Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aging-friendly testing technology, and in particular to a non-contact aging-friendly handrail safety evaluation method and system. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing aging of the population, the demand for age-friendly home renovations is surging. Handrails, as a critical safety feature, directly impact the safety of the elderly. Current testing technologies have the following prominent problems: 1. Uncertainty in boundary conditions leads to misjudgment. The vibration characteristics of a handrail structure depend not only on the damage state but are also significantly affected by boundary conditions such as material type, wall structure, and installation method. Under the same degree of damage, the natural frequencies of stainless steel handrails (E≈200GPa) and plastic handrails (E≈3GPa) may differ by 5-8 times; The effective stiffness of a solid wall support can differ from that of a lightweight partition wall support by more than 10 times. These boundary conditions lead to the risk of misjudging "similar frequencies but vastly different load-bearing capacities".
[0003] 2. The cost of building a full-combination calibration database is too high. Material type (4 types) × wall type (3 types) × installation method (3 types) × size range (3 types) × damage level (5 types) = 540 sets of basic calibration; Each group needs to undergo a static loading destructive test, with a cost of approximately 5,000 yuan per group and a total cost exceeding 2.7 million yuan. Furthermore, it is difficult to cover boundary conditions such as new materials and special walls.
[0004] 3. The contradiction between cost and reliability in purely automated identification The accuracy of recognition is affected by ambient light, surface stains, and background noise, and there is a risk of misjudgment; the algorithm is highly complex and has stringent requirements for edge computing units.

Multi-parameter fusion: Combining the three parameters f, ξ, and α, a weighted voting method is used to reduce the risk of misjudgment based on a single parameter.
[0012] Optionally, step S5: security level determination and result output specifically includes: Establish a three-tiered judgment standard; The output information includes: boundary condition confirmation, measured values of characteristic parameters, stiffness retention rate, estimated bearing capacity, safety level, and maintenance recommendations.

[0020] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] A safety evaluation method for age-friendly handrail structures based on the fusion of artificial boundary condition recognition and non-contact vibration detection includes the following steps: S1: Manual identification and input of boundary conditions Develop standardized on-site identification operating procedures to enable non-professionals to accurately determine boundary conditions: Material recognition: Based on multi-sensory fusion judgment (visual + tactile + auditory) Visual: Observe the color, luster, and texture (bright silver reflective stainless steel, matte plastic, and wood grain). Touch: Feel the surface temperature and hardness (metal is cool and hard, plastic is warm and soft). Auditory: Tap a coin lightly and listen to the pitch and duration. Wall recognition: Based on the knocking echo.
[0022] Solid wall: The sound is short and crisp, decaying completely in less than 0.1 seconds; Hollow wall: The sound is hollow and reverberates, decaying in 0.2-0.5 seconds; Lightweight walls: produce a hollow, muffled sound, and energy is quickly absorbed; Installation type identification: based on structural observation (counting the number and position of fixed ends, and feeling the strength of constraint by gently pushing). Geometric measurement: Use a measuring tape to measure the outer diameter and span, and classify them into three categories.
[0023] S2: Specific Subdatabase Matching Establish a hierarchical database structure with four-level indexes, such as... Figure 2 As shown.
[0024] Conservative strategy: When identification is uncertain, automatically select the most unfavorable combination (lowest elastic modulus material, lowest stiffness wall, most unfavorable installation method).
[0025] A method for constructing virtual calibration of hierarchical databases.
[0026] The hierarchical database of this invention does not require physical experiments and is constructed through a virtual calibration method of "public standards + literature data + statistical modeling". The specific steps are as follows: 1. Prior information extraction: Extract the statistical distribution of key parameters from publicly available technical standards (GB50009, JGJ145): Material parameters: Stainless steel E=200GPa, ρ=7850kg / m 3 ; Aluminum alloy E=70GPa, ρ=2700kg / m 3 ; Plastic E=3-5GPa, ρ=900-1200kg / m 3 Solid wood E=10-15GPa, ρ=500-700kg / m³ 3 .
[0027] Connection stiffness: For solid walls, expansion bolts k=106-107 N / m; for unreinforced hollow walls, k=10 4 -10 5 N / m; Wall stiffness: Solid concrete wall K_wall≈108N / m; Hollow partition wall K_wall≈106N / m; Masonry wall K_wall≈107N / m; Damping parameters: metal materials ξ=0.01-0.05; wood materials ξ=0.03-0.1; plastic materials ξ=0.05-0.12.
[0028] Virtual vibration response calculation: Using an Euler-Bernoulli beam model combined with spring boundary conditions, vibration characteristic parameters under different boundary conditions and damage states are calculated through analytical solutions or the finite element method. Calculation of moment of inertia of cross section Round tube handrail (outer diameter D, wall thickness t): Where I is the moment of inertia of the cross section, D is the outer diameter of the handrail, and t is the wall thickness of the square tube handrail (side length a, wall thickness t): Where 'a' is the side length of the square tube, and the other parameters are the same as those of the fixed beams at both ends of the circular tube (handrail span L): Parameter meanings: fn is the nth natural frequency, λn is the eigenvalue (λ1=4.730 when n=1, λ2=7.853 when n=2), E is the elastic modulus of the material, p is the material density, A is the cross-sectional area of the handrail, and L is the single span length of the handrail.
[0029] Cantilever beam (one end fixed, one end free): Parameter meaning: The characteristic value λn is different from that of the beam with fixed ends (λ1=1.875 when n=1, λ2=4.694 when n=2), while the other parameters are the same.
[0030] Consider frequency correction for loose connections: Parameter meanings: f'n is the natural frequency in the loose state, keff is the equivalent connection stiffness after loosening, k0 is the connection stiffness in the intact state, keff=k0.(1—δ) (δ is the loosening coefficient, 0<δ<1). Relationship between damping ratio ξ and vibration amplitude attenuation: Parameter meaning: δ=ln Let Ai be the logarithmic decay rate, Ai be the i-th vibration peak, Ai+m be the (i+m)-th vibration peak, and m be the number of peak intervals. Vibration amplitude decay rate α: Parameter meanings: α is the amplitude decay rate, wn=2πf is the angular frequency, and the other parameters are the same as before.
[0031] 3. Monte Carlo simulation to generate virtual samples: Randomly sample from the parameter space (E,ρ,I,L,k,K_wall) according to the prior distribution to generate N=10 virtual samples. 4 -10 5 A set of virtual samples is used to cover all combinations of boundary conditions and damage levels. The natural frequency f, damping ratio ξ, and amplitude decay rate α of each set of samples are calculated.
[0032] (1) Parameter random sampling formula Normal distribution parameters (such as elastic modulus E, density p): X = μ + σ.Z Where X is the sampled value, μ is the mean of the parameters, σ is the standard deviation, and Z is a standard normally distributed random number (Z~N). 0 1 Uniformly distributed parameters (such as connection stiffness k, loosening coefficient δ): X = a + (b - a).U Where a is the lower limit of the parameter, b is the upper limit of the parameter, and U is a uniformly distributed random number (U~U0). 0 1 ).
[0033] (2) Sample validity screening formula Only samples that meet the actual engineering constraints are retained. Among them, F ult The minimum load-bearing capacity of the handrail is no less than 1.5kN, which is the ultimate load-bearing capacity of the handrail.
[0034] t-distribution fitting statistical characteristics: For each of the five damage levels of the boundary condition combination, the vibration parameter distribution of the virtual sample is fitted with a t-distribution to obtain the mean, standard deviation, and degrees of freedom of f, ξ, and α at each level, which are used as calibration data for the leaf nodes.
[0035] t-distribution probability density function Where x represents the vibration parameters (natural frequency f, damping ratio ξ, decay rate α), v represents the degrees of freedom (v = n - 1, where n is the number of valid samples at this level), and Γ . This is a gamma function.
[0036] (2) Estimation formula for distribution parameters Mean (location parameter): in Here, xi represents the parameter mean estimate, xi is the parameter value of the i-th sample, and n is the sample size; standard deviation (scale parameter): Degrees of freedom: =n-1 (For small samples, n=30~50; for large samples, n>100, the t-distribution approximates a normal distribution) Bayesian theory update calibration: Using a small amount of experimental data from published literature as priors, the posterior distribution is updated through Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling to optimize the mapping relationship between stiffness retention rate and bearing capacity, ensuring the reliability of calibration data. Finally, the leaf nodes store the complete mapping of "damage level → [f,ξ,α] distribution parameters → stiffness retention rate → reference bearing capacity".
[0037] Bayes' formula Where p θ|D p is the posterior distribution (the updated parameter distribution). D|θ p is the likelihood function (the degree to which the experimental data D supports the parameter θ). θ Given the prior distribution (parameter distribution from publicly available standards / documents), p D As evidence (normalized constant) The likelihood function (Gaussian likelihood) assumes that the error between the experimental data and the model predictions follows a normal distribution. Where m is the number of experimental data sets, di is the measurement value of the i-th experimental set, and y θ σe is the model prediction value, and σe is the standard deviation of the measurement error (taken as the repeatability standard deviation of the experimental data).
[0038] (3) Stiffness-bearing capacity mapping update formula The mapping relationship between stiffness retention rate k and bearing capacity F is optimized based on the posterior distribution: Where Fest is the updated estimated bearing capacity, Fult,0 is the ultimate bearing capacity in good condition, and is the variance of the logarithm of the stiffness retention rate (reflecting uncertainty). The final leaf node stores a complete mapping of “damage level → t-distribution parameters (mean, standard deviation, degrees of freedom) of [f,ξ,α] → stiffness retention rate → reference bearing capacity”. All data are calculated using the above formulas, without the need for physical testing, and meet the technical requirements of existing scientific literature and domestic and international standards.

[0045] 2. Full burning process (first burning): Step 1: The software automatically detects the motherboard MCU model (STM32F407) and establishes a communication connection; Step 2: Erase the database storage partition (0x08080000-0x080FFFFF) in the built-in Flash memory. Step 3: Write the index table file (index.bin) to the specified address and automatically verify the write result; Step 4: Write the commonly used sub-library files (50 sets) to the remaining space in the built-in Flash memory; Step 5: Write the full quantum library file package to the SD card (the SD card can be pre-installed during mass production). Step 6: Write the version information file and mark the burning process as complete; Step 7: Restart the motherboard and automatically verify the integrity of the database. If the burning is successful, it will return "PASS".
