Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of engineering structural health monitoring, specifically, it relates to a load identification and structural response reconstruction method based on denoising regularization. Background Technology
[0002] External loads and responses at various points on an engineering structure are key indicators for structural health monitoring. Missing response information at critical structural locations can affect the accuracy of the monitoring system. In reality, due to economic constraints and on-site installation limitations, obtaining comprehensive measurement data is difficult, and the external loads on the structure are also difficult to measure directly. Therefore, reconstructing and inverting the responses and external loads at locations where sensors are not installed or cannot be installed, based on limited measurement information, is of great significance.
[0003] To obtain the dynamic response of a structural target location, existing technologies mainly fall into three categories: modal analysis-based, transfer rate matrix-based, and filter-based structural response reconstruction methods. Among these, the transfer rate matrix-based method is the most widely used. Its basic idea is to reconstruct the dynamic response at the target location by establishing a transfer function between the known and unknown responses at the sensor's measurable location. However, all of these methods rely on the premise that the external load is known, while in reality, external loads are often difficult to obtain directly, and the identification of external loads based on the transfer rate matrix is included in the response reconstruction process. Therefore, both aspects should be considered comprehensively. During measurement, the uncertainty of the structural response significantly affects the inversion accuracy, and if the noise contained in the input response is too large, even with regularization methods, the identification results may still diverge significantly.
[0004] In summary, traditional reconstruction techniques suffer from the drawbacks of unknown or difficult-to-measure loads. Furthermore, the noise and uncertainty of the measured vibration response have a significant impact on the results, making it difficult to reconstruct stable external loads and even leading to divergence. Moreover, they cannot obtain accurate structural dynamic responses. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, a response reconstruction method is proposed that is highly effective and applicable, can effectively identify the uncertainty range of reconstructed loads and responses, and has a wide range of applications.
[0006] This invention provides a load identification and structural response reconstruction method based on denoising regularization, characterized by the following steps.
[0007] Step 1: Derive the structural dynamic response and external load reconstruction equations based on the state-space model.
[0008] Step 2: Wavelet transform thresholding method is introduced to denoise the measurement response.
[0009] Step 3: Use grey mathematics to perform interval estimation on the denoised measurement response to determine the interval median and radius of the response.
[0010] Step four: Use Tikhonov regularization to analyze the ill-posed problem in load identification, thereby inverting the estimation range of the external load.
[0011] Step 5: Use the dynamic response reconstruction equation to reconstruct the interval response of the structure.
[0012] Furthermore, in step one, deriving the structural dynamic response and external load reconstruction equations based on the state-space model includes the following steps.
[0013] (1) Establish a state-space model based on the equation of motion of the structure under external load and its observed response.
[0014] (2) Convert the established state-space model into a discrete-time model.
[0015] (3) The discrete state-space model is transferred to the transfer matrix, and the reconstructed equations of response and external load are constructed iteratively.
[0016] Furthermore, in step two, the wavelet transform thresholding method is introduced to denoise the measurement response, including the following steps.
[0017] (1) Arrange sensors and measure the vibration acceleration response of the structure.
[0018] (2) Perform wavelet transform on the noisy response to obtain wavelet decomposition coefficients, and set the wavelet coefficients caused by noise to zero.
[0019] (3) Perform inverse transform on the wavelet coefficients retained after processing to obtain the denoised vibration acceleration response.
[0020] Furthermore, in step three, the grey mathematical method is used to perform interval estimation on the denoised measurement response, and the midpoint and radius of the response interval are determined by the following steps.
[0021] (1) The gray mathematics method was used to statistically analyze the vibration acceleration response after denoising.
[0022] (2) Based on the mean and the standard deviation of uncertainty, the median and radius of the acceleration response interval are obtained.
[0023] Furthermore, in step four, the ill-posed problem in load identification is analyzed using Tikhonov regularization, thereby inverting the estimated range of the external load, which includes the following steps.
[0024] (1) The Tikhonov regularization is used to invert the interval median and radius of the load.
[0025] (2) Obtain the upper and lower limits of the load based on the median and radius of the load inversion interval.
[0026] Furthermore, in step five, the interval response reconstruction of the structure using the dynamic response reconstruction equation includes the following steps.
[0027] (1) The response reconstruction equation derived in step one is used to calculate the interval midpoint and radius of the response at the location to be reconstructed.
[0028] (2) Obtain the upper and lower bounds of the dynamic response at the location to be reconstructed based on the interval midpoint and radius of the response at the location to be reconstructed.
[0029] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages: First, this method improves inversion accuracy from two aspects: denoising the response data and regularization. On the one hand, it denoises the measured response to reduce the influence of high-frequency noise; on the other hand, it uses regularization to analyze the ill-conditioned nature of the transfer matrix and obtain a stable solution. Then, by combining interval analysis to consider the uncertainty of the measured response, it performs step-by-step inversion and reconstruction of the interval median and interval radius of the external load and the structural dynamic response.
