TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bridge health monitoring, in particular to a method for restoring damping and modal of arbitrary support bridge based on left and right driving vehicles. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a key part of traffic infrastructure, the structural health monitoring of bridge is of great importance. Accurate acquisition of damping and modal parameters of bridge is of great significance for evaluating the working state of bridge, predicting potential diseases and ensuring the safe operation of bridge. In actual monitoring, the vibration response signals generated by the interaction between vehicle and bridge contain rich bridge structural information. With the increase of traffic flow and the growth of bridge service life, the traditional monitoring method has exposed many limitations in processing bridge vibration signals in complex environment.
[0003] The existing vehicle scanning method mainly focuses on modal identification of simply supported beam, and its theoretical premise depends on symmetric boundary conditions and uniform damping distribution. However, in actual engineering, bridges often have asymmetric support, complex geometric shape or heterogeneous material characteristics, resulting in significant asymmetry of structural response affected by damping attenuation. This asymmetry not only destroys the theoretical symmetry of the signal, but also greatly reduces the accuracy of traditional methods in extracting instantaneous amplitude and modal parameters, and even cannot be applied to complex support system of non simply supported beam.
[0004] When facing the bridge with asymmetric support or complex boundary conditions, the existing method often leads to the decline of modal feature extraction accuracy due to damping attenuation and asymmetric structural response. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a method that can be applied to arbitrary support bridge, effectively compensate the influence of damping attenuation, and accurately separate and analyze the modal information.

[0090] EMBODIMENT
[0091] Referring to Figures 1-3 The present application provides a method for restoring the damping and modal of any support bridge based on left and right driving vehicles, which comprises the following steps:
[0092] Step S1, a vehicle-bridge coupling mechanical model is established. Based on the different driving directions of the vehicles, the dynamic equations of the left and right driving vehicles are established respectively, and the complete coupling system is formed by combining the bridge vibration equation.
[0093] Step S2, the acceleration response of the left and right vehicle-bridge contact points is calculated, and the response inversion recursive formula of the left and right vehicle-bridge contact points is obtained.
[0094] Step S3, the main modal characteristics of the bridge are extracted, and the instantaneous amplitudes of each modal are separated.
[0095] Step S4, based on the left lane vehicle-bridge contact point instantaneous amplitude, construct the mixed signal, and then introduce the penalty term e αt To restore the symmetry of the mixed signal, where a is the optimization parameter, and a is denoted as a when the signal restores the complete symmetry * , solve the optimal parameter a * ;
[0096] Step S5, based on the optimal parameter a * , calculate the bridge damping ratio, compensate the instantaneous amplitude signal of each mode to eliminate the damping attenuation effect, and then normalize the amplitude to extract the mode shape without damping attenuation.
[0097] The method is further illustrated by the following embodiment:
[0098] In practical applications, it is not required that the left and right vehicles enter the bridge at the same time. As long as the operating speeds of the two vehicles are the same, the time axis can be aligned through data processing to achieve the required signal characteristic analysis.
[0099] A vehicle-bridge coupling dynamics model is constructed.
[0100] The interaction between the vehicle and the bridge can be described by an actual model and a physical model. Based on the different directions of vehicle travel, the dynamic equations of left and right traveling vehicles are established respectively, and combined with the bridge vibration equation to form a complete coupling system.
[0101] Left lane vehicle motion equation:
[0102]
[0103] Right lane vehicle motion equation:
[0104]
[0105] where the superscripts and represent the left and right lane vehicles, and represent the mass, damping coefficient and spring stiffness of the vehicle, or and are the first and second order derivatives of the relevant displacement with respect to time t, and represent the vertical acceleration of the left and right lane vehicles, and represent the vertical velocity of the left and right lane vehicles, and represent the left and right lane vehicle-bridge contact point velocity, and v represents the vehicle operating speed.
[0106] The bridge structure is described by the Euler-Bernoulli beam model, and its vibration equation can be expressed as:
[0107]
[0108] where m represents the unit length mass of the bridge, c is the damping coefficient of the bridge, EI is the bending stiffness of the bridge, u(x, t) is the vertical displacement of the bridge, and denote the first and second order derivatives of the relevant displacement with respect to time t, respectively, u””(x, t) is the fourth order derivative with respect to the longitudinal coordinate x, f c (x, t) is the external load borne by the bridge, and is related to the left and right moving vehicles.
[0109] f c (x, t) is determined by the sum of the forces of the left and right vehicles, and its expression is as follows:
[0110]
[0111] where δ(x) is the Dirac function, g is the acceleration of gravity, L is the length of the bridge, and v is the running speed of the vehicle.
[0112] Based on the Euler beam theory, the vertical displacement u(x, t) of the bridge can be expanded into a modal superposition form:
[0113]
[0114] where q n (t) represents the time evolution characteristics, and φ n (β n x) describes the spatial modal distribution, β n is the modal related parameter.
[0115] Substitute the vehicle-bridge coupling force term (equation (4)) and the bridge modal expansion (equation (5)) into the dynamic equation (equation (3)), and multiply the modal function φ p (β p x) on both sides of the equation, and then integrate over the interval [0, L]. By using the orthogonality of the mode shape functions, and assuming that the vertical acceleration of the vehicle is much smaller than the acceleration of gravity (i.e. ), the approximate differential equation of the modal coordinate q n (t) can be obtained:
[0116]
[0117] where F n (t) is the external load term, and its expression is:
[0118]
[0119] The equation consists of a homogeneous solution (the free vibration response of the bridge itself) and a particular solution (the forced vibration generated by external vehicle excitation). The particular solution can be denoted as P. n (β n The frequency of the modal response (vt) is consistent with that of the external load term. The homogeneous solution depends only on the modal characteristics of the bridge itself. After derivation, the final modal response is expressed as:
[0120]
[0121] In the formula, and The parameter that determines the magnitude of the sinusoidal and cosine vibration components in free vibration;
[0122] Based on modal expansion, the contact point responses of the left and right moving vehicles can be expressed as follows:
[0123]
[0124] in and For low-frequency components, the expression is:
[0125]
[0126] Furthermore, in formulas (9) and (10), the bridge frequency ω is involved. Dn In the item, φ n (β n vt) and φ n (β n L-β n vt) is a low-frequency envelope function, whose rate of change over time is much smaller than that of the main oscillation term sin(ωt). Dn t) and cos(ω) Dn The characteristic frequencies of t). In particular, according to research, β n v << ω Dn This indicates that the changes of these envelope functions are slow, and the magnitudes of their first and second derivatives are orders of magnitude smaller than the second derivative of the main oscillation term.
[0127] From the perspective of magnitude analysis, φ′ n (β n The magnitude of the contribution of vt) is approximately O(β). n v), and its second derivative φ” n (β n The magnitude of the contribution of vt) is approximately O(β). n vt) 2 Similarly, φ′ n (β n L-β n vt) and φ”n (β n L-β n vt) also exhibits the same variation characteristics. In contrast, the second derivative of the main oscillation term is on the order of O(ωt). Dn ) 2 And in β n v<<ω Dn Under the condition that, satisfy This indicates that the derivative term of the envelope function has a weak effect on acceleration and can be considered a higher-order small quantity compared to the dominant term, so it can be ignored in approximate calculations.
[0128] Ignoring minor terms, the acceleration in displacement formulas (9) and (10) can be approximated as follows:
[0129]
[0130] in, and It is determined by the following relationship:
[0131]
[0132] and Some of these components are mainly controlled by the driving frequency. Studies have shown that these components usually belong to the low-frequency dense region (below 0.5Hz), and have little impact on the main vibration modes of the bridge. Therefore, they can be removed by low-pass filtering.
[0133] Therefore, it can be seen that the main component of the contact point acceleration is the exponential decay term. And the main oscillation term sin(ω) Dn t) and cos(ω) Dn It consists of t), and the envelope function φ n (β n vt) and φ n (β n L-β n vt) modulates only the amplitude. Ignoring the first and second derivative terms of the envelope function is not only reasonable, but also effectively simplifies the calculation, making the expression clearer.
[0134] Furthermore, while the contact point response can be transmitted to the vehicle body, existing research has shown that the contact point response is more advantageous than the vehicle response in bridge modal parameter extraction. Therefore, this patent focuses on the contact point response, although the same method is still applicable to the extraction and analysis of vehicle body signals.
[0135] like Figure 3 As shown, the time-domain plot of the contact point acceleration of a left-hand vehicle is as follows. Figure 3 As shown in (a), the time-domain plot of the acceleration at the contact point of the right-hand vehicle is as follows:Figure 3 (b) shown. The contact point acceleration calculation method is as follows:
[0136] Taking the left vehicle contact point response as an example, first, the second derivative of the vertical vibration equation (1) of the vehicle is taken, and is rewritten as:
[0137]
[0138] Wherein, The central difference method can be used for calculation, and the expression is as follows:
[0139]
[0140] Wherein, i represents the sampling point, and Δt is the sampling interval.
[0141] Integrating formula (17) in the time interval [0, t], the acceleration response of the left contact point is obtained:
[0142]
[0143] After arrangement,
[0144]
[0145] Further, formula (10) is extended to And the recursive formula is arranged:
[0146]
[0147] The integral term is used to calculate the value between two sampling points, and a variety of integral methods can be used to solve, such as the left rectangle method, the right rectangle method, and higher precision trapezoidal method, Simpson method and Gauss quadrature method, etc. The trapezoidal integral method is selected in this patent example, and its specific form is as follows:
[0148]
[0149] Substituting formula (11) and simplifying, the contact point response inversion recursive formula of the left vehicle is obtained, as shown in the following formula:
[0150]
[0151] Similarly, the contact point response inversion recursive formula of the right vehicle is:
[0152]
[0153] Wherein, And Respectively represent the vehicle-bridge contact point acceleration response of the left vehicle and the right vehicle, Δt is the sampling interval, And respectively, denote the second derivative of the vertical vibration acceleration of the left and right vehicles with respect to time t.
[0154] To extract the main modal characteristics of the bridge, the calculated contact point responses need to be filtered to remove the effects of vehicle motion and retain only the vibration characteristics of the first few modes of the bridge. Since the frequencies of interest for most bridges are mainly below 30 Hz, a band-pass filter can be used to remove irrelevant frequency components. After filtering, the contact point acceleration and can be approximated as:
[0155]
[0156] where N is the number of finite modal orders, which is related to the range of the filter interval, and is usually an integer greater than 2 to ensure that the key modal information is not lost, denotes the bridge damping frequency of the nth mode, and n denotes the bridge frequency of the nth mode, and n denotes the low-frequency envelope function, and n denotes the bridge frequency of the nth mode, and n denotes the low-frequency envelope function, and n denotes the bridge frequency of the nth mode, and n denotes the bridge frequency of the nth mode, and and denote the coefficients related to the sine and cosine vibration components, respectively, denotes the damping factor considering damping.
[0157] Although the filter removes some non-modal components, the signal still contains multiple modal components. Therefore, it is necessary to further separate the instantaneous amplitude of each mode to characterize its time-varying characteristics. Time-frequency analysis combined with the ridge tracking method can effectively extract the envelope line (ridge) of each mode to depict the time-varying evolution of the modal characteristics.
[0158] To achieve accurate modal component extraction, wavelet transform can be used for time-frequency analysis (other time-frequency methods are also applicable), as shown in Figure 4 the wavelet transform time-frequency diagram of the contact point of the left vehicle is shown in Figure 4 (a), and the wavelet transform time-frequency diagram of the contact point of the right vehicle is shown in Figure 4 (b). Wavelet transform has good localization characteristics in both time and scale (corresponding to frequency) domains, and its mother wavelet is defined as:
[0159]
[0160] where ω0 is the center angular frequency, and j is the imaginary unit.
[0161] The continuous wavelet transform (CWT) of the signal is performed, and its mathematical expression is:
[0162]
[0163] where a > 0 is a scale parameter corresponding to the characteristic frequency of the signal; b is a time parameter representing the position of the signal in time domain; ψ * is the complex conjugate of Morlet wavelet.
[0164] After wavelet transform, the time-varying frequency characteristics of the signal can be observed on the time-scale plane (b, a), and different modal components correspond to different characteristic scales on the plane. Define the wavelet modulus value:
[0165]
[0166] At each time point b, the wavelet modulus value distribution is different at different scales a. The ridge line extracts the evolution track of the main modal component, and is defined as:
[0167]
[0168] Along the ridge line Reading the wavelet modulus value, the instantaneous envelope of the nth order modal can be obtained:
[0169]
[0170] The center frequency ω0 of Morlet wavelet is related to the modal frequency ω Dn of the signal:
[0171]
[0172] Therefore, in order to accurately capture the modal component Select the matching scale:
[0173]
[0174] At the scale a n , the result of wavelet transform can be approximately expressed as:
[0175]
[0176] where C n reflects the scale normalization constant of wavelet transform, which contains the normalization coefficient of wavelet kernel and the scaling factor of modal amplitude, θ n (b) represents the phase term. Taking the modulus value of the above formula, the instantaneous amplitude can be obtained, as shown in Figure 5 The first-order instantaneous amplitude of the contact point of the left vehicle extracted in this embodiment is shown in Figure 5 (a), the second-order instantaneous amplitude of the contact point of the left vehicle extracted is shown in Figure 5 (b); asFigure 6 The first-order instantaneous amplitude of the extracted contact point of the right vehicle is shown in Fig. 3(a). Figure 6 The second-order instantaneous amplitude of the extracted contact point of the right vehicle is shown in Fig. 3(b). Figure 6
[0177] Further, when the wavelet transform locks the modal frequency , the original time variable b = tb of the recovered signal is restored, and the instantaneous amplitude can be expressed as:
[0178]
[0179] For the right contact point signal:
[0180]
[0181] where Π n is a constant determined by the coefficients and ;
[0182] In order to construct a signal symmetric on the time axis, a new instantaneous amplitude is defined as:
[0183]
[0184] The first-order instantaneous amplitude of the mixed signal is shown in Fig. 4(a). Figure 7 The second-order instantaneous amplitude of the mixed signal is shown in Fig. 4(b). Figure 7 Figure 7
[0185] where
[0186]
[0187] In the coupling time interval [0, L / v] of the vehicle bridge, the following symmetry relationship is satisfied:
[0188]
[0189] However, the exponential decay term is monotonically decreasing on the time axis, so that
[0190] A n (t)≠A n (L / v-t) (40)
[0191] That is, the theoretical symmetry of the signal is destroyed by the exponential decay.
[0192] In order to restore the symmetry of the signal, a penalty term e αt is introduced, so that
[0193]
[0194] where a is a parameter that needs to be determined by optimization, aiming to compensate the symmetry breaking caused by the exponential decay and restore the symmetry of the signal, as shown in Figure 8 , the compensated first-order mixed signal instantaneous amplitude is as shown in Figure 8 (a), and the compensated second-order mixed signal instantaneous amplitude is as shown in Figure 8 (b). When the following condition is met:
[0195] a = ξ n ω n (42)
[0196] the signal restores the complete symmetry, and a is denoted as a * . The following describes a * specific solving process:
[0197] In actual processing, in order to calculate the optimal a, we use dynamic time warping (DTW) to evaluate the symmetry of the signal. First, calculate the DTW distance between the signal and the symmetric signal . The core of the DTW calculation process is to construct a distance matrix that measures the optimal path of aligning two signals on the time axis.
[0198] The calculation of the DTW distance can be completed by the following steps:
[0199] Local distance calculation: First, calculate the local distance d(i,j) between each time step t i and t j .
[0200]
[0201] Construct a distance matrix: Then, fill in a distance matrix D(i,j) by dynamic programming, which represents the cumulative minimum distance from the starting point to the (i,j) point:
[0202] D(i,j) = d(i,j) + min(D(i-1,j), D(i,j-1), D(i-1,j-1)) (44)
[0203] where D(i-1,j) represents the cumulative distance of the previous time point; D(i,j-1) represents the cumulative distance of the previous time inversion point; D(i-1,j-1) represents the cumulative distance on the diagonal.
[0204] Each element D(i,j) of the matrix is calculated by selecting the smallest value from the previous elements (above, left, or upper left), and then adding the distance of the current point. The first element D(0,0) of the initialization matrix is 0.
[0205] The final DTW distance is calculated as the right-bottom element of matrix D, D(N,N), which is the total cost of the optimal alignment path between the two signals, i.e., the DTW distance between the two signals:
[0206] D final = D(N,N) (45)
[0207] The bisection optimization procedure is as follows:
[0208] Optimize α in the interval [α min ,α max ] by bisection to minimize the DTW distance. The basic steps of bisection are as follows:
[0209] (1) Initialization: Set the initial interval [α min ,α max ] and compute the midpoint
[0210] (2) Calculate the DTW distance: For the current α mid , calculate the corresponding DTW distance D(α mid ).
[0211] (3) Adjust the interval: According to the size of D(α mid ), reduce the search interval:
[0212] If D(α mid ) is less than the target value (or the previous distance), it means that the current α mid is closer to the optimal solution, and update α min to α mid .
[0213] If D(α mid ) is greater than the target value, update α max to α mid .
[0214] (4) Convergence criterion: When the length of the interval is less than the pre-set precision threshold, stop optimization and output the optimal α value.
[0215] The convergence criterion is as follows:
[0216] In order to determine whether convergence has been reached, a small threshold value ∈ threshold is set in this embodiment, and when the length of the interval is less than this value, it is considered that the optimal solution has been found, and the optimal solution α * is output.
[0217] |α max -α min |≤∈ threshold (46)
[0218] wherein, ∈ threshold denotes a preset precision threshold, |a max -a min | denotes the interval length.
[0219] Generally, ∈ threshold can take a smaller value to ensure high precision.
[0220] By optimizing the solution of a * , the damping ratio can be further calculated, and the expression is as follows:
[0221]
[0222] wherein, ω n denotes the bridge frequency, which can generally take ω n = ω Dn .
[0223] Further, the compensated and normalized signal is obtained, and the expression is as follows:
[0224]
[0225] By introducing the time-space transformation t=x / v and performing normalization, the following is obtained: and respectively represent the modal shape of the bridge structure along the left-to-right and right-to-left directions. To obtain the modal shape conforming to the conventional definition (i.e., the modal form propagating from left to right), the mirror flip operation along the x-axis can be performed on , so as to realize the standardized representation of the modal shape.
[0226] As shown in Figure 9 , the comparison chart of the recovered first-order mode shape and the theoretical modal is shown in Figure 9 (a), and the comparison chart of the recovered second-order mode shape and the theoretical modal is shown in Figure 9 (b).
[0227] Therefore, the present application adopts the above-mentioned arbitrary support bridge damping and modal recovery method based on left and right driving vehicles, which fully utilizes the structural response characteristics induced by left and right driving vehicles, combines the exponential decay correction and signal symmetry optimization strategy, not only effectively compensates the signal distortion caused by damping, but also accurately identifies the damping and modal parameters of the arbitrary support bridge, thereby providing an innovative and universal technical solution for dynamic performance evaluation and health monitoring of complex bridge structures.
[0228] It should be pointed out finally that the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application but not to limit it, and although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the technical solutions of the present application can still be modified or replaced equivalently, and these modifications or equivalent replacements should not make the modified technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
