A method for model sealing performance degradation stochastic model of
underwater connector features that that sealing
contact strength is taken as the characterize quantity of sealing performance, and a connector sealing performance heat-
solid finite
element analysis parameterized model is established, the connector sealing performance is analyzed, the initial time t1 connector sealing performance quantification index is acquired; Secondly, according to the actual condition of the connector, the
corrosion rate prediction model is used to predict the
corrosion rate of the upper hub, the seal and the lower hub of the connector, so as to obtain the
corrosion amount of the above-mentioned structure and the specific size of each structure after corrosion, structural parameter updating is performed on the connector sealing performance heat-
solid finite
element analysis parameterized model, and the sealing
performance index fs2 of the connector at time t2 is calculated again. Thirdly, by using the same method, the connector sealing performance indexes corresponding at any time t3 and t4 are obtained as fs3 and fs4, respectively. At last, consider that randomness and irreversibility of the deterioration of the sealing performance of the connector, Gamma stochastic process is selected to describe the mechanism of seal performance degradation. The characteristic parameters of Gamma stochastic process are estimated by using the connector seal performance indexes fs1, fs2, fs3 and fs4 at different times, and the connector seal performance degradation stochastic model based on Gamma process is obtained.
