A Displacement Field Perception Method for Component Digital Twin in Aircraft Assembly

Abstract

Full-field displacement perception and digital twins for core components play a crucial role in the precision manufacturing industry, such as aviation manufacturing. This paper presents a real-time full-field displacement perception method for the combination of online multipoint displacement monitoring and matrix completion theory. Firstly, a conceptual full-field displacement perception model based on the observed information of the multi-points is established. To obtain the full-field displacements of a core component, the component is divided into plentiful discrete points, including observed and unobserved points, based on which the relationship between the observed points and the full-field displacements is established. Then, the solution method of the full-field displacement perception model is proposed. Based on the matrix completion principle and the big data of the simulation, the optimization problem is employed to work out the model and, meanwhile, the pseudo-code is put forward. Finally, the full-field displacement perception experiments are performed. Repeated experiments show that the max error of the displacements calculated by the proposed method can be less than 0.094 mm and the median error can be less than 0.054 mm, while the average time frame can be less than 0.48 s, which is promising considering the high precision and efficiency requirements of the assembly of large aircraft.
