When limited by the number of available data samples, one may rely on dimensional reduction methods to proceed with a meaningful statistical and probabilistic analysis. In this work, some state-of-the-art dimensionality-reduction techniques were investigated as part of a simple ball-bearing damage detection problem. A variational auto-encoder (VAE) was compared to other methods, based on their capability to generate low-dimensional representations of the data. Unlike other common alternatives, such as principal component analysis (PCA) or auto-encoding (AE) networks, the VAE introduces a probabilistic framework via the latent embeddings. A well-defined distribution is thereby constructed on the latent variables, making the transformed dataset an optimal one for subsequent pattern recognition analysis. The results demonstrated an increase in classification performance given the low-dimensional representation generated by the VAE.","PeriodicalId":180083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114255689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Zandi","doi":"10.12783/shm2021/36323","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.12783/shm2021/36323","url":null,"abstract":"Environmental loads, such as wind and river flow, play an essential role in the structural design and structural assessment of long-span bridges. Climate change and extreme climatic events are threats to the reliability and safety of the transport network. This has led to a growing demand for digital twin models to investigate the resilience of bridges under extreme climate conditions. Kalix bridge, constructed over the Kalix river in Sweden in 1956, is used as a testbed in this context. The bridge structure, made of posttensioned concrete, consists of five spans, with the longest one being 94 m. In this study, aerodynamic characteristics and extreme values of numerical wind simulation such as surface pressure are obtained by using Spalart-Allmaras Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation (DDES) as a hybrid RANS-LES turbulence approach which is both practical and computationally efficient for near-wall mesh density imposed by the LES method. Surface wind pressure is obtained for three extreme climate scenarios, including extreme windy weather, extremely cold weather, and design value for a 3000-year return period. The result indicates significant differences in surface wind pressure due to time layers coming from transient wind flow simulation. In order to assess the structural performance under the critical wind scenario, the highest value of surface pressure for each scenario is considered. Also, a hydrodynamic study is conducted on the bridge pillars, in which the river flow is simulated using the VOF method, and the water movement process around the pillars is examined transiently and at different times. The surface pressure applied by the river flow with the highest recorded volumetric flow is calculated on each of the pier surfaces. In simulating the river flow, information and weather conditions recorded in the past periods have been used. The results show that the surface pressure at the time when the river flow hit the pillars is much higher than in subsequent times. This amount of pressure can be used as a critical load in fluid-structure interaction (FSI) calculations. Finally, for both sections, the wind surface pressure, the velocity field with respect to auxiliary probe lines, the water circumferential motion contours around the pillars, and the pressure diagram on them are reported in different timesteps.","PeriodicalId":180083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122908133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While ankle braces have been shown to be effective in prophylaxis of subsequent ankle sprains, current braces are either too stiff and affect normal gait or too flexible and provide insufficient support during high-intensity activities. In this study, we proposed an adaptive ankle brace design that employs dynamically variable stiffness components to provide minimum support under normal gait movements and maximum rigidity under large ranges of motion. To achieve these unique properties, a honeycomb geometry was designed and three dimensionally printed with thermoplastic polyurethane to exhibit nonlinear, strain-stiffening, elastic behavior. We conducted a series of tensile load tests on different honeycomb unit cell configurations. First, the influence of unit cell designs on their mechanical strength and force-strain profiles was characterized. Second, experimentally calibrated finite element models of individual components simulated the mechanical response of the geometry, which were then used to optimize the geometrical parameters of the honeycomb shape (i.e., ring size, length of lateral elements, and thickness). The results identified promising design parameters for these honeycomb geometries that could be used to realize next-generation adaptive ankle braces.","PeriodicalId":180083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127641550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the concealment of microcracks and the nonlinearity of concrete materials make it difficult to appropriately evaluate the size and extension state of microcracks inside the thermal damaged concrete. In this paper, broadband frequency excitation instead of traditional dual-frequency excitation is utilized to excite the thermal damaged concrete, and the generated ultrasonic modulated signal reflects the micro damage state. The concept of damage index (DI) based on the sideband peak count (SPC) is proposed to quantitatively describe the variation characteristics of modulated signals. The results show that the peak value of DI based on broadband frequency coupling of nonlinear ultrasonic modulation method reflects the generation and development of microcracks in thermal damaged concrete. The peak value of DI increases sensitively with the increasing of water-cement ratio, fine-coarse aggregate ratio, and the heating temperature. Meanwhile, the statistical relationships of the peak value of DI with the residual strength and the area ratio of microcracks in thermal damaged concrete are established respectively.","PeriodicalId":180083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133256390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vibration data collected from accelerometers has proven to be an effective tool to perform this type of monitoring. While some monitoring activities can occur autonomously, it is often necessary for humans to interact with the data to discern the need for additional evaluation. In large structures or those with a dense sensor deployment, continuously collected vibration data can quickly grow to massive scales. Consequently, the evaluation of structural performance is often limited by the ability of a system to efficiently process and present large volumes of data. To overcome this challenge, this paper presents a framework to process, store, and visualize data using open-source distributed computing technologies. The framework utilizes a publish-subscribe messaging queue deployed across multiple partitions to consume data in parallel, improving the rate of ingestion. Ingested data is stored in a structured format using a NoSQL database that provides high availability, scalability, and performance. The stored data acts as the source for webbased visualization. This setup provides a high degree of adaptability, allowing meaningful visualizations to be implemented for various forms of smart infrastructure monitoring tasks. The capabilities of the resultant human-infrastructure interface are demonstrated using Goodwin Hall, a five-story building instrumented with 225 hard-wired accelerometers. This case study showcases visualizations that enable users to perform real-time assessment of frequency domain features and efficiently identify notable excitation events during the building's history.","PeriodicalId":180083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring","volume":" 16","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132187480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Automated methods that detect structural damage can be invaluable for rapid inspections and faster recovery times. Deep neural networks (DNNs) have proven to be an effective means to classify damaged areas in images of structures but have limited generalizability due to the lack of large and diverse annotated datasets (e.g., variations in building properties like size, shape, color). Given a dataset of paired images of damaged and undamaged structures supervised deep learning methods could be employed, but such paired correspondences of images required for training are exceedingly difficult to acquire. Obtaining a variety of undamaged images, and a smaller set of damaged images is more viable. We present a novel application of deep learning for unpaired image-to-image translation between undamaged and damaged structures as a means of data augmentation to combat the lack of diverse data. Unpaired image-to-image translation is achieved using Cycle Consistent Adversarial Network (CCAN) architectures, which have the capability to translate images while retaining the geometric structure of an image. We explore the capability of the original CCAN architecture, and propose a new architecture for unpaired image-to-image translation (termed Eigen Integrated Generative Adversarial Network or EIGAN) that addresses shortcomings of the original architecture for our application. We create a new unpaired dataset to translate an image between domains of damaged and undamaged structures. The dataset created consists of a set of damaged and undamaged buildings from Mexico City affected by the 2017 Puebla earthquake. Qualitative and quantitative results of the various architectures are presented to better compare the quality of the translated images. A comparison is also done on the performance of DNNs trained to classify damaged structures using generated images. The results demonstrate that targeted image-to-image translation of undamaged to damaged structures is an effective means of data augmentation to improve network performance.","PeriodicalId":180083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134377205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To excite the part surface at a very wide frequency band in a very short time, Multiple Width Pulse Excitation (MWPE) signal was introduced. MPWE was used to excite the surface of the structure for the implementation of the Surface Response to Excitation (SuRE) method. A cross-shaped polymer part was fabricated additively for the identification of the hidden geometry of the infill. The part had four extensions with identical geometry but different internal designs. Two of the extensions had cross infills and the other two had square infills. For each type of infill, one extension had 1 mm and the other extension had 2 mm thick skin. The part was excited at the middle with WMPE excitation and the dynamic response was monitored at the end of each extension. The Short-Time Fast Fourier Transform (STFFT) was used for the analysis of the signal in the time-frequency domain. The two dimentional sum of the squares of the differences (2DSSD) was used for the classification of the signal. Compressive force and type of infill was identified accurately for all the test cases.","PeriodicalId":180083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring","volume":"194 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132280352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has significant impacts for the structural health monitoring community, as it has expanded the range of mechanics-driven problems that these methods can be employed on. In this work, we explore how 3D geometric measurements extracted from photogrammetric point clouds can be leveraged for structural analysis and measurement of structural deformations without physically contacting the target structure. Here we present a non-destructive evaluation technique for extracting and quantifying structural deformations as applied to a load test on a highway bridge in Delaware. The challenging nature of 3D point cloud data means that statistical methods must be employed to adequately evaluate the deformation field of the bridge. Overall, the results show a direct pathway from 3D imaging to fundamental mechanical analysis with measurements that capture the true deformation values typically within one standard deviation. These results are promising given that the mid-span deformation of the bridge for the given load test is on the scale of only a few millimeters. Future work for this method will also investigate using these results for updating finite element models.","PeriodicalId":180083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133762356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A common application field is to predict damage states of structural systems. Recently, Gaussian processes became very popular as they deliver credible intervals for the predicted states. However, one major disadvantage of Gaussian processes is that they assume a normal distribution. This is not justified when the relevant variables can only assume positive values, such as crack lengths or damage states. This paper presents a way to bypass this problem by using warped Gaussian processes: We (1) transform the data with a warping function, (2) apply Gaussian process regression in the latent space, and (3) transform the results back by using the inverse of the warping function. The method is applied to a crack growth example. The paper shows how to integrate prior knowledge into warped Gaussian processes in order to increase prediction accuracy and that warped Gaussian processes lead to better and more plausible results.","PeriodicalId":180083,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring","volume":"103 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133007883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
