Although direct nonlinear optimization can yield rigorous solutions for individual feasible designs, repeated case-by-case optimization becomes computationally expensive in topology-level exploration, where numerous candidate structures must be evaluated and infeasible layouts or poor initial guesses often lead to failed or slow convergence. To address this challenge, the proposed framework reformulates repeated nonlinear optimization as a reusable graph-to-design learning problem that directly maps candidate structural graphs to preliminary prestress and member-level sectional designs. Variable-size graph modeling enables a unified network to accommodate different structural configurations. A feasibility screening network first evaluates candidate structures, after which the design network predicts prestress levels and member-level cross-sectional variables. An auxiliary displacement network estimates structural responses under multiple load cases, enabling a differentiable mechanics evaluator to quantify engineering-constraint violations. These violations are incorporated into augmented-Lagrangian physics losses and backpropagated to guide the design network toward lightweight and mechanically admissible solutions. Numerical studies on a planar photovoltaic cable truss and a spatial Levy cable dome demonstrate the accuracy, physical consistency, and computational efficiency of the proposed method for topology-level design exploration.","PeriodicalId":156,"journal":{"name":"Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.775,"publicationDate":"2026-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148884451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Gabor wavelet is one of the earliest and most widely used phase extraction methods for phase-based displacement measurement. When Gabor wavelets are used for phase extraction, measurement performance is highly sensitive to the center frequency, while its selection in most previous studies relies on comparison with ground truth. To overcome this limitation, this study proposes a motion-region-based center frequency optimization method for Gabor wavelets in phase-based displacement measurement. Numerical experiments on numerical videos with different target motion characteristics show that the optimal center frequency varies systematically with these characteristics. In particular, the results reveal a clear relationship between the optimal center frequency and the target motion region, with larger motion regions generally requiring lower center frequencies for accurate displacement measurement. Based on this finding and the physical interpretation of the Gabor wavelet, a physics-inspired relationship between the optimal center frequency and the motion region is established, and an iterative center frequency optimization method is developed accordingly. The proposed optimization method is validated through a laboratory shaker test and an outdoor seismic response measurement of a cold-formed steel wall structure.","PeriodicalId":156,"journal":{"name":"Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.775,"publicationDate":"2026-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148884454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, due to the inherently low sampling frequency of the system, it is difficult to capture the high-frequency dynamic strain responses of bridges under complex operational environments. To address this hardware bottleneck, a hybrid-driven method based on dynamic and static responses for dynamic girder strain reconstruction of long-span suspension bridges is proposed. First, a joint state estimation framework based on variational mode decomposition (VMD) and a Kalman filter is established. This framework utilizes high-frequency acceleration as a dynamic prior while treating low-frequency deflection measurements as absolute constraints, effectively resolving the persistent issue of low-frequency drift caused by uncertain initial conditions in double integration. Second, a multi-task BP neural network is introduced to decode the complex, non-linear spatiotemporal mapping between global girder deflection and localized strain fields, thereby mapping the reconstructed dynamic deflection field to high-frequency dynamic strains at multiple cross-sections of the entire bridge.. The proposed method is validated using numerical simulation and actual monitoring data of a long-span suspension bridge. Results demonstrate that compared to conventional identification methods relying solely on acceleration integration, the proposed approach reduces the maximum root-mean-square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) of the reconstructed dynamic strains by up to 50% and 51%, respectively. Furthermore, under Gaussian white noise interference as high as 15%, the method still maintains highly consistent strain reconstruction trends, demonstrating excellent noise robustness.","PeriodicalId":156,"journal":{"name":"Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.775,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148884903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
