Specific noise reduction techniques tailored to SHM signals are developed to tackle this issue. Gaussian smoothing proves effective in reducing noise and enhancing signal features, thereby facilitating the identification of damage-related information. Optimization algorithms play a crucial role in damage detection, especially when integrated with smoothing and fusion techniques, as they provide optimal solutions to SHM challenges. A model-updating-based optimization algorithm is proposed for detecting damage in structures using condensed frequency response functions (CFRFs), even in the presence of various types of noise and measurement errors. The CFRF signals are first smoothed using an optimized Gaussian smoothing technique as part of the proposed method. Then, the proposed methodology integrates diverse smoothed signals using a raw data fusion approach, including those from different excitations, frequency ranges, and sensor placements. Fused smoothed signals are then fed into a new objective function, incorporating mutual information (MI) and Gaussian smoothing to mitigate correlated coloured noise. The proposed objective function also introduces a hyperparameter tuning of Gaussian smoothing to enhance its performance. Optimization via the improved reptile search algorithm (IRSA) updates the objective function, optimizing damage and smoothing parameters. The hybrid method detects damage in numerical composite laminated plates with different layers and boundary conditions, demonstrating its effectiveness as an SHM technique. Comparative evaluations of other state-of-the-art methods show that the proposed method outperforms its counterparts, making it a promising damage detection approach to address the noise challenge in the SHM field.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":49471,"journal":{"name":"Structural Control & Health Monitoring","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2024/8925127","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141315356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This approach provides a more efficient and cost-effective solution compared to traditional condition monitoring techniques relying on physical inspections, which can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. The use of vibration data enables the identification of subtle changes in a wind turbine’s operating condition, providing early warning signs of potential issues. When the vibration data are analyzed, changes in frequency and amplitude can be detected, indicating the presence of a developing fault. Vibration-based condition monitoring systems (CMS) have already been widely used in the wind industry (mainly in new turbines). These systems utilize basic standard features, working in either the time or frequency domain, and are not optimized for nonstationary signals. In contrast, this work focuses on MFCCs, operating in both time and frequency domains, enabling the extraction of adequate information from nonstationary signals. The MFCCs are derived from vibration data signals, providing a compact representation for a more efficient analysis. These coefficients create a fingerprint of the wind turbine operating condition, compared to known healthy conditions, to identify anomalies. To underscore the practical value of this study, it is important to highlight the significant implications for the wind energy sector. The methodology developed offers an advanced, predictive tool for the early detection of gearbox faults, which is a critical aspect of optimizing the performance and longevity of wind turbines. By enabling earlier, more accurate fault detection, the proposed approach significantly reduces the likelihood of catastrophic failures and extensive downtime. This not only enhances the reliability and cost-effectiveness of wind energy systems but also contributes to sustainable energy practices by optimizing resource use and minimizing maintenance costs. The results strongly suggest that the proposed methodology is highly effective in detecting incipient faults in the wind turbine gearbox. By providing early warnings of damage, operators can address issues before significant downtime or damage occurs. The use of MFCCs offers additional benefits since data can be collected remotely, eliminating physical inspections. Analysis can be performed faster, even in real time, allowing more frequent monitoring. This provides a more complete and accurate picture of the health of the system. The approach is tested in the EISLAB dataset concerning vibration signals from six wind turbines in northern Sweden, all with three-stage gearboxes.

To investigate the full-scale wind-induced vibration of the long suspenders of a long-span suspension bridge with a main span of 1418 m, the long-term vibration-based monitoring system was established. Based on the recorded structural health monitoring (SHM) data, the corresponding wind conditions and the vibration characteristics of long suspenders with different diameters and tensions are investigated. Furthermore, modal parameters including frequencies and damping ratios of long suspenders are identified and tracked during the VIV period. The relationship between the shedding frequency of long suspenders and the corresponding wind speed is studied. Results show that the VIVs with frequencies ranging from 8 Hz to 20 Hz were observed continuously across a wide range of wind speeds in both sets of long suspenders. Due to the relatively low modal damping, significant vortex characteristics and lock-in phenomena can be expected on the long suspenders. A new frequency-adjustable Stockbridge damper is employed to suppress multimodal VIVs in the long suspenders. The effectiveness of Stockbridge damper is verified through field application and comparative analysis. Finally, the effect of long suspender VIVs on local deck vibration is discussed, and it is clarified that the bridge deck vibration is mainly caused by multimodal VIVs of the long suspenders, rather than by external loads such as vehicles and wind.

Emphasis is given to the dynamic identification of the two mechanical systems through Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA) on both the vehicle and the bridge. The EMA vehicle testing is among the main contributions of this paper, as such data become available in experimental iSHM implementations for the first time in the literature. Thus, new insights are brought on the vehicle’s dual role as a roving sensing unit and a vibrating mechanical system. A wireless sensor network is adopted that supports a dual monitoring system, i.e., an indirect system with accelerometers on the vehicle and a conventional system with fixed sensors on the bridge. Under a stationary vehicle’s position on the bridge, it is shown that a strong dynamic coupling occurs between the two systems due to their high mass ratio and the vehicle’s function as a Spring Mass Damper (SMD). In vehicle’s moving state, it is demonstrated that transfer of energy occurs between the vehicle and the bridge, which both oscillate under multiple modes of vibration that change over time. It is identified that four main parameters influence the quality of the extracted bridge natural frequencies from the vehicle-acquired data, i.e., (i) the filtering properties of the vehicle, (ii) the effective signals length in the presence of road discontinuities, (iii) the speed trade-offs, and (iv) the level of vehicle-induced bridge excitation and its transmissibility level.

The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based detection technology is widely used in bridge structure safety monitoring. However, the existing deep learning-based concrete crack identification method has great limitations in dealing with complex background and tiny cracks in bridge structures. To address these problems, this study designs a crack pixel-level high-performance segmentation model for bridge concrete cracks that is suitable for UAV detection scenarios using machine vision (MV) and deep learning (DL) algorithms. First, considering the high requirements for the computing performance of the MV-based model for UAV-based detection, the ResNet-18-based lightweight convolutional neural network is used to represent the traditional large-scale backbone network of the pyramid scene parsing network (PSPNet) to develop a high-performance crack automatic identification model. Then, considering that bridge concrete cracks have the characteristics of subtle shapes and complex backgrounds, the spatial position self-attention module is inserted into the PSPNet to improve its detection accuracy. A concrete bridge is used for the case study, and a dataset of cracks in bridge concrete structures collected by UAVs is constructed and used for model training. The experimental results show that the loss function of the developed method in the training process results in a smooth decline, and the developed algorithm achieves the evaluation indicators of 0.9008 precision, 0.8750 recall, 0.8820 accuracy, and 0.9012 IOU on the bridge concrete crack dataset, which are significantly higher than other state-of-the-art baseline methods. In addition, four common UAV bridge detection scenarios, including low light, complex crack forms, high background roughness, and complex background scenes, are used to further test the crack detection ability of the developed crack identification model. The experimental results show that the proposed crack identification method can effectively overcome interference and real-size pixel-level segmentation of crack morphology.
