However, the soil-structure interaction (SSI) effects have not been considered in the parameter identification of structure with TMD yet, which influence the dynamic characteristics and seismic responses of structures. This paper aims at proposing a framework for identifying the physical parameters of soil-structure-TMD system. Firstly, the accelerated particle swarm optimization (APSO) algorithm is combined with the search space reduction (SSR) method. Then, the frequency response function and transmissibility function are adopted for output-input and input-only cases, respectively, and a simplified mechanical model for soil-structure-TMD system is employed. Next, the measured responses are used to identify the physical parameters of structure with TMD considering SSI effects. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed identification method is investigated, and the influences of frequency band and noise pollution on the identification performance are discussed. The results show that the proposed strategy can identify the system physical parameters accurately and quickly.

In contrast, utilizing smartphone data collected from vehicles as they traverse bridges offers an efficient and cost-effective alternative. This paper introduces a cutting-edge damage detection framework for indirect monitoring of bridge structures, leveraging a substantial volume of acceleration data collected from smartphones in vehicles passing over the bridge. Our innovative approach addresses the challenge of collecting and transmitting high-frequency data while preserving smartphone battery life and data plans through the integration of compressed sensing (CS) into the crowdsensing-based monitoring framework. CS employs random sampling and signal recovery from a significantly reduced number of samples compared to the requirements of the Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem. In the proposed framework, acceleration signals from vehicles are initially acquired using smartphone sensors, undergo compression, and are then transmitted for signal reconstruction. Subsequently, feature extraction and dimensionality reduction are performed using Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients and principal component analysis. Damage indexes are computed based on the dissimilarity between probability distribution functions utilizing the Wasserstein distance metric. The efficacy of the proposed methodology in bridge monitoring has been substantiated through the utilization of numerical models and a lab-scale bridge. Furthermore, the feasibility of implementing the framework in a real-world application has been investigated, leveraging the smartphone data from 102 vehicle trips on the Golden Gate Bridge. The results demonstrate that damage detection using the reconstructed signals obtained through compressed sensing achieves comparable performance to that obtained with the original data sampled at the Nyquist measurement sampling rate. However, it is observed that to retain severity information within the signals for accurate damage severity identification, the compression level should be limited to 20%. These findings affirm that compressed sensing significantly reduces the data collection requirements for crowdsensing-based monitoring applications, without compromising the accuracy of damage detection while preserving essential damage-sensitive information within the dataset.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":49471,"journal":{"name":"Structural Control & Health Monitoring","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2024/5436675","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140744104","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}

To address this problem, we propose a streamlined method inspired by the gust factor methodology widely used in conventional passive wind-resistant designs. This method estimates the maximum response and maximum control force without the need for numerical simulations.

Based on the constructed equivalent passive model and then propose a method to calculate the mean displacement and mean control force using only the static equilibrium of this model. Furthermore, we extend the conventional gust factor approach to active base isolation to estimate the maximum displacement and maximum control force for active base isolation without the need for numerical simulations. We validate our methods through a series of numerical examples, incorporating key parameters such as feedback gain, aspect ratio of building, return period of wind force, and stiffness of isolation. Numerical verifications show that the mean response and mean control force are estimated by the static equilibrium of the proposed equivalent passive model.
