Application of convolutional neural network in static calibration of wind tunnel balance
As the most important measuring device in aerodynamic testing
the wind tunnel balance is used to measure the magnitude
direction
and point of the aerodynamic loads (forces and moments) acting on the test model. The accuracy of the measurement is directly related to the static calibration of the wind tunnel balance
which establishes the mapping relationship between the balance output signals and aerodynamic loads on the calibration equipment. This paper explores the possibility of improving the calibration performance of the strain-gauge balance in the calibration system AiBCS
developed by Institute of Mechanics of Chinese Academy of Science
using the convolutional neural network (CNN). The applicable conditions
validity
and reliability of CNN in the balance calibration are discussed and evaluated. Results obtained by the CNN-based calibration method and the traditional polynomial fitting method are analyzed and compared. It turns out that the CNN-based calibration method can effectively reduce the load interference between various balance components
yielding a significantly improved performance. Consequently
the deep-learning technology shows great application potential in calibrating wind tunnel balance.
