[0070] Example 1

[0071] A method for identifying structural damage under wave excitation, comprising:

[0072] Acquiring dynamic response signals of the structure under wave excitation in an intact state and a current state of the structure, wherein the dynamic response signals are displacement, velocity or acceleration;

[0073] The dynamic response signal is decomposed based on the empirical mode decomposition method and the rigid body resonance theory solution, and the effective components of the dynamic response signal are extracted using the basis function statistical similarity method;

[0076] The difference in normalized high-order moment statistics between the intact state and the current state is used to determine whether there is damage at a certain point in the structure.

[0077] In some embodiments, the dynamic response signal is decomposed based on the empirical mode decomposition method and the rigid body resonance theory solution, and the effective components of the dynamic response signal are extracted using the basis function statistical similarity method, including:

[0078] Assume that the structure is divided into n units with n+1 nodes, φ jiis the vibration mode of the i-th order j-th unit of the structure, and the wave circular frequency is ω f , the wave force amplitude is f i , the theoretical solutions of displacement response, velocity response, and acceleration response of the jth unit of the structure under wave excitation are:

[0079] x j (t) = A j ·sin(ω f t-η j )

[0080]

[0081]

[0082] Where: t is the observation time, x j (t) is the displacement of the jth unit at time t, is the velocity of the jth unit at time t, is the acceleration of the jth unit at time t, A j is the structural unit amplitude, η j is the intermediate parameter; for A j and η j The calculation formula is:

[0085]

[0086] in is the stiffness in mode coordinates, is the damping in mode coordinates, is the intermediate parameter; is the circular frequency of the i-th unit structure, is the mass in vibration mode coordinates;

[0087] Due to the uniformity of the displacement, velocity and acceleration, they are unified as follows:

[0088] y j (t) = C j ·sin(ω f t-λ j )

[0089] where y j (t) is called the structural dynamic response signal, C j and λ j are all intermediate variables, and their formulas are:

[0090]

[0091] For the dynamic response signal y j According to the empirical mode decomposition method, there are:

[0094] According to the theoretical solution, the frequency of the dynamic response signal is the same as the wave excitation frequency. The basis function statistical similarity method is used to extract the effective components in the dynamic response signal. Let the basis function Base(τ):

[0095] Base(τ)=sin(ω f ·τ·Δt),τ=1,…,N.

[0096] Where Δt is the signal sampling interval, τ is the sampling point number, and N is the total number of sampling points;

[0097] Define the i-th eigenmode function of the j-th unit Pearson correlation coefficient with basis function

[0098]

[0099] Find the largest correlation coefficient As the effective component of the dynamic response signal under wave excitation

[0100]

[0101] in, is the value of i when the correlation coefficient is maximum.

[0102] The calculation method of the high-order moment statistics of the effective components of the dynamic response signal includes:

[0103] Based on the effective component of the dynamic response signal Calculate the signal statistical autocorrelation function R x (τ):

[0104]

[0106] Based on Rx (τ), calculate the high-order moment statistics of the effective components of the dynamic response signal

[0107]

[0108] in is the fourth-order autocorrelation function of the effective component of the dynamic response signal.

[0109] In some embodiments, normalizing the higher-order moment statistics includes:

[0110]

[0111] in is the normalized higher-order moment statistic, is the fourth-order moment of the j-th unit, that is, the high-order moment statistic; is the average value of the fourth-order moments of all n units, is the fourth-order moment variance of all n units.

[0112] In some embodiments, determining whether a point on the structure is damaged by using the difference in normalized high-order moment statistics between the intact state and the current state includes:

[0113] Constructing the high-order moment damage index HMDI based on the high-order moment statistics of intact state and current state j :

[0114] in is the normalized high-order moment index of the undamaged j-th structural unit, is the normalized higher-order moment index of the j-th structural unit after damage; HMDI j The index describes the relative change of the fourth-order moment of the unit. When HMDI j = 0, the fourth-order moment of the jth unit does not change before and after damage; HMDI j The larger the value, the greater the change in the fourth-order moment of the unit. j The value determines whether the jth unit is a damaged unit.

[0115] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown in FIG, a structural damage identification method based on statistical high-order moments under wave excitation is used for pile foundation damage identification of high-pile piers. In this embodiment, the dynamic response signal is taken as an example of acceleration.

[0116] First, a high-pile pier model was made in the laboratory and placed in a wind-wave and current tank. Figure 1 、 Figure 2On the second pile on the left side of the front row, an acceleration sensor is arranged every 0.01m from top to bottom, for a total of 13 acceleration sensors, numbered 1, 2, ..., 13 from top to bottom. The sensor arrangement diagram is shown in Figure 3 , the sensor pickup direction is perpendicular to the front direction of the dock. Figure 4 The damage length is set to 0.01m, and the damage width and test conditions are as follows: the damage width is set to 4mm for 5% damage; 9mm for 10% damage; 17mm for 20% damage; and 24mm for 30% damage.

[0117] Regular wave excitation is used with a wave period of 1s, a water depth of 1m, and a wave height of 0.1m to collect the acceleration response before and after pile damage.

[0118] The identification method specifically includes the following steps:

[0119] Step 1: Obtain the acceleration responses of the structure in its current state and intact state.

[0120] Use DH5920 vibration pickup to obtain its acceleration response signal, such as Figure 7 shown.

[0121] Step 2: Decompose the dynamic response signal based on the empirical mode decomposition method and the rigid body resonance theory solution, and extract the effective components of the dynamic response signal using the basis function statistical similarity method. The wave period is 1s.

[0122] The effective amount is obtained as Figure 8 As shown:

[0123] Step 3: Calculate the high-order moment statistics of the effective components of the dynamic response signal in the intact state and the current state. Under different damage conditions, the HMDI j like Figure 9 shown.

[0124] After effective signal extraction, the HMDI index shows an obvious "peak" at node 6. This damage index can well identify local damage of the structure under regular wave excitation.

[0125] The present invention combines the analytical solution of dynamic response under wave excitation with the empirical mode decomposition method to extract the effective components of the dynamic signal under wave excitation. The constructed indicator has good sensitivity and can detect damage to high-pile piers in a timely, early and low-cost manner, proving that the method has good applicability.
