[0031] To make the technical problems, solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, a detailed description will be provided below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0032] Example 1: This embodiment uses a concrete gravity dam as a prototype to describe in detail the implementation process of the method of the present invention. The overall process of the method is as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0033] Step S1: Shaking table physical model experiment and data acquisition S1.1 Model Design and Production A concrete gravity dam was selected as the prototype, and a shaking table physical model was constructed at a geometric scale of 1:100. The model used micro-particle concrete to simulate the dam body concrete, and the model dimensions were: dam height 85cm, dam top width 12cm, dam bottom width 65cm, and dam axial length 28cm.

[0034] An initial crack is pre-set in the middle of the upstream face of the model dam. The crack is 15cm long, 2cm wide, and penetrates the thickness of the dam body. The crack angle is 60° (the angle with the horizontal plane). The crack is made by pre-embedding thin steel sheets and then pulling them out to ensure that the crack surface is flat.

[0035] S1.2 Sensor Arrangement An array of acceleration sensors is arranged on the surface of the model, as shown in the diagram. Figure 2 As shown in Table 1, the specific layout plan is as follows: Measuring points A1-A3: arranged at 3cm intervals along the direction extending from the tip of the initial crack into the interior of the dam body, used to capture the vibration response in the stress concentration area at the crack tip; Measurement points B1-B4: symmetrically arranged on both sides of the expected crack propagation path, used to monitor energy release during crack propagation; Measuring points C1-C2: Arranged in the intact area of ​​the dam body away from the cracks, as reference measuring points.

[0036] The sensor uses a triaxial piezoelectric accelerometer.

[0037] Table 1 Accelerometer Sensor Array Arrangement Scheme

[0038] S1.3 Data Acquisition A three-dimensional, six-DOF shaking table was used for loading. The input seismic wave was an El Centro wave (1940, NS component), compressed at a time similarity ratio of 1 / 10. Peak ground acceleration (PGA) was applied at six levels: 0.05g, 0.1g, 0.2g, 0.4g, 0.6g, and 0.8g, each lasting 5.3 seconds, with a 1-second interval for crack morphology observation and recording. The crack propagation process was recorded using a high-speed camera to obtain the crack propagation path and morphology under different seismic intensities. Specific working conditions are shown in Table 2.

[0039] Table 2 Data Acquisition Operating Conditions Setting Scheme

[0040] Step S2: Near-field dynamic parameter calibration The parameter calibration process is as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0041] S2.1 Establishing a numerical model Using conventional basis peridynamics (OSB-PD), a peridynamic numerical model that is geometrically consistent with the physical model is established, with the bond constitutive relations as follows: ; Where c is the micromodulus, s is the bond elongation, ξ is the initial bond vector, and η is the relative displacement vector.

[0042] When the bond elongation s exceeds the critical elongation s0, the bond breaks: ; Local damage is defined as the ratio of the number of broken bonds to the total number of bonds: ; Step S2.2 Calibrate key PD parameters Key parameters of the PD model include micromodulus c, critical elongation s0, and near-field size δ. Among these, the micromodulus c is related to the material's elastic modulus, and its theoretical value is... The critical elongation s0 controls the damage initiation; there is no theoretical formula, and it needs to be calibrated experimentally. The near-field range dimension δ is fixed at 3Δx and is not calibrated separately.

[0043] Establish the objective function for parameter calibration: Define the crack morphology error between numerical simulation and physical experiment: ; in, Let be the crack propagation length in the numerical simulation and experiment at the i-th loading level; The crack propagation angle at the j-th observation point; N=6 (6 loading levels), M=12 (12 angle observation points).

[0044] A genetic algorithm was used to search for the optimal s0. The population size was 50, the search range was s0∈[0.0001,0.001], the crossover probability was 0.8, the mutation probability was 0.1, and the termination condition was that the objective function change was <0.1% for 20 consecutive generations. The final s0 was then determined. * =0.00042 (corresponding to strain 0.042%), minimum value of objective function: Fmin = 0.083 (8.3% average error).

[0045] Step S2.3 Verify calibration parameters Using calibration parameter s0 * =0.00042 The three key operating conditions EQ-3, EQ-5, and EQ-6 were recalculated. The error between the simulated and experimental values ​​of crack propagation length was less than 10%, verifying the reliability of the calibration parameters. Based on this, a standard parameter library for PD analysis was established.

[0046] Step S3: Signal Feature Extraction and Damage Index Construction Step S3.1 Acceleration signal preprocessing Acceleration signals at various measuring points under different operating conditions are preprocessed. First, the least squares method is used to eliminate the linear trend term. Then, the Butterworth bandpass filter is used to eliminate high-frequency noise and low-frequency drift. Finally, normalization is performed.

[0047] Step S3.2 Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD) was performed on the acceleration signals of each measuring point under seismic loading. EEMD addresses the mode aliasing problem of traditional EMD by adding white noise with a finite amplitude. Specifically, the amplitude of the added white noise was set to 0.2 times the standard deviation of the signal, the ensemble number was 100, and each IMF order was filtered a maximum of 10 times. The process was stopped when the remaining signal was a monotonic function or had fewer than two extreme points.

[0048] The decomposition yielded eight IMF components (IMF1-IMF8) and one residual component. Among them, IMF1-IMF3 are high-frequency components (>100Hz), mainly reflecting the transient characteristics of local damage and crack propagation; IMF4-IMF6 are mid-frequency components (10-100Hz), related to the overall dynamic response of the structure; and IMF7-IMF8 are low-frequency components (<10Hz), reflecting rigid body motion and foundation vibration.

[0049] Step S3.3 Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT) Perform Hilbert-Huang transform on the IMF1-IMF3 components containing the main damage information to obtain the instantaneous frequency and instantaneous amplitude: ; Analytical signal construction: ; Where: instantaneous amplitude is The instantaneous phase is Instantaneous frequency is .

[0050] Constructing the Hilbert spectrum: ; This represents the distribution of signal energy in the time-frequency plane. The total Hilbert spectrum is obtained by superimposing the calculations for IMF1-IMF3 separately. .

[0051] Step S3.4 Constructing the Energy Damage Index (EDI) Define an energy damage index based on the Hilbert spectrum: ; Instantaneous energy Integration limits ω1 = 2π × 200 rad / s, ω2 = 2π × 800 rad / s (damage characteristic frequency band); Accumulated energy ; Average instantaneous frequency ; The fundamental frequency of the structure is f0 = 28.5 Hz (determined through frequency domain analysis).

[0052] Example of calculation results: For EQ-5 operating condition, the EDI time history curve shows: 0-1.2s: EDI fluctuated between 0.08 and 0.15, and the crack did not propagate; 1.2-2.8s: EDI gradually increases to 0.25-0.35, and the crack propagates stably; 2.8-4.0s: EDI rapidly rises to 0.45-0.65, entering the accelerated expansion phase; 4.0-5.3s: EDI reaches 0.75-0.88, approaching critical failure.

[0053] Step S4: Damage Evolution Identification and Early Warning Step S4.1 Quantitative identification of damage stage Based on the EDI index, a three-level damage discrimination criterion was established, as shown in Table 3: Table 3 Criteria for Determining Grade III Injury

[0054] The effectiveness of the EDI index was verified by comparing the EDI discrimination results with the actual experimental observations, as shown in Table 4: Table 4. Results of EDI Validity Verification

[0055] Step S4.2 Predict the crack propagation path When EDI enters the accelerated propagation phase (>0.3), the real-time update prediction of the PD numerical model is initiated: the current measured crack length and angle are used as the initial conditions for the PD model; based on the calibration parameter s0 * The crack propagation trend within the next Δt = 10 seconds is calculated. Considering the randomness of material parameters (s0 is taken as mean ± 10%), 100 Monte Carlo simulations are performed to obtain the propagation path envelope.

[0056] Step S4.3 Triggers a multi-level early warning mechanism Based on the calibration experimental data, three levels of early warning thresholds were set, as shown in Table 5: Table 5. Level 3 Early Warning Setting Scheme

[0057] EQ-5 operating condition warning triggering process: t=2.1s: EDI exceeds 0.3 (0.32) for the first time, triggering a blue alert, which is recorded and marked by the system; t=3.8s: EDI reaches 0.51, triggering a yellow alert, and sending SMS and APP push notifications to the management platform; t=4.5s: EDI reaches 0.73, triggering a red alert, activating the audible and visual alarm, and automatically dialing the emergency number; In actual engineering, the interval between yellow and red alerts is 0.7 seconds (7 seconds in the prototype), providing a time window for emergency response.

[0058] This embodiment demonstrates the effectiveness and engineering applicability of the proposed integrated method of "shaking table experiment - PD numerical simulation - EEMD - HHT signal analysis" by conducting a full-process test and analysis of a concrete gravity dam shaking table model under a magnitude 6 earthquake loading of 0.05g to 0.80g. The near-field dynamic parameter calibration based on genetic algorithm optimization yielded the optimal solution for the critical elongation s0, controlling the errors in crack propagation length and propagation angle between numerical simulation and physical experiment within a certain range. A standard parameter library that can be widely applied to similar dam structures was established. The constructed energy damage index (EDI) was analyzed using an empirical model. State decomposition and Hilbert-Huang transform effectively extracted crack damage characteristic information, achieving accurate differentiation of the three stages of stable propagation, accelerated propagation, and critical failure. The differentiation results were completely consistent with the actual crack development state observed by high-speed cameras. The multi-level early warning mechanism successfully achieved step-by-step triggering from blue to yellow and then to red warnings in the EQ-5 working condition, providing an emergency response time window for the prototype project. It solved technical problems such as the difficulty in simulating crack propagation in dam structures, the lack of basis for parameter calibration, and the inaccurate quantitative identification of damage evolution, providing reliable technical support for online monitoring and emergency decision-making for dam seismic safety.

The shaking table is a three-axis, six-degree-of-freedom shaking table used to support the physical model of the dam structure and apply seismic loads.

The accelerometer array is arranged according to the aforementioned scheme to collect three-axis acceleration signals in the crack area. The data acquisition system simultaneously collects vibration signals and high-speed camera data to record the entire process of crack propagation.
