficiency and ease of full-field deformation reconstruction.

[0033] This application embodiment is based on the modal superposition method. Based on the strain data of a limited number of measuring points, the modal coordinate vector is solved. By combining the displacement mode and the internal force mode, a high-precision reconstruction of the large deformation of the entire structure and the distribution of its internal loads is achieved.

[0034] The technical solution adopted by the embodiments of this application to solve its technical problem includes the following steps: Step 1: Calculate initialization.

[0035] A finite element model of the structure is established, the model is meshed, element properties and material characteristics are assigned to each element of the finite element mesh, and the boundary conditions required for the calculation are set. In finite element analysis (FEA), boundary conditions (BCs) are constraints or loads applied to the model to define the interaction between the structure and the external environment, ensuring the physical meaning and mathematical convergence of the computational problem. They are crucial for simulating real-world working conditions and directly affect the accuracy and reliability of the analysis results.

[0036] Step 2: Modal analysis.

[0037] Modal analysis of the structure was performed using the SOL103 solver on the MSC.Nastran platform to extract various modal information, including strain modes, displacement modes, nodal force modes, and nodal moment modes.

[0038] Among them, strain modes are used to describe the strain distribution characteristics of the structure under each mode, displacement modes are used to describe the displacement distribution characteristics of the structure under each mode, and nodal force modes and nodal moment modes are used to describe the equivalent internal forces and moments generated at the nodes of the structure under load excitation.

[0039] Step 3: Calculate structural displacements The strain and displacement modes of the structure are extracted using the modal analysis module of the finite element method software. Based on the principle of modal superposition, the strain column vectors within the element are then analyzed. It can be expressed as the following formula (1): (1); in, For the nth strain mode, This is the modal coordinate vector.

[0042] Step 4: Calculate the resultant force of the cross section.
