Abstract

Accurately evaluating the damage state of turbine blades is of great significance for guiding their overhaul / replacement behavior. However, due to the complexity of turbine blade structure and service environment, it is difficult for existing technical means to simulate the blade damage under real service conditions, and the damage prediction based on the damage data of real service blades has the objective limitation of high data acquisition cost and few samples. Therefore, a damage parameter prediction method based on meta-learning is proposed to evaluate the damage state of turbine blades in service under small sample conditions. Based on the limited service data, the damage parameters of turbine blades are predicted. Firstly, the slice samples of different blade heights of turbine blades were prepared, and the microscopic images of typical parts of the slice samples were obtained by field emission scanning electron microscopy. The image processing technology was used to extract the damage data of different parts, and the damage data were divided into different training task data according to the different parts of the picture. Then, a prediction method of turbine blade damage parameters based on MAML-LSTM is proposed. Meta-learning is carried out on the basis of different training tasks, which enhances the correlation between service conditions and blade damage parameters, establishes an effective mapping between service parameters and damage parameters, and realizes the prediction of turbine blade damage parameters. Finally, the MAML-LSTM model proposed in this paper is used to predict the test set data. The average absolute percentage error of the prediction results is 7.55%. Compared with the prediction results of BP, RNN, LSTM, Bi-LSTM and other neural networks, the average absolute error of the model proposed in this paper on the test set is reduced by at least 52.37%, and the mean square error is reduced by at least 76.98%.
