Research on Data-Driven Intelligent Monitoring and Prediction System for Fatigue Damage in Metallurgical Cranes

Metallurgical cranes have a high risk of structural fatigue damage and failure under complex working conditions such as high temperature, heavy load, and strong electromagnetic interference. This article proposes a data-driven structural fatigue damage health monitoring system. This system integrates fiber Bragg grating sensing technology, rigid flexible coupling multi-body dynamics simulation, and big data analysis methods to construct a sensor optimization layout strategy based on rigid flexible coupling virtual prototype simulation, achieving real-time perception of stress states in key parts such as the mid span and end beam corners of the main beam. Develop a visualization system that integrates health monitoring, damage diagnosis, and life prediction. This system can dynamically evaluate the structural health status of metallurgical cranes and predict the remaining life of the structure based on a nonlinear cumulative damage model. On site engineering applications have shown that the monitoring and prediction visualization system can effectively improve the intelligent and safe operation and maintenance level of metallurgical cranes, providing a data foundation and possibility for their predictive maintenance.
