Research on the Parameters Reconstruction Method of Pipe Structures Based on Intelligent Optimization Algorithms

Two reconstruction methods for constraint and load parameters of aero-engine pipelines based on intelligent optimization algorithms are proposed in this paper. First, a simplified finite element model (FEM) of the aero-engine pipeline structure is established, and its reliability is validated by comparing simulation data with experimental data. Second, a reconstruction algorithm for spring constraint parameters and pipeline load parameters based on the improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) algorithm is developed on the MATLAB data analysis and ANSYS simulation platforms, which completes the reconstruction calculation of parameters such as spring constraint stiffness and applied harmonic excitation. For harmonic excitation parameter reconstruction, the maximum error of this algorithm reaches 24.9%, revealing its significant inapplicability to load parameter reconstruction. To solve this problem, a load reconstruction method based on the conjugate gradient method (CGM) is further proposed to achieve accurate reconstruction of pipeline load parameters, which mitigates the large reconstruction error of the IPSO algorithm under working conditions with multiple loads. Under 5% noise interference, the maximum error of the CGM is merely 5.16%. Finally, experimental verification of harmonic excitation amplitude reconstruction is performed using the CGM with lower reconstruction errors. Experimental results indicate that the maximum error is 14.24% for harmonic excitation amplitude reconstruction, which verifies the high applicability of the conjugate gradient algorithm to load reconstruction of aero-engine pipelines.
