Prediction of fatigue crack propagation in metals based on IBAS-PF

Owing to particle leanness, the standard Particle Filter (PF) algorithm is prone to the problem of reduced prediction accuracy when predicting fatigue crack propagation. An improved particle filter algorithm based on the optimization algorithm of beetle antenna search (IBAS-PF) for fatigue crack propagation in metals is proposed in this paper. The discrete Paris formula was used to establish the state equation of fatigue crack propagation, in which the uncertainty of material and crack propagation process were considered. Meanwhile, the characteristics of Lamb wave signals under different crack lengths were extracted to establish the observation equation. The sampling process of the PF algorithm was optimized based on the beetle antennae search algorithm to improve the particle diversity and the prediction accuracy. Compared with the standard PF algorithm, the improved BASO-PF algorithm has higher accuracy for metal fatigue crack propagation, as well as better state estimation ability.
