Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bridge cable health monitoring and parameter identification, and particularly relates to a cable parameter identification method fusing a genetic algorithm (GA) and a particle swarm optimization (PSO) and introducing a physical model correction and a boundary condition, which is suitable for synchronous identification of multiple parameters such as cable force, bending stiffness and boundary rotational stiffness. BACKGROUND

[0002] In engineering structures such as bridges, cables, beam structures and the like, accurate identification of the physical parameters (such as cable force, bending stiffness and boundary conditions) of the structure is of great significance for structural health monitoring, safety evaluation and maintenance decision-making.

[0003] Traditional parameter identification methods often rely on single-mode frequency or static response, and have the following shortcomings:

[0004] 1. Low parameter identification accuracy, easily affected by measurement errors;

[0005] 2. The boundary condition processing does not consider the elastic boundary and ignores the boundary rotational stiffness;

[0006] 4. It is difficult to identify multiple coupled parameters (such as tension, stiffness and boundary stiffness) at the same time;

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a structure parameter identification method with strong global search ability and capable of processing multi-modal frequency data and complex boundary conditions. SUMMARY

[0008] In view of the above shortcomings of the prior art, the present application aims to provide a cable parameter identification method based on an improved hybrid optimization algorithm, which solves the problems of low identification accuracy, poor robustness and imperfect boundary processing in the prior art, and realizes high-precision synchronous identification of tension, bending stiffness and boundary rotational stiffness.

[0009] The present application adopts the following technical solution: a cable parameter identification method based on an improved hybrid optimization algorithm, comprising:

[0010] Step S1: inputting structural geometric parameters, mass distribution and multi-order modal frequency measurement values;

[0011] Step S2: constructing a frequency calculation model fusing bending stiffness, tension and boundary rotational stiffness;

[0012] Step S3: designing a multi-modal objective function based on frequency relative error weighting;

[0013] Step S4: global search by improved genetic algorithm (GA) to obtain preliminary optimal parameters; logarithmic uniform distribution sampling is used for population initialization to avoid exponential overflow; tournament selection, simulated binary crossover and polynomial mutation are introduced; crossover and mutation probabilities are dynamically adjusted;

[0014] Step S5: local fine-tuning by improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) using GA results as initial population; self-adaptive inertia weight and learning factor are introduced; random disturbance is introduced periodically to enhance the ability to jump out of local optimum;

[0015] Step S6: model validation is performed on the identification results to determine their rationality under extreme physical conditions;

[0016] Step S7: output the final identification parameters and their corresponding frequency fitting errors.

[0017] As a preferred, the frequency calculation model in step S2 is:

[0018]

[0019] where f n is the nth order frequency, n is the modal order, T is the tension, EI is the bending stiffness, k is the boundary rotational stiffness, m is the unit length mass, and L is the structure length.

[0020] As a preferred, the multi-modal objective function in step S3 is:

[0021]

[0022] where f meas,i is the measured value; f calc,i is the calculated value; w i is the modal weight, which decreases with the modal order, n i is the modal order.

[0023] As a preferred, the improved genetic algorithm in step S4 includes logarithmic uniform distribution sampling for population initialization, tournament selection, simulated binary crossover, polynomial mutation, and dynamic adjustment of crossover / mutation probabilities.

[0024] As a preferred, the improved particle swarm optimization in step S5 includes self-adaptive inertia weight and learning factor, speed / position boundary control, periodic random disturbance, and initial population generated partially from genetic algorithm optimal solutions; Gaussian random disturbance is introduced every 50 generations to enhance the ability to jump out of local optimum; speed limit is 20% of the search space.

[0025] As preferred, the limit physical condition verification in the step S6 comprises: simulating ideal string vibration (EI≈0, k≈0); simulating pure bending beam (T≈0, k≈0); and comparing whether the theoretical frequency is consistent with the model calculation frequency.

[0026] As preferred, the frequency is a measured frequency obtained by an acceleration sensor.

[0027] Advantages:

[0028] (1) The present application can identify three key structural parameters at one time by constructing a modified frequency model fusing tension, bending stiffness and boundary rotational stiffness, combining with multi-modal frequency data, breaking through the limitation of traditional method which can only identify a single parameter or needs to identify step by step, and significantly improving the identification efficiency and engineering applicability.

[0029] (2) The improved genetic algorithm (GA) is used for global search, and then the improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) is introduced for local fine-tuning with the GA optimal solution as the initial population, which takes into account the global exploration and local optimization ability, and the identification accuracy is better than that of traditional single algorithm, the convergence speed is fast, and the identification accuracy is high.

[0030] (3) The limit physical model verification mechanism is introduced, and typical structural working conditions such as ideal string and pure bending beam are simulated respectively to verify the rationality of the identification result under the theoretical limit condition, to ensure that the identification parameters not only have optimal values, but also have physical meaning and engineering interpretability, and to improve the scientificity and reliability of the method.

[0031] (4) The target function adopts the form of relative error, which reduces the amplification effect of high frequency mode on error contribution; the weighting strategy makes the weight of high-order mode decrease, which effectively suppresses the interference of measurement noise on the identification result; the algorithm is not sensitive to initial value, and has strong fault tolerance and engineering adaptability.

The cable end is knocked, and the steel strand vibration signal after each knock is recorded to ensure that enough sample signals are recorded to cover different vibration modes. At the same time, the structural parameters of the steel strand are recorded, including the length L1 of the steel strand, the linear density p of the steel strand, and the corresponding cable force;
