The invention relates to a bridge finite
element model correction method based on a ground-based
radar, and belongs to the technical field of structure monitoring. The method comprises the following steps: synchronously acquiring deformation data of a bridge by using a ground-based
radar; carrying out
noise reduction
processing on the dynamic deflection by utilizing the combination of a variation mode
decomposition algorithm optimized by the improved
whale optimization
algorithm and a
wavelet threshold value; performing
modal identification by using a
frequency domain decomposition method, and determining main modals of the first four orders of the bridge structure; establishing a bridge initial finite
element model, and realizing mapping through a
Kriging agent model, namely establishing a correlation between a correction parameter and a
target response value; according to the method, fitness functions are respectively constructed by adopting residual values of four-order
modal vertical bending frequencies, finally, a Pareto set is obtained through calculation by improving a multi-target
whale algorithm, meanwhile, indexes are proposed to measure the quality of solutions in the Pareto set, and an optimal solution is selected to be used for correcting the model. Compared with a traditional bridge finite
element model correction mode, the method has the obvious advantages of being non-contact, high in speed, high in precision and the like.
