Reconstruction of Wing Structure Deformation Based on Particle Swarm Optimization Ridge Regression

In this paper, a typical airfoil aluminum plate structure is taken as the research object. A structural deformation monitoring and reconstruction method, PSO-RR (particle swarm optimization-ridge regression) algorithm, is proposed. A variety of different complex load cases are applied to the airfoil structure, and the strain values at some specific positions of the structure are collected. The ridge regression algorithm is used to construct the theoretical model of the relationship between the strain and structural deformation. Then, the structural displacements with different load cases are monitored and reconstructed. To improve the precision, the PSO algorithm is used to optimize the ridge regression parameters and comparative analysis is carried out with the typical structural deformation reconstruction algorithm, such as the KO theoretical method. Results show that the PSO-RR predicts the deformation of complex wing structures under different kinds of complex load cases accurately. This method, which has high precision, does not depend on the specific structures and load cases.
