In our case, the softening zone is described by a discrete crack, which is considered as an ‘excluded’ finite element point, i.e., the deformation quantities in the crack are considered separately from the deformation quantities of the element. They are connected to the element only through kinematic quantities, used to describe the crack opening. The criterion for crack initiation is defined as the limit axial-bending resistance of the cross-section. The advantage of the presented model is that it is not necessary to define cracks or softening zones in advance and that the solution is mesh-independent in the sense that no further densification of the mesh is needed purely on account of capturing material softening. The accuracy and efficiency of the presented finite element family is illustrated by the example of a clamped–simply supported concrete beam and a portal concrete frame. The examples demonstrate that even with a minimum number of finite elements of suitable accuracy, sufficiently accurate results are obtained for normal engineering practice.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50626,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Structures","volume":"301 ","pages":"Article 107442"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141483441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pretension design plays an important role for mesh reflector antennas in achieving high surface accuracy, and different levels of pretension also affect the antenna’s creep behavior in the time dimension, which can be actively utilized to improve stability of the antenna surface accuracy. In this paper, we present an anti-creep pretension determination method for mesh reflector antennas to improve the surface accuracy stability. The creep model in the discretized time domain is adopted to describe the cable creep behavior. The time-related nonlinear equilibrium equation of the mesh reflector antenna is established with the force density method. The time-related tangent stiffness matrix is derived and adopted to solve the nonlinear equilibrium equation by the Newton-Raphson method, providing an effective way to analyze the antenna creep phenomenon in the discretized time domain. Aiming to minimize the long-term peak value of the time-variant surface error, the pretension schemes are generated and optimized. Finally, this approach is effectively applied to a thirty-unit mesh reflector antenna and its feasibility and effectiveness are verified.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50626,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Structures","volume":"301 ","pages":"Article 107460"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141483412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using each hanger as a positional reference, this method employs an instrumented vehicle as a mobile scanner to indirectly acquire vibration data from the traversed bridge deck. The hybrid approach integrates vehicle-bridge interaction (VBI) dynamics, vehicle scanning method (VSM), and moving windowed Fourier transform (mw-FT) technique to generate time–frequency spectrograms from the collected signals. In this representation, the time axis indicates the duration of the inspection vehicle traversing the bridge deck. By analysing frequency shifts within the spectrogram, we can identify damaged hangers through observed variations in frequency content over time.

The results show that the proposed neural network model outperforms the existing standard models in terms of prediction accuracy.
