Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of bridge digital monitoring technology, specifically to a method, device, and electronic equipment for predicting the lifespan of bridges under aircraft loads. Background Technology
[0002] Aircraft load bridges are crucial transportation infrastructure within airports and vital structures for the safe operation of flight zones; their functionality and safety are paramount. Unlike ordinary highway bridges, taxiway bridges bear the world's heaviest traffic loads—aircraft. Aircraft can weigh hundreds of tons, and their load is transferred to the bridge deck through complex landing gear wheel assemblies. This load is characterized by "high total weight, high wheel pressure, dense wheel assembly, and concentrated action," posing an extremely severe fatigue test to the bridge structure, especially the bridge deck and local supporting components. Therefore, accurate fatigue damage assessment and life prediction of aircraft load bridge structures are essential prerequisites for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of airports.
[0003] The core of fatigue damage assessment and life prediction is accurately obtaining the stress history of a structure under cyclic loading. For aircraft load bridges, this stress history is entirely determined by aircraft takeoff, landing, and taxiing events. An aircraft landing gear system typically consists of multiple wheel sets (e.g., including four main landing gears, for a total of 16 main wheels), with very small tire spacing within each wheel set. When an aircraft taxis over the bridge, these dense wheel pressures generate a complex superimposed stress field within the bridge deck, which is the key and challenging aspect of taxiway bridge fatigue problems. Furthermore, the stress history of each aircraft load bridge is closely related to airport operational scheduling, exhibiting significant variability and distinct characteristics.
[0004] Existing methods typically employ the simplified load method to assess fatigue damage and predict the lifespan of aircraft-loaded bridges. This method simplifies the landing gear load into several concentrated forces with standard load values and spacing, based on a standard aircraft model provided by relevant design specifications. These forces are applied to the most unfavorable location on the structure for static analysis, and then multiplied by a fixed impact coefficient to account for dynamic effects. The fatigue damage and lifespan prediction are then based on these dynamic effects. However, this method uses a standardized design aircraft and a fixed impact coefficient, which fails to reflect the diverse aircraft types, varying takeoff weights, and actual taxiing conditions (speed, trajectory) encountered in real-world operations. It is only suitable for design verification; using it to assess cumulative fatigue damage under actual operational conditions will result in significant errors. Summary of the Invention

[0056] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0057] See Figure 1 This embodiment discloses a method for predicting the lifespan of a bridge under aircraft load, including:
[0058] Step S101: Obtain the finite element model of the bridge.
[0059] A high-precision finite element model of the bridge (aircraft-loaded bridge) is established based on various parameters (including bridge length, building material parameters, etc.), and the relevant physical parameters are stored in the digital twin bridge model.
[0060] Step S102: Based on the bridge strain data monitored by the sensor array when the aircraft skids over the bridge, update the finite element model of the bridge. The sensor array is located under the bridge.
[0061] In this scheme, a sensor array is deployed below the bridge deck along the aircraft's taxiing direction and the transverse direction. The sensor array consists of a matrix of strain sensors. When an aircraft taxis over the bridge, the bridge deforms, and this deformation is measured by the sensors in the array. In this embodiment, when an aircraft is detected taxiing over the bridge, the bridge strain data output by the sensor array is acquired. Simultaneously, a finite element model of the bridge is used to simulate the bridge strain data during the aircraft's passage, obtaining the simulated strain force. Based on the comparison between the bridge strain data output by the sensor array and the simulated strain force, the digital bridge structural parameters in the finite element model are corrected and updated.
[0062] Step S103: Obtain airport flight traffic forecast data.
[0063] Based on historical flight databases, airport flight traffic data is predicted for a certain period of time in the future, and is denoted as airport flight traffic prediction data. The historical flight database stores airport flight traffic data for various time periods, including at least data such as the type of aircraft taking off and landing, and passenger capacity.
[0064] Step S104: Determine the sequence of aircraft events within a preset time period based on the airport flight traffic prediction data. Each aircraft event includes aircraft information, trajectory information, tire contact force distribution, and taxiing speed.
[0065] In this step, based on the various aircraft events stored in the aircraft information and bridge strain information database, a sequence of aircraft events within a preset time period is randomly generated according to the airport flight traffic prediction data. Each aircraft event may include parameters such as aircraft information, trajectory information (the trajectory when taxiing on the bridge), tire ground contact distribution, and taxiing speed.
[0066] Step S105: Using the updated bridge finite element model, calculate the stress-time history of each aircraft skidding across the bridge within a preset time period based on the aircraft event sequence.
[0067] Using the updated finite element model of the bridge, the stress-time history of aircraft skidding across the bridge during each aircraft event in the aircraft event sequence is quickly calculated using the influence surface method. The formula is expressed as:
[0068]
[0069] Indicating an airplane incident, This indicates the updated digital bridge structural parameters. This represents the amplitude of the bridge's stress response at time t during an aircraft skidding across the bridge, as calculated by the bridge's finite element model.
[0070] Step S106: Decompose the stress-time history into Z types of individual closed stress cycles. Different closed stress cycles correspond to different bridge stress amplitudes. Z is the total number of closed stress cycles corresponding to aircraft events within a preset time period.
[0071] The stress-time history of all aircraft events within a preset time period is analyzed using the rainflow counting method. Based on the magnitude of the bridge stress amplitude monitored when each aircraft event taxis on the bridge, the stress-time history of the preset time period is decomposed into several individual closed stress cycles. Based on the decomposition results, the closed stress cycles are classified to obtain Z types of individual closed stress cycles (each aircraft event corresponds to one closed stress cycle, and one closed stress cycle can correspond to multiple aircraft events). In aircraft events corresponding to the same type of closed stress cycle, the bridge stress amplitude generated when the aircraft taxis over the bridge is the same. Then, the frequency of occurrence of this type of closed stress cycle within the preset time period is determined. For example, if the stress-time history includes Z types of closed stress cycles, the Z1 closed stress cycle appears once, the Z2 closed stress cycle appears twice, and the Z3 closed stress cycle appears three times.
[0072] Step S107: Obtain the damage value of the bridge for each closed stress cycle.
[0073] The amplitude of the stress response (stress monitored when the aircraft taxis over the bridge) based on each closed stress cycle. and their corresponding frequency of occurrence (The total number of aircraft events corresponding to the i-th type of closed stress cycle), where i represents the i-th type of closed stress cycle, and the equivalent stress amplitude is calculated using the following formula:
[0074]
[0075] in, The slope parameter of the SN curve for the material. This refers to the number of reference cycles within a single aircraft taxiing event.
[0076] The amplitude of the stress response for each closed stress cycle is determined. and their corresponding frequency of occurrence Subsequently, based on the preset amplitude With fatigue life The correspondence between them, and the acquisition of the stress response amplitude Corresponding fatigue life Based on this mapping relationship, the amplitude of each stress response is determined to be... Damage to bridges caused by aircraft skidding events due to closed stress cycles: 1 / Based on Corresponding frequency Determine the total damage to the bridge caused by this type of closed stress cycle within a preset time period: .
[0077] Step S108: Based on the damage values of all closed stress cycles to the bridge, calculate the damage to the bridge caused by the sequence of aircraft events within a preset time period.
[0078] Based on the predicted flight traffic data, the damage values to the bridge caused by all closed stress cycles within a preset time period are determined, and the damage values are linearly accumulated. ,when When the bridge reaches its fatigue limit, which is the predicted lifespan of the bridge, it can be accurately predicted to withstand aircraft loads.
[0079] In this scheme, when an aircraft is detected taxiing over an aircraft-loaded bridge, bridge strain data monitored by a sensor array is acquired. Based on the bridge strain data monitored by the sensor array, the bridge finite element model is corrected. Based on airport flight traffic prediction data, an aircraft event sequence within a preset time period is predicted and determined. Using the updated bridge finite element model, the stress-time history of the aircraft taxiing over the bridge within the preset time period is calculated based on the aircraft event sequence. The stress-time history is decomposed into Z individual closed stress cycles, and the damage value of each closed stress cycle to the bridge is calculated. Then, based on the damage value of all closed stress cycles to the bridge, the damage to the bridge caused by the aircraft event sequence within the preset time period is calculated. In this process, the bridge finite element model is continuously corrected based on the actual measurement results of the sensor array, so that the bridge finite element model has high-precision calculation results, thereby realizing accurate prediction of the life of the aircraft-loaded bridge.
[0080] This embodiment discloses a specific modification scheme for a bridge finite element model. For details, please refer to... Figure 2 Based on the bridge strain data monitored by the sensor array when the aircraft taxis over the bridge, the finite element model of the bridge is updated, including:
[0081] Step S201: When the target aircraft is detected to be skidding over the bridge, the bridge strain data is acquired through the sensor array and recorded as the measured bridge strain data.
[0082] In this step, when the target aircraft is detected to be skidding over the bridge, a set of real-time spatiotemporal strain response data is collected by the sensor array under the bridge. This response data is the bridge strain data, which is recorded as the measured bridge strain data in this scheme.
[0083] Step S202: Obtain the trajectory information of the target aircraft as it skids over the bridge;
[0084] By deploying wheel monitors or video cameras at the bridge entrances / exits as an aid, the trajectory information of the target aircraft as it taxis across the bridge can be obtained through the wheel monitors or video cameras.
[0085] Step S203: Match the measured bridge strain data and trajectory information with the bridge strain data stored in the aircraft information and bridge strain information database;
[0086] The aircraft information and bridge strain information database stores bridge strain data, trajectory information, and aircraft information of each target aircraft as it passes over the bridge.
[0087] Step S204: Obtain the aircraft information and taxiing trajectory matched with the measured bridge strain data.
[0088] In steps S203 and S204, the collected measured bridge strain data is used as a "fingerprint to be investigated." This "fingerprint to be investigated" is then matched against all standard fingerprints in the aircraft model fingerprint database (aircraft information and bridge strain information database) using a pattern matching algorithm (such as cross-correlation analysis, Euclidean distance, or a CNN classifier). The standard fingerprint with the highest matching degree is determined, along with the corresponding aircraft information (including aircraft model) and approximate taxiing trajectory. This information is then used as the aircraft model and initial trajectory for this aircraft event, matching the measured bridge strain data and trajectory information.
[0089] In this scheme, spatial distribution information is provided by a sensor array. Different aircraft have different wheel layouts, and the "footprints" (response fingerprints) they leave on the sensor array are highly distinguishable. Therefore, by matching the measured bridge strain data with the aircraft model fingerprint database, the information of the aircraft that skidded across the bridge can be identified. The content of the aircraft information can be set according to design requirements, and it includes at least the aircraft model.
[0090] Step S205: Use the aircraft information to simulate the finite element model of the bridge and calculate the simulated strain value at each sensor position in the sensor array.
[0091] In this step, after determining the aircraft information, the aircraft model is extracted based on the aircraft information, the aircraft parameters are determined based on the aircraft model, and the bridge finite element model is simulated based on the aircraft parameters. The simulation calculates the simulated strain value at each sensor position in the sensor array (i.e., the strain value generated at the sensor when a unit load is applied at any position (x,y) on the bridge deck).
[0092] Step S206: Compare the simulated strain value with the measured value of the sensor in the sensor array, and update the bridge finite element model.
[0093] The simulated strain values obtained from the simulation were compared with the measured strain data of the bridge, and an extended Kalman filter was used to organically fuse the two. Based on the fusion result, the finite element model of the bridge was updated, thereby realizing the dynamic correction of the bridge finite element model. Specifically:
[0094] The prediction steps are as follows:
[0095]
[0096]
[0097] The update steps are as follows:
[0098]
[0099]
[0100]
[0101] In the above formula, This represents the state vector composed of parameters in the finite element method, where This represents the state vector obtained from the last update. This represents the state vector predicted through finite element simulation. This is the updated current state vector; Let represent the covariance matrix of the finite element parameters, where The covariance matrix obtained from the last update. The predicted covariance matrix, This is the updated covariance matrix; Indicates Kalman gain; This is the covariance matrix of the process noise, used to quantify the covariance relationship between the deviation between the finite element model and the actual bridge behavior; The covariance matrix for measurement noise is used to represent the covariance relationship of noise in the strain sensor measurement data; This represents the strain data measured by the sensor; This represents the state transition process, i.e., the parameter changes obtained through finite element simulation; This refers to the observation process, specifically the bridge strain data obtained through finite element simulation. Represents the state transition process Jacobian matrix; Indicates the observation process The Jacobian matrix.
[0102] The iterative process provided by the above formula forms a feedback loop, enabling real-time correction of the physical parameters in the bridge finite element model. This ensures that the physical parameters in the bridge finite element model are consistent with the actual physical structure of the bridge, ultimately improving the accuracy of bridge damage status assessment and life prediction.
[0103] In this embodiment, a database of aircraft information and bridge strain information can be established using historically collected data. For details, see [link to documentation]. Figure 3 Before matching the measured bridge strain data and trajectory information with the bridge strain data stored in the aircraft information and bridge strain information database, the process further includes:
[0104] Step S301: Obtain bridge strain data and trajectory information when the target aircraft skids over the bridge. The target aircraft can be any type of aircraft that needs to be monitored and analyzed.
[0105] Step S302: Obtain the total weight of the target aircraft;
[0106] Step S303: Decompose the bridge strain data into the bridge's own strain data and the aircraft-excited strain data;
[0107] Step S304: Match the bridge's own strain data and the aircraft's excitation strain data with the target aircraft's aircraft information and store them in the aircraft information and bridge strain information database.
[0108] In the above process, each aircraft type required for data entry is designated as the target aircraft. For each target aircraft, bridge strain data generated by the sensor array and aircraft trajectory information collected by wheel monitors or video cameras are recorded as it taxis across the bridge. Simultaneously, information such as the aircraft's weight, passenger capacity, and fuel consumption are obtained through data querying and retrieval. The weight of the target aircraft is calculated based on this weight information. The obtained bridge strain data is then processed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) or an autoencoder to separate the bridge's inherent strain from the strain under aircraft excitation. The separated bridge strain data, along with corresponding aircraft information (including at least aircraft type, weight, and trajectory information), is stored in the aircraft information and bridge strain information database, forming a "response fingerprint database."
[0109] In this embodiment, when obtaining airport flight traffic prediction data, future flight information can be predicted based on flight information in the historical flight database to obtain airport flight traffic prediction data.
