Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bridge engineering detection, and more specifically, to a method for detecting hidden diseases of bridge engineering based on intelligent algorithms and magnetic memory. Background Art
[0002] With the development of science and technology, metal materials are more widely used in bridge engineering. Due to the influence of harsh climate environments and complex external forces, metal materials will have varying degrees of defect damage. Once defects appear in the materials, if not discovered and measures taken in time, it will not only cause economic losses and major accidents, but may also cause casualties. If the damage to the internal steel bars of the bridge can be detected in advance, scientific maintenance methods can be adopted according to the detection results to extend the service life of the bridge.
[0003] In China, the applied bridge engineering detection methods mainly focus on the detection and evaluation of the bridge appearance and bearing capacity, and less attention is paid to the damage caused by hidden diseases inside the bridge, such as steel bar corrosion, corrosion and broken wires of stay cables, steel bar stress, internal prestress, fatigue damage of steel structures, etc. The detection means for hidden diseases of bridges have not yet formed a complete system, and currently it is still a technical difficulty to be overcome.
[0004] Currently, the non-destructive detection techniques for internal defects of bridges mainly include magnetoacoustic emission detection method (MAE), ultrasonic detection method (UT), ray detection method (RT), magnetic particle detection method (MPT), and magnetic flux leakage detection method (MFL), etc. Although these methods can detect the damaged parts of the bridge structure, they generally have disadvantages such as low accuracy, difficult positioning, and complex operation. As a new method in the field of green non-destructive detection, the metal magnetic memory detection technique can magnetize ferromagnetic materials using the natural geomagnetic field in a complex detection environment, and can perform early prevention and diagnosis on the microscopic defects on the surface of the test piece without preprocessing the surface of the test piece.
[0005] In actual engineering, the workload of detecting internal defects of bridge structures is extremely large, and the proportion of undamaged components is relatively high. Using the existing local detection methods to detect each component of the bridge structure one by one generally has disadvantages such as large workload, low efficiency, and uneconomical. Combining with the rapidly developing intelligent algorithms in recent years will effectively solve this problem. Intelligent algorithms are widely used in many fields such as civil engineering because of their powerful large-scale data processing capabilities, automatic learning capabilities, adaptive capabilities, etc. The structural damage location method applying intelligent algorithms does not require prior knowledge of the structural dynamic characteristics and has the advantage of non-parametric damage location; it can obtain the implicit relationship between input and output hidden in the sample data through training and learning, and can filter out noise and extract the inherent characteristics of things themselves in the presence of noise. Therefore, it is more suitable for damage location of structures with a large amount of noise and measurement errors. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In view of the two major problems of low detection efficiency and difficult damage location existing in the current detection technology for hidden diseases of bridges, the present invention proposes a method for detecting hidden diseases of bridge engineering based on intelligent algorithms and magnetic memory. By combining the initial information of the bridge structure, intelligent algorithms, and magnetic memory detection technology, this method realizes the accurate location and efficient detection of hidden diseases of bridges. Hidden diseases include welds of steel structure bridges, nodes, and connection parts of composite structures.
[0007] The method for detecting hidden diseases of bridge engineering based on intelligent algorithms and magnetic memory of the present invention includes the following steps:
[0008] S1 Obtain the initial information of the bridge structure.
[0009] S2 Group the bridge structure components according to the component types.
[0010] S3 Take the initial information of the bridge structure and the component grouping situation as the basis for modeling, and establish a bridge structure analysis model with the help of structural analysis software.
[0011] S4 The structural analysis software performs damage simulation on each component in different parts of the bridge structure, and then obtains the modal data after damage.
[0012] S5 Analyze and summarize the modal data after damage in different parts, and form training samples.
[0013] S6 Use intelligent algorithms to combine, learn, and iterate the training samples formed by the damage conditions and corresponding modal parameters of different components of the bridge structure to establish a damage location model.
[0014] S7 According to the location information given by the damage location model, combined with the collected magnetic memory data, verify and optimize the damage location model.
[0015] The magnetic memory data is collected by using a magnetic memory detection instrument to scan the area to be measured through a micro magnetic sensor driven by a stepping motor.
[0016] The structural analysis software is ansys software.
[0017] The analysis and induction of the modal data are manually sorted out.
[0018] Furthermore, in step S1 of the present invention, the initial information of the bridge structure includes the completion drawing information of the bridge, structural material information, bridge detection and monitoring information, and the current state structural modal information.
[0019] Furthermore, in step S2 of the present invention, in order to improve the accuracy and convergence speed of the intelligent algorithm for determining the location of structural damage, the overall bridge structure is discretized into different sub-components according to component types, and is subdivided into main girders, piers and abutments, bridge towers, truss joints, box girder welds, suspenders, arch ribs, arch feet, and shear keys according to the force conditions of the bridge structure.
[0020] Furthermore, in step S3 of the present invention, when using the construction analysis software for modeling, it is necessary to first establish an analysis model of the bridge structure in a non-damaged state according to the initial information of the bridge structure, group the model according to sub-component types, and digitize the damage conditions of each sub-component for later statistical information to form training samples.
[0021] Furthermore, in step S4 of the present invention, in the process of simulating the structural damage location, all sub-components that may be damaged should be damaged one by one, and the damage modal information in the single-component damage state should be obtained;
[0022] The introduced damage method adopts reducing the modulus of the damaged part, setting unit notches, or even removing some units; specifically, damage is introduced into the original non-damaged model, and the damaged parts are determined according to the grouping of sub-components, ensuring that at least one damage is introduced into each sub-component, and the modal parameters of different parts of the bridge structure in the single-damage state are output by using the structural analysis software.
[0023] The single-damage state means that in the structural analysis model, only the damaged condition of a single component needs to be simulated each time. The existing intelligent algorithm randomly combines the damaged conditions and corresponding modal samples of each single-component to obtain the modal information corresponding to the multi-damage condition of multiple components damaged simultaneously; after the single-damage state and the data of randomly combining single-component damage, a bridge structure damage location model is obtained.
[0024] Furthermore, in step S5 of the present invention, the training samples are universal for the current and subsequent detections of the bridge structure to be detected. No matter how the performance of the bridge structure degrades during subsequent service, this data is still applicable and belongs to the permanent bridge structure damage location model.
[0025] Furthermore, in step S6 of the present invention, after the bridge structure damage location model is established, it is necessary to calculate the bridge structure damage location by back-calculating the modal information of the measured bridge structure, and judge the damage location accuracy of the intelligent algorithm. If the preset accuracy requirement is met, the intelligent damage location model is established. Otherwise, it is necessary to re-iterate and optimize the intelligent algorithm until the preset accuracy requirement is met.
[0026] Furthermore, the intelligent algorithm of the present invention uses the normalized damage signal index NDSI as the network input vector for specific damage location and uses the normalized damage signal index NDSI as the damage identification of the network input vector.
[0027] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0028] Improve detection efficiency: By combining intelligent algorithms and magnetic memory detection technology, the present invention can achieve rapid positioning of hidden diseases in bridges, greatly shortening the detection time and improving the detection efficiency. This helps reduce detection costs, while accelerating the progress of bridge repair and maintenance, ensuring the safety and stability of the bridge structure.

This enables inspectors to more accurately locate the positions of hidden diseases in bridges, reducing the possibility of misjudgment and missed judgment.
[0030] Enhance detection versatility: The established structural data model of the present invention is universal. Regardless of how the performance of the bridge structure degrades during subsequent service, this data model is still applicable. This means that this method can be long-term applied to the monitoring and maintenance of bridge structures, providing continuous guarantee for the safe operation of bridges.
[0031] Optimize bridge management: By presenting the current status of the bridge and the prediction results in real time, the present invention provides strong decision-making support for bridge management and maintenance units. The management and maintenance units can formulate repair and maintenance plans in a timely manner based on this information, optimize bridge management strategies, and ensure the long-term safe operation of the bridge structure.
[0032] Promote technological progress: The proposal and implementation of the present invention promote the development and innovation of hidden disease detection technology for bridges. By combining intelligent algorithms and magnetic memory detection technology, the present invention provides new ideas and methods for the monitoring and maintenance of bridge structures, helping to promote the technological progress and development of the entire industry.

[0052] The introduced damage method adopts reducing the modulus of the damaged part, setting unit notches, or even removing some units; specifically, damage is introduced into the original undamaged model, and the damaged parts are determined according to the grouping of sub-components to ensure that at least one damage is introduced into each sub-component. The modal parameters of different parts of the bridge structure in the single-damage state are output using structural analysis software.
[0053] The single-damage state means that in the structural analysis model, only the damaged conditions of a single component need to be simulated each time. The damaged conditions of each single component and the corresponding modal samples are randomly combined by the existing intelligent algorithm to obtain the modal information corresponding to the multi-damage conditions where multiple components are damaged simultaneously.

If the preset accuracy requirement is met, the intelligent damage location model is established; otherwise, the intelligent algorithm needs to be iteratively optimized until the preset accuracy requirement is met.

[0067] Data processing and display (S8 & S9):
[0068] The on-site control computer processes the received data, including signal filtering, feature extraction, etc., to improve the data quality.
