Abstract

The problem of placing sensors plays a significant role in the domains of structural health monitoring (SHM) applications and parameter estimation in structural dynamics. In this paper, the particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithm is introduced firstly and utilised to place sensors optimally on a truss structure for the purpose of modal identification. Then, two different types of fitness functions are constructed as to be the optimal criteria, which are based on modal assurance criterion (MAC) and maximising measures of the observability gramian matrix, respectively. The former one is mainly used to distinguish between two sets of mode shapes with the aim of maximising the off-diagonal elements in MAC matrix, and the latter one ensures proper observability of the structure. Finally, a truss structure model is considered as an example to demonstrate the efficiency and validity of the proposed method. Numerical results show that the two approaches using the PSO algorithm can find the optimal location of sensors successfully and identify the modal frequencies of the truss structure accurately by acceleration FRF method.

基于粒子群优化算法的特拉斯结构传感器优化布置

传感器的放置问题在结构健康监测（SHM）应用和结构动力学参数估计领域发挥着重要作用。本文首先介绍了粒子群优化算法（PSO），并将其应用于特拉斯结构上传感器的优化布置，以实现模态识别。然后，构造了两种不同类型的适应度函数作为最优准则，它们分别基于模态保证准则（MAC）和可观察性gramian矩阵的最大化测度。前者主要用于区分两组振型，目的是最大化MAC矩阵中的非对角元素，而后者确保结构的适当可观察性。最后以特拉斯结构模型为例验证了该方法的有效性和有效性。数值计算结果表明，采用PSO算法的两种方法可以成功地找到传感器的最佳位置，并通过加速度FRF方法准确地识别特拉斯结构的模态频率。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration (IJAV) is the refereed open-access journal of the International Institute of Acoustics and Vibration (IIAV). The IIAV is a non-profit international scientific society founded in 1995. The primary objective of the Institute is to advance the science of acoustics and vibration by creating an international organization that is responsive to the needs of scientists and engineers concerned with acoustics and vibration problems all around the world. Manuscripts of articles, technical notes and letters-to-the-editor should be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief via the on-line submission system. Authors wishing to submit an article need to log in on the IJAV website first. Users logged into the website are able to submit new articles, track the status of their articles already submitted, upload revised articles, responses and/or rebuttals to reviewers, figures, biographies, photographs, copyright transfer agreements, and send comments to the editor. Each time the status of an article submitted changes, the author will also be notified automatically by email. IIAV members (in good standing for at least six months) can publish in IJAV free of charge and their papers will be displayed on-line immediately after they have been edited and laid-out. Non-IIAV members will be required to pay a mandatory Article Processing Charge (APC) of $200 USD if the manuscript is accepted for publication after review. The APC fee allows IIAV to make your research freely available to all readers using the Open Access model. In addition, Non-IIAV members who pay an extra voluntary publication fee (EVPF) of $500 USD will be granted expedited publication in the IJAV Journal and their papers can be displayed on the Internet after acceptance. If the $200 USD (APC) publication fee is not honored, papers will not be published. Authors who do not pay the voluntary fixed fee of $500 USD will have their papers published but there may be a considerable delay. The English text of the papers must be of high quality. If the text submitted is of low quality the manuscript will be more than likely rejected. For authors whose first language is not English, we recommend having their manuscripts reviewed and edited prior to submission by a native English speaker with scientific expertise. There are many commercial editing services which can provide this service at a cost to the authors.
