Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bridge structural health monitoring and structural response identification technology, specifically involving a bridge full-field deflection reconstruction method based on modal-assisted inverse finite element method and discrete deflection correction. Background Technology
[0002] Bridges are critical nodes in transportation infrastructure networks. During long-term service, they are susceptible to performance degradation and even structural damage due to factors such as traffic loads, environmental erosion, and material aging. Deflection is an important indicator reflecting the overall stress state and load-bearing capacity of a bridge. Deflection monitoring results can effectively characterize the deformation response of a bridge under load, serving as a crucial basis for bridge safety assessment, health monitoring, condition early warning, and maintenance decisions. Currently, methods for obtaining bridge deflection mainly include direct measurement methods and indirect reconstruction methods.
[0003] Direct measurement methods typically employ static levels, laser displacement gauges, and visual measurement equipment to obtain bridge displacement information. These methods usually only yield deflection data at a small number of discrete measurement points, making it difficult to reflect the overall deflection distribution across the entire bridge.
[0004] Indirect reconstruction methods utilize structural responses such as strain, acceleration, and tilt angle for deflection inversion. Among these, the inverse finite element method (IFM), as a deformation reconstruction technique, can achieve full-field structural deformation reconstruction using structural strain information without relying on external load information or complex boundary condition assumptions, showing promising application prospects in bridge health monitoring. However, existing IFM methods still face the following problems in practical engineering applications: While traditional strain inversion methods can be used for full-field deflection estimation, they are sensitive to the number of measurement points, boundary conditions, and measurement noise, and reconstruction accuracy decreases significantly under sparse sensing conditions; furthermore, existing bridge monitoring systems can typically acquire discrete deflection observation data as well as bridge design parameters and structural geometric information, but existing deflection reconstruction methods have not fully utilized the prior information of bridge finite element modal analysis to enhance strain data, nor have they effectively integrated discrete deflection observations to correct preliminary reconstruction results, thus limiting the accuracy and engineering applicability of full-field bridge deflection reconstruction. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies, this invention provides a method for reconstructing the full-field deflection of bridges based on modal-assisted inverse finite element method and discrete deflection correction. This method solves the problems of high dependence on strain sensor deployment density, insufficient reconstruction accuracy under sparse monitoring conditions, and inadequate utilization of discrete deflection observations in existing full-field bridge deflection reconstruction processes. By fusing prior modal information of the bridge finite element method to expand sparse strain data, and combining it with an inverse finite element model to achieve preliminary full-field deflection reconstruction, further prediction and correction are performed using discrete deflection observations. This achieves high-precision and stable reconstruction of the full-field bridge deflection, improving its engineering applicability.

[0022] A method for reconstructing the full-field deflection of bridges based on modal-assisted inverse finite element method and discrete deflection correction is disclosed. This method utilizes strain modal information extracted from the bridge's finite element model as a spatial prior, expands the sparse measured strain data obtained from a health monitoring system into a full-field strain distribution, and introduces the expanded full-field strain distribution into the inverse finite element model to obtain the preliminary full-field deflection of the bridge.

[0031] The first state is extracted from the posterior state estimate. k The final full-field deflection vector at each sampling time point .
[0032] Explanation: The technical essence of "correcting the preliminary full-field deflection" in step 5 lies in the following: The preliminary full-field nodal displacement vector obtained by solving the inverse finite element global equation in step 3 contains the estimated information of the bridge's full-field nodal deflection components. However, this estimation is only based on extended full-field strain data and does not incorporate the measured constraints of discrete deflection observations. In step 4, when constructing the augmented observation model, the inverse finite element global equation is incorporated into the augmented observation vector in the form of equivalent observation constraints, so that the preliminary full-field deflection information participates in the prediction-correction process as a priori state constraint. In step 5, the prediction stage recursively obtains the priori state estimate at the k-th sampling time from the posterior state estimate at the (k-1)-th sampling time. The full-field nodal deflection components in this priori state estimate are the information of the preliminary full-field deflection in step 3. In the correction stage, the priori state estimate is weighted and corrected using the discrete measured deflection data in the augmented observation vector and the equivalent constraints of the inverse finite element, thereby realizing the correction and optimization of the preliminary full-field deflection. Finally, a more accurate final full-field deflection vector is extracted from the corrected posterior state estimate.
[0033] Example 2: As Figure 2 As shown, the test bridge is a three-span continuous beam bridge with a span arrangement of 3.2m + 5.6m + 3.2m. Three mid-span sections were used as monitoring sections, and strain sensors were placed at the upper and lower edges of each section to collect the bridge's dynamic strain response. Simultaneously, deflection sensors were placed at the three mid-span positions to acquire the mid-span deflection response. Additionally, a deflection sensor was placed at the left side span's quarter-span position to compare and verify the reconstruction results of the proposed method. During the experiment, a trolley was used as a moving load, traveling at a constant speed along the bridge's longitudinal centerline from left to right, continuously collecting dynamic response data for 30 seconds. The bridge's full-field deflection reconstruction method based on modal-assisted inverse finite element method and discrete deflection correction, proposed in this invention, was used to reconstruct the bridge's full-field deflection time history, and the reconstructed deflection time history at the left side span's quarter-span position was extracted.
[0034] Figure 3 The comparison between the reconstructed deflection and the measured deflection at the quarter-span location of the left side span is presented. Figure 3It can be seen that the deflection time history reconstructed by the method of the present invention is basically consistent with the trend of the measured results, and can accurately reflect the dynamic deflection response of the bridge under moving load.
[0035] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
