Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bridge health monitoring, and more specifically, to a system for correcting stress monitoring data under the influence of temperature on continuous beam bridges. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of modern bridge engineering, continuous beam bridges are widely used due to their excellent spanning capacity and adaptability. To ensure the safe service of such large infrastructures during their design life of 20 to 30 years, structural health monitoring systems based on the concepts of fault prediction and health management have become an indispensable technical means. Especially under the significant influence of temperature effects, the accuracy of stress monitoring is directly related to the assessment and prediction of the safety status of bridge structures. Such systems usually require the long-term deployment of a large number of stress sensors in key areas of the bridge, such as beam joints and temperature-sensitive parts, to collect multi-variable data such as structural response and environmental temperature and humidity in real time. However, the service environment of bridges is often extreme and complex and variable, inevitably facing the combined effects of external factors such as periodic freeze-thaw cycles, continuous high humidity environments, and chemical media corrosion. At the same time, under the long-term continuous power-on operation, the sensor's sensitive elements and circuits will inevitably undergo internal degradation phenomena such as material aging and electrical characteristic drift. In addition, the possible slight loosening of the mounting base will cause the sensor output signal to accumulate a slow but continuous baseline shift or sensitivity change over time, i.e., sensor drift error. This phenomenon is common in the entire life cycle operation of structural health monitoring systems.

[0003] In existing technologies, the main approach to addressing long-term sensor drift issues relies on manual calibration at fixed time intervals. This includes periodic offline calibration using standard metrology instruments, or the application of traditional algorithms like Kalman filters for noise filtering and simple linear error compensation during data processing. However, these methods have significant limitations. First, manual calibration cycles are typically long, often monthly or even quarterly. During these intervals, drift errors inevitably accumulate, failing to meet the demands of real-time, accurate monitoring. Second, traditional data processing algorithms, such as standard Kalman filters, are usually based on linear or quasi-linear system assumptions, making it difficult to effectively characterize and compensate for the nonlinear and time-varying characteristics of sensor drift, especially the coupling relationships between different types of drift. Finally, and most importantly, there is an inherent deficiency in the design of existing technologies for fault prediction and health management frameworks. Current PHM models, when constructing structural health status predictions, mainly focus on the damage evolution and mechanical response of the structure itself, and generally lack explicit modeling and online prediction capabilities for the significant interfering factor of sensor performance degradation. This leads to a serious practical application challenge: during long-term operation, especially during periods of drastic external temperature fluctuations, spurious signals generated by sensor drift are easily misjudged as the actual stress response of the bridge structure due to temperature changes or signals of structural damage initiation. This seriously interferes with the accurate pre-diagnosis of the long-term health trend of the bridge by the PHM system. Such data distortion cannot be reliably identified and distinguished in bridge stress monitoring systems, forming a core technical bottleneck that urgently needs to be addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art by providing a stress monitoring data correction system for continuous beam bridges under the influence of temperature. Through multi-module collaborative innovation, it effectively solves the problem of distortion in bridge stress monitoring data under the influence of temperature, thereby resolving the issues mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The technical solution of this invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: Specifically, it includes: a drift perception module, a trend modeling module, a compensation and correction module, and a health prediction module, wherein... Drift sensing module: When real-time stress data stream and ambient temperature and humidity data are input synchronously, it dynamically captures signal segments through an adaptive sliding window and applies a wavelet-empirical mode decomposition hybrid algorithm to separate the baseline drift component and the true stress component in the stress signal. Trend modeling module: configured to receive the baseline drift component and associated environmental variables, construct a dual-path deep reinforcement learning ensemble model, wherein the first path uses a long short-term memory network to encode environmental temporal features, the second path establishes a drift state transition equation, and finally outputs the drift prediction value and confidence level through a collaborative decision-maker; Compensation and correction module: configured to, based on the drift prediction value, introduce the theoretical quantity of structural thermal expansion as a physical constraint and drive the physical-guided adversarial generative network to generate drift compensation amount; Health prediction module: configured to fuse the drift compensation amount with the original stress data, perform the remaining life integral equation calculation with time-varying gain factor, and output the bridge structure health status and remaining life prediction results; In a preferred embodiment, the specific operation of the adaptive sliding window dynamically capturing signal segments in the drift sensing module is as follows: First, the phase space of the real-time stress data stream is reconstructed. The optimal time delay parameter is determined by calculating the minimum value of the mutual information function, and a multi-dimensional phase space trajectory matrix is ​​constructed with an embedding dimension of 3. Second, the maximum Lyapunov exponent of the phase space trajectory is calculated. Then, the window length is dynamically calculated based on the initial disturbance modulus threshold and the preset allowable error, combined with the reciprocal relationship of the maximum Lyapunov exponent. Finally, the environmental temperature and humidity data are synchronously locked into the window in a timestamp-aligned manner, and a fixed-length signal segment and associated environmental variables are output.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the specific process of separating the baseline drift component and the true stress component in the stress signal is as follows: A1. Calculate the local singularity index for the stress data within the window and generate the singularity weight distribution function; A2. The process of generating upper and lower envelopes based on singularity-weighted adjustment of empirical mode decomposition: the Hermite interpolation method is used to construct the weighted envelope, and the intrinsic mode function component set and residual components are obtained by iterative decomposition. A3. Perform discrete wavelet transform based on db8 wavelet basis functions on the residual components to decompose them into multi-level wavelet coefficients, and calculate the wavelet entropy of each level. A4. Establish an entropy-temperature coupling criterion based on the relationship between the rate of change of ambient temperature and the partial derivative of wavelet entropy. When the absolute value of the partial derivative exceeds a predetermined threshold, mark the corresponding segment of the current residual component as the baseline drift component. A5. Separate the baseline drift component from the original residual components and reorganize the intrinsic mode function components to output the true stress components.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the specific operation of encoding the temporal features of the long short-term memory network environment in the trend modeling module is as follows: First, the system receives a data stream of associated environmental variables from the drift sensing module, which includes synchronous time-series records of temperature and humidity parameters. Second, it constructs a bidirectional long short-term memory network architecture with a fixed number of hidden layer units of 64. Then, it sets the environmental analysis time window to 1200 seconds and performs a bidirectional time-dimensional scan of the temperature and humidity data within this window to capture the lagging and leading effects of historical and future environmental states on drift, respectively. Finally, it outputs an environmental feature vector that fuses the bidirectional features.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the process of constructing the drift state transition equation is as follows: First, the current value of the baseline drift component at the previous moment is obtained. Second, the environmental feature vector is extracted and input into the temperature change rate response gating function to generate environmental factor weighting coefficients. Then, the hardware aging effect is converted by a logarithmic scaling factor, based on the cumulative power-on time of the sensor. Next, the three sets of parameters—the baseline drift component, the environmental factor weighting coefficients, and the hardware aging effect—are substituted into the state transition equation, which uses a modified linear unit as the nonlinear activation function. Finally, the predicted drift state value is output.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the operation of the collaborative decision-maker in outputting the drift prediction value and confidence level is as follows: First, the environmental feature vector and the drift state prediction are merged to construct the decision state space. Second, the action space of the compensation adjustment magnitude is defined, with its upper and lower bounds symmetrically distributed. Then, the state action value function is calculated through a deep Q-network, with the hidden layer of this function adopting a two-layer fully connected structure. Subsequently, based on the absolute residual between the drift state prediction and the actual baseline drift component, and combined with the conditional mutual information entropy of the environmental feature vector and the drift state prediction, a normalized confidence index is generated. Finally, the compensation adjustment magnitude is output as the correction amount for the drift prediction, and the confidence index is used as the reliability indicator of health management decision.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the specific operation of introducing the theoretical quantity of structural thermal expansion as a physical constraint in the compensation and correction module includes: First, the characteristic length distribution of the temperature-sensitive region is analyzed using a bridge finite element model. Second, the real-time temperature difference value and the coefficient of thermal expansion of the material are obtained. Then, the median characteristic length, the temperature difference value, and the coefficient of thermal expansion are multiplied to generate the theoretical quantity of structural thermal expansion. Finally, this theoretical quantity is output to the input of the physics-guided adversarial generative network.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the operation process of the driving physical-guided adversarial generative network is as follows: First, a dual-channel temporal convolution generator is constructed, with the first channel inputting the drift prediction value and the second channel inputting the theoretical quantity of structural thermal expansion. Second, the discriminator incorporates the sensor aging physical equation constraint. Then, the generator generates an initial compensation amount based on the dual-channel input. Finally, a confidence-weighted fusion mechanism is used to correct the initial compensation amount: when the confidence level is higher than a threshold, the generated result is directly output; when it is lower than the threshold, it switches to a conservative correction mode based on baseline drift.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the specific operation of fusing the drift compensation amount with the original stress data in the health prediction module is as follows: First, the drift compensation amount and the original stress monitoring data stream are received; second, a drift elimination operation is performed, subtracting the drift compensation amount from the original stress monitoring data to generate the drift-corrected true stress value; then, the gradient field is calculated on the true stress value to obtain the multi-axis stress coupling gradient norm; at the same time, the environmental vibration energy spectral density parameter is extracted; finally, combined with the confidence parameter from the trend modeling module, a time-varying gain factor is generated through hyperbolic tangent function mapping.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the execution process of the remaining lifetime integral equation calculation with time-varying gain factor is as follows: First, the theoretical failure time point and the material failure stress threshold are set. Second, a time-varying decay factor with exponential decay characteristics is constructed, which gradually increases as time approaches the failure point. Then, the minimum value of the actual stress value during the service cycle is used as the fatigue strength inflection point criterion. Finally, a dual integral structure kernel function is established, which dynamically integrates the dynamic damage rate, decay factor and fatigue strength margin after gain modulation in the inner integral layer, and performs time-normalization calculation in the outer integral layer to output the remaining life prediction value and the three-level health status classification label.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: through multi-module collaborative innovation, it effectively solves the problem of distortion of bridge stress monitoring data under the influence of temperature; the drift sensing module accurately separates environmental drift from the real stress signal; the trend modeling module dynamically predicts the drift evolution law and quantifies the confidence level; the compensation and correction module integrates physical constraints to generate anti-interference drift compensation amount; and the health prediction module achieves accurate life assessment based on time-varying mechanism. Ultimately, it significantly improves the reliability of monitoring data, avoids misjudging the structural damage state, optimizes maintenance decisions and ensures the safety of the bridge throughout its entire life cycle, while reducing the ineffective operation and maintenance costs caused by false alarms.

The expression for the entropy-temperature coupling criterion is as follows: ; in, This represents the extracted baseline drift component. This represents the partial derivative of the wavelet entropy with respect to ambient temperature. The entropy threshold is set to 0.05. In this formula, the drift-dominant period is identified by the sensitivity of wavelet entropy to temperature (such as significant entropy changes when temperature changes abruptly), and the drift component is separated. When the absolute value of the partial derivative exceeds the predetermined threshold, the corresponding segment of the current residual component is marked as the baseline drift component. A5.

Within this window, a bidirectional time-dimension scan of the temperature and humidity data is performed to capture the lag and lead effects of historical and future environmental conditions on drift, respectively; finally, an environmental feature vector fused with bidirectional features is output. The dimension of this vector is consistent with the number of hidden layer units, and its expression is: ;in, This represents the environmental feature vector (encoding the temporal features of the environment for subsequent drift prediction).

The formula incorporates a spatially relevant characteristic length. (Non-homogeneous beams require partitioned calculations), replacing the traditional homogeneous material assumption; finally, the theoretical quantity is output to the input of the physics-guided adversarial generative network to ensure that it is input synchronously with the drift prediction value; The process of driving the physical-guided generative adversarial network is as follows: First, a dual-channel temporal convolution generator is constructed, with the first channel inputting the drift prediction value and the second channel inputting the theoretical quantity of structural thermal expansion. Its expression is as follows: ; in, Represents the generator input vector. This represents the drift prediction value. The first factor represents the theoretical quantity of structural thermal expansion; the second factor is the constraint imposed by the aging physical equation of the built-in sensor in the discriminator. This equation requires that the time-varying rate of the generator's output compensation quantity conforms to the exponential decay law of hardware degradation. The discriminator's physical constraint formula is as follows: ; in, The physical loss function (scalar) is used to quantify the deviation between the compensation quantity and the physical laws. This represents the derivative of the initial compensation amount with respect to time, characterizing the instantaneous rate of change of the compensation amount.

When (0.2), the generated result is output directly, and the confidence-driven correction formula is: ; in, This indicates the final drift compensation amount. This represents the confidence level, and its value ranges from [0,1]. This represents the initial compensation amount. This formula represents the baseline drift component and serves to dynamically balance the generated result with a conservative value. For example, when... (High confidence) The final compensation amount depends 90% on the generator result, when (Low confidence), 90% dependent on baseline drift value, below the threshold When switching to the baseline drift-based conservative correction mode, the formula for the conservative correction mode is: ; in, This represents the conservative weighting factor (its value range is [0,1]), and its calculation method is as follows: ( (represents the normalization coefficient) This expression represents baseline drift and serves to: resolve... The risk of divergence in the compensation amount at that time. In this embodiment, it is necessary to specifically explain the operation of fusing the drift compensation amount with the original stress data in the health prediction module as follows: First, the drift compensation amount and the original stress monitoring data stream are received; then, a drift elimination operation is performed, subtracting the drift compensation amount from the original stress monitoring data to generate the drift-corrected true stress value, the expression of which is: ;in, This represents the true stress after drift correction.
